The Chiefs hired a firm to conduct market research for both a renovated Arrowhead Stadium and a new venue. Will include focus groups w/ STM. They are still looking at options in both Missouri and Kansas — that's true for their stadium and their practice facility, I’m told.

Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick — in charge of helping staff the gov if he wins — says he had a 2.5 hour meeting with RFK Jr. who talked about pulling (safe and proven) vaccines from the market. Lutnick says RFK will not be in charge of HHS, despite what RFK said.

🚨 🚨BREAKING NEWS FROM @PunchbowlNews :
Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe.
The committee planned to vote Friday on releasing the report. Ethics loses its jurisdiction over Gaetz when he leaves Congress.
The secretive panel has been investigating Gaetz on and off since 2021.
President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Gaetz to be attorney general Wednesday.

Schmitt takes himself out of the running
Can confirm.
I ran for the U.S. Senate to represent the people of the Show Me State and I’m just getting started.
The American people have given President @realDonaldTrump a mandate. A mandate to secure our border, make America energy dominant and fight for the forgotten men and women of this country. We need America First fighters who don’t just say they support the agenda but who are willing to stand in the breach and actually fight for it and for the hopes and dreams of the American people.
I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and be a champion for President Trump in the Senate.
