Powell, a former federal prosecutor,…
At this time last year, Donald Trump was still in office and was the nominal head of the Republican party. Now that he’s out of office, though, he is still fully in control of the GOP. And the party is focused on making sure Trump is protected and never blamed for anything. Tuesday was a…
In the post-Trump reality, many things have changed. The GOP is no longer the party that backs the blue. Instead, Republican lawmakers have refused to meet with injured police officers and Conservative talking heads question their actions. Earlier this week, Tucker Carlson dedicated a segment of his show to blasting Capitol officer Harry Dunn. He…
Despite him overseeing the loss of the White House, Senate and Congress, the GOP will keep Donald Trump as their party’s figurehead.

Her attempts to move away from the Fox News channel resulted in disaster when she left NBC after doing a segment where she defended blackface. The former Fox News hosts opinions have only grown more extreme. During a recent episode, Kelly…
Horrific events often have the effect of unifying the country. The attacks on 9/11 was a good example of this. Despite the heavy partisanship of 2001, George W. Bush had a 90% approval rate soon after. 1/6 was another horrifying event in American history. But the country certainly hasn’t come together since. And that, Matthew…
The country is now 6 months past the insurrection on the Capitol inspired by the previous administration.

The presidency of Donald Trump featured a number of truly awful moments. But the worst or the worst was the January 6th insurrection inspired by Trump’s false election claims.

As the 1/6 insurrection has gotten farther in the rear-view mirror, Republicans have been working hard on absolving Donald Trump of any blame.

Following the events of January 6th, Republicans signaled a willingness to understand how the insurrection happened. Terrified of Trump, though, most of them have changed their minds on that matter. Mitch McConnell understands that a commission will be very bad politically for Republicans. So he is urging them to vote against the bill. And that…
It has only taken a few months for Republicans to try and gaslight Americans about the January 6th insurrection.

And during a recent InfoWars broadcast, Owen Shroyer said that the participants in the insurrection should stop apologizing for their actions. In…
Over the last four years, Meghan McCain has frequently been happy to criticize Donald Trump.

And in…
On Wednesday, former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller spoke to lawmakers.

Like other presidents before him, Donald Trump rewarded supporters with roles in his administration. But the 45th president took it to an extreme.

Her tenure was disastrous as…
When a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6th, the rioters came from all over. A number of them, however, came together.

Donald Trump did plenty to incite an insurrection on the US Capitol on January 6th. But that doesn’t mean that he didn’t have help.

The Wisconsin senator recently…
When Donald Trump first became president, he had a few “adults in the room.” But as the 4 years went on, people who may have been wiling to speak out against Trump were jettisoned from Washington.

Donald Trump doesn’t have much use for friends. His two closest friends were a bodyguard who worked in his administration and Michael Cohen, a lawyer who went to jail for him.

For much of January and February, there was a lot of attention being paid to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

When things don’t go Donald Trump’s way, it is always someone else’s fault. The 45th president spent the entirety of his term painting himself as a victim. And that sense of victimhood has trickled down to Conservative media and Trump supporters. This week, House Impeachment Managers have laid out a devastating case against the Trump…
Over the last two days, House impeachment managers have laid out a devastating case against Donald Trump. And a big part of the success of that case has been video footage. On Wednesday, new video was presented from the insurrection and it was quite damning. It is unlikely, however, to change the mind of Republican…

Amanda Chase, a Republican state Rep. hopes to be the one…

Calling the events of January 6 a coup denies the historical character of U.S. governmental institutions and once again threatens to distort if not entirely disarm the understanding of racial injustice in America that needs to inform racial transformation to achieve a just America.
The attack on the US Capitol last week was a first in multiple ways. Of course, the attack was unprecedented. But the assault on Democracy also represented the first time where almost all Republicans were willing to admit that Donald Trump did something bad. And while some are willing to punish Trump for his actions,…
Donald Trump had been asking his supporters to fight for him for weeks. It began with a flyer he distributed promising that January 6th in Washington DC would be a wild time. Then there were weeks of tweets with his claims of frauds getting more extreme by the day. And then there was the speech…
Comedian John Mulaney brilliantly described that it’s like to be an American with Trump in the White House in his 2018 special Kid Gorgeous.
