A hacker gained access to witness testimony related to investigations into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who resigned from Congress last week after President-elect Trump tapped him for attorney general, multiple news outlets reported Tuesday.

The unidentified person, using the name “Altam Beezley,” downloaded the information on Monday afternoon, according to The New York Times, which was the first to report on the breach.

The file contained 24 exhibits and is said to include testimony from a woman who said she had sex with Gaetz when she was 17, and testimony from another woman who said she witnessed the encounter, according to The Times.

The Times and CBS News reported that the file is part of a civil defamation case. The Times also reported it includes sealed files from the Justice Department and House Ethics Committee.

The materials do not appear to have been made public. Interest in the files may be at an all-time high, given Gaetz’s looming confirmation process.

The Ethics Committee has been investigating Gaetz for years over allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, among other claims. Gaetz, whom the Justice Department declined to charge after investigating the same matters, has vigorously denied wrongdoing.

The Florida Republican resigned from Congress as the release of the Ethics Committee’s report was imminent, a source familiar with the matter told The Hill last week.

While the panel doesn’t generally release information about former lawmakers, the committee is facing mounting pressure to make its findings public.

Senators on both sides of the aisle have said they would like to see the report as they mull whether to confirm Gaetz as the nation’s top prosecutor, and on Monday Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), the top Democrat on the Ethics Committee, said she thinks the report should be released.

Hope this is allowed

WASHINGTON—Citing their ready availability and consistent quality, a report released Monday by the Brookings Institution confirmed that, as far as oyster crackers go, the nation is doing pretty good. “The United States is currently in a very respectable place in terms of oyster crackers, and at present, any existing oyster cracker–related concerns are minimal,” said the report’s lead researcher, Kevin Purcell, who offered the prevalence of oyster crackers in supermarkets, the rarity with which they are discovered broken, and the fact that packets of the crackers—often two at a time—are handed out free of charge with many soups and chowders as clear evidence that the country is in a solid spot, oyster cracker–wise. “Using these small crackers as our sole metric, the findings could not be any clearer: We are doing well as a nation. Our needs for oyster crackers are being met and then some. Could things take a downturn in the future vis-a-vis oyster crackers? Certainly. But there is nothing to suggest that we are moving in that direction as of now.” Researchers acknowledged, however, that despite current positive trends, the country likely would never match up to the golden era of oyster crackers of the late 1840s.

Report all you want. This is not getting taken down. Fuck nazis.

Some unsolicited advice:

I'm sure plenty of you are pretty upset about the election results, and that's OK. You're allowed to grieve. Fascism blows. But don't wallow in depression for days on end. In the end the only thing that we really have is each other, and let me tell you, being sad really sucks when you don't have anyone else who gets it like you do. So...

Go. Make. Some. Friends.

Build your community. One you feel safe and accepted in. Find people you can count on (and who can count on you) when things get rough.

I say this as someone who had almost nobody but some family (who still didn't 'get' it) in 2020 when things really sucked as well.

Find friends who are into helping others out. Seek out mutual aid groups (Food Not Bombs as an example) and/or people who would want to do that kind of work. The founder of my FNB chapter literally started out with a grocery cart of produce on a street corner with some friends handing it out.

Try to think outside the box of your current situation:

Why do we even let these politician fucks tell us what to do? Is the traditional family something that is really benefiting you? What other systems might benefit us better than what exists right now?

Question how things are. Do they need to remain like this in your life?

Want to leave the country? Go for it. I don't blame you at all. But when you arrive at your new place do the same things talked about above.

Revolution doesn't have to be all guillotines and molotovs.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
