Santa’s takeoffs and landings in Mississippi were approved, and exceptions were granted for last-minute additions to the “Nice List.” MDOT encouraged residents to follow Santa’s safety example by ensuring children are in car seats, seatbelts are worn, and distracted driving is avoided.

Inside the Gaetz ethics report, a trove of new details alleging payments for sex and drug use
SUMMARY: The House Ethics Committee’s report on Matt Gaetz includes serious allegations, such as involvement with an underage girl and payments for sex. The bipartisan investigation, based on texts, payments, and testimonies, outlines Gaetz’s drug-fueled lifestyle and “transactional” relationships with women. Between 2017 and 2020, he reportedly paid tens of thousands of dollars, with one woman alleging he paid her $400 for sex when she was 17. Although Gaetz denied wrongdoing and claims exonerating evidence, he failed to cooperate fully with the investigation. The Justice Department’s lack of cooperation further hindered the committee’s findings. Gaetz labeled the investigation frivolous.
