Why Liz Cheney can get away with things that the Democrats on the January 6th Committee can’t
So that was fast
When the January 6th Committee revealed incriminating text messages between Mark Meadows and an unnamed Republican member of Congress during the Meadows contempt hearing, we pointed out why the person’s name was being omitted. Better to let that person squirm, even as other Republicans in Congress rushed to announce that it wasn’t them. As the…

Senator Warnock and Senate Democrats are gearing up to fight and win on voting rights legislation
It’s great to see Senate Democrats gearing up for the big fight to pass federal voting rights legislation in the new year. Senator Warnock is really letting Manchin and Sinema have it over their stonewalling on this issue. Warnock is doing in a way that’s diplomatic enough to give them room to save face by…

Mitch McConnell yells ‘not me’
During its televised prime time hearing last night, the January 6th Committee revealed January 6th text messages between Trump surrogate Mark Meadows and a certain member of Congress – but it didn’t reveal that person’s name. It was also intimated that the committee has similar texts from multiple Republican Congress members. It’s led to questions…

Chris Wallace throws up his hands
Chris Wallace announced on-air today that he’s immediately leaving Fox News. He didn’t cite any specific reasons; he simply said he wants to move onto an unnamed new venture that goes beyond politics. We have no way of knowing, for now at least, whether Wallace’s departure is related to the increasingly deranged behavior of other…

So THIS is what the January 6th Committee has been doing all this time
So what exactly has the January 6th Committee been doing with its time behind the scenes these past few months? It’s confirmed that it’s interviewed hundreds of witnesses and obtained huge amounts of evidence, but what’s come of it? Now, as these things tend to work, we’re getting our answers. Yesterday the committee revealed that…
Read More“This is a very bad day for Donald Trump”
When New York Attorney General Letitia James subpoenaed Donald Trump on Thursday to testify in her civil case against the Trump Organization, New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared that it was a “very bad day for Donald Trump.” As it turns out, Friday was even worse for him. Much worse. On Friday the January 6th…

Here’s the thing about the PowerPoint slideshow that’s blown the Trump election overthrow plot wide open
When Mark Meadows briefly decided to cooperate with the January 6th Committee before changing his mind, a lot of observers took it as some kind of bluff. But it’s now being reported that while he was briefly cooperating, Meadows gave the committee his own incriminating text messages, along with a PowerPoint document that incriminates the…

The January 6th Committee’s approach has paid off, and it’s struck paydirt
It turns out the January 6th Committee has Mark Meadows’ text messages, the Trump regime’s election overthrow PowerPoint presentation, and Trump White House metadata on Jeffrey Clark’s letter. Moreover the committee appears to have had this evidence for awhile now. It’s becoming clear that the committee has amassed a ton of incriminating evidence. For those…

Turns out Mark Meadows gave the January 6th Committee incriminating evidence against HIMSELF
Earlier this week we all learned that the January 6th Committee has text messages that appear to incriminate Mark Meadows in relation to the Capitol attack. The question was how the committee obtained these messages. Some speculated that they were obtained by subpoenaing the carrier, but now we’re getting a different story. It turns out…

No wonder Mark Meadows is going berserk today
If Mark Meadows had simply decided not to cooperate with the January 6th Committee from the start, he’d be in the same boat as Steve Bannon. That’s a terrible boat to be in, given that Bannon has been criminally indicted for contempt and is on a path to prison for it. But because Meadows very…
