Proud Boys member files “1776 Returns” Capitol attack plan in court, makes things even worse for himself
There comes a point in every cliched murder mystery TV show where a suspect gets desperate and says some variation of “Okay, I robbed a few banks but I didn’t kill anyone,” without realizing he just sent himself to prison. But does this kind of thing happen in real life? It does if you’re as…

January 6th Committee reveals explosive new evidence about Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s 1/5 Capitol tour
When House Democrats revealed in early 2021 that they had evidence one or more House Republicans gave Capitol tours the day before the January 6th attack, they didn’t mention any names. This prompted various House Republicans to yell some variation of “not me,” and House Republican Barry Loudermilk even went so far as to file…
Read MoreThe mystery of the non-pardons
It’s a mystery why various House Republicans are even bothering to deny that they sought Trump pardons. The 1/6 committee and the media wouldn’t be alleging this without either documentation or credible witnesses. The denial arguably makes them look even worse. Accepting a pardon is legally considered an admission of guilt. So perhaps they’re afraid…
Read More2022 race for Mayor of Los Angeles takes a turn
The 2022 race for Mayor of Los Angeles is unusual in the sense that the top two candidates are both running as Democrats. Congresswoman Karen Bass, a longtime Democrat, is running against real estate developer Rick Caruso, who was a Republican right up until the minute he entered the race as a Democrat. Caruso’s decades…

Donald Trump just lost in New York – and AG Letitia James is moving in on him
As expected, the New York Supreme Court has announced today that it will not intervene, and Donald Trump and his kids will be forced to testify to New York Attorney General Letitia James about Trump Organization fraud. Trump dragged out his losing case for as long as possible, but there are a finite number of…

Rudy Giuliani just took it on the chin
We’ve all seen Rudy Giuliani make public appearances over the past year or two in which he was incoherent to the point of coming off as senile, or drunk, or perhaps both. Now we’re getting confirmation from within Trump world that Rudy was in fact drunk during one of the most crucial moments in the…

Is this why Jared Kushner’s January 6th testimony was so bizarre?
During Thursday night’s January 6th public hearing, we saw video footage of everyone from Bill Barr to Ivanka Trump acknowledging that Donald Trump knew he’d lost the 2020 election. They seemed to want to insulate themselves from Donald’s subsequent actions, by throwing him under the bus. But Jared Kushner’s testimony came off rather differently –…
Read MoreTurns out everyone cares about Donald Trump’s crimes after all
Twenty million people tuned in for Thursday night’s public hearing. While much of the information that was presented wasn’t new, it was new to most of the people watching. These hearings are about educating the public and motivating them to demand action and vote accordingly. So far so good. Notably, MSNBC and CNN each trounced…

You’re damn right the Democrats can win the midterms
Someone asked if I think we’ll win the midterms. Two recent polls have the Democrats five points ahead of the Republicans in the generic midterm ballot, so it’s clearly realistic for the Democrats to win. But factors like gerrymandering and voter suppression can chip away at a five point lead, so the midterms have the…

What today’s “Build the wall” mistrial means for the DOJ takedown of Trump world
The one defendant who went to trial in Steve Bannon’s “build the wall” scam managed to get a mistrial today, after one trial juror exhibited a bizarre pattern of behavior including allegedly sleeping through portions of the trial. This defendant will surely be retried with a new jury, and will very likely be convicted. And…

January 6th Committee members Jamie Raskin and Liz Cheney have each recently stated that they have evidence proving that Donald Trump didn’t merely incite the Capitol attack, he criminally conspired to make the attack happen.

This Chris Christie gambit is more insidious than you think
In light of increasing Republican extremism, the media is unsure how to “appear unbiased” to the dummies in the middle who think both sides are the same. So it gives airtime to a Republican like Chris Christie, an extremist who talks like a moderate, for the sake of appearances. It’s not that viewers in the…
