One of the biggest rocks overturned by the January 6th Committee was when it discovered that the Homeland Security Inspector General was attempting to suppress evidence related to Donald Trump’s attempt at overthrowing the government. He’s been under federal investigation ever since. But now that investigation is much bigger, and according to the Washington Post,…
Marjorie Taylor Greene already has de facto control over an illegitimate House of Representatives, thanks to “Speaker” Kevin McCarthy’s willingness to cower to her. Now Greene is trying to call the shots when it comes to whom Donald Trump is allowed to hire. After the news broke that Trump was planning to hire right wing…
When the Tennessee Republican state legislature wrongly expelled two Black Democrats yesterday in an openly racist political stunt, even the Republicans involved seemed to acknowledge that it would be a short lived stunt. After all, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson can take their seats back fairly quickly just by running and winning special elections. But…
It all started as a public protest against the Tennessee Republican state legislature’s refusal to do anything about gun reform. Now that Tennessee Republicans have wrongly expelled two Black Democrats for having dared to participate in those protests, suffice it to say that the protests have only grown even larger. Check out this footage of…
It lasted a day and a half. That’s how long Donald Trump was able to remain on track, and refrain from attacking the people involved with his criminal prosecution, after someone in his circle apparently managed to scare him into behaving. Trump just can’t help himself. Today he’s back to calling for Manhattan District Attorney…
When Donald Trump was arrested and arraigned in Manhattan this week and then gave an unhinged speech afterward, two of his kids were there to support him, and he mentioned four of his kids. Missing in action: his wife of eighteen years, Melania. Now Melania’s former associate Stephanie Winston Wolkoff is explaining why Melania was…
We’ve already noted that over the past day and a half Donald Trump has changed up his social media approach entirely, first going quiet for nearly 24 hours, and then returning with a bunch of vitriolic attacks against everyone except those involved with his criminal cases. Now we’re left to wonder if perhaps this has…
After Donald Trump was arrested and arraigned, he immediately ramped up his attacks on the prosecutors, judges, and witnesses in the criminal cases against him. He did this both online and in the one big speech he gave. But now something has changed. Trump went quiet on his social network for nearly 24 hours, before…
House Republicans like Jim Jordan keep claiming that the government has been “weaponized” against Republican politicians. They’ve even created a fraudulent committee over it. But the real “weaponization” is going on in places like the Tennessee state legislature, and it’s being carried out against Democrats. House Democrat Dan Goldman is having none of it: .
The Tennessee Republican state legislature expelled two Black Democrats on Thursday on false grounds. The backlash has come fast and furious from within the state and all across the nation. Political pundit Brooklyn Dad said best: . . “This ain’t over” indeed. The political awakening in Tennessee is just getting started.
The Tennessee Republican state legislature moved to expel three Democrats today on false grounds, then ended up only expelling the two Black ones while failing to expel the white one. It’s one of the most blatantly racist abuses of power in recent memory – and one of the most stupidly self defeating. No one was…
Being put on criminal trial in three jurisdictions, and being sent to prison, will certainly finish off Donald Trump’s 2024 pipe dream when it happens. But the specter of Trump’s criminal worsening criminal problems, and questions about whether he’ll even be available for the general election, are likely to sink his 2024 hopes before prison…
