    This was a big moment: Sen. Kamala Harris got Barr to admit that he decided not to charge Trump with obstruction—perhaps the most consequential DOJ decision since Watergate—without examining any of the underlying evidence

    The NRA really badly wants this story to go away. Instead, we've kept adding to it.

    This one is pretty easy: Kevin McCarthy is working to block a bipartisan congressional investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection because Kevin McCarthy is deeply implicated in the Jan. 6 insurrection

    A lot going on right now but this story deserves way more attention: “The investigation exonerated the Obama team and probably would have hurt Donald Trump’s reelection, so Bill Barr decided to keep it under wraps.”

    I guess Chuck Grassley (and Lindsey Graham) underestimated Diane Feinstein a bit, huh
    She survived childhood abuse, assassination attempts, and a brutal fight with the CIA. Now it’s...

    Kevin McCarthy deserves this historic humiliation. He knew how dangerous and evil the January 6 insurrection was, but he chose not to do the right thing. Instead, he licked Trump's boots and got fully onboard with the cover-up. It's good for democracy that he's paying this price.

    This is jaw-dropping and should be a much, much bigger story. How DHS had specific, highly alarming intel well in advance but failed to sound the alarm about January 6 news.yahoo.com/exclusive-an-i…

    Our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low. You can thank Congress, the same people that can't even give us HCare!

    Talk of Tim Walz’s 30-year-old DUI really makes one think about how someone charged with conspiracy, obstruction, the Espionage Act and convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud cannot possibly be fit to serve in the White House

    Trump presiding over West Virginia crowd chanting "lock her up" as the special counsel's investigation fast closes in around him. Surreal.

    There is no other way to describe this than a calamity, including what are now apparently 50 nuclear weapons effectively stranded in Turkey. If you care about US national security and still support Trump at this point, you’re out of your mind
    Turkish troops and Turkish-backed Syrian fighters on Monday near the city of Manbij, during their assault on Kurdish-held border areas in northeastern Syria.

    Monumentally stupid and destructive words from Pompeo. Joe Biden won the election and will be the next president of the United States. The whole world knows it. Don’t ever forget Pompeo did this.

    At the root of the big ‘Twitter files’ hype from Matt Taibbi and Elon Musk is… a Steve Bannon disinformation op. Check out and share this must-read investigation from @MotherJones reporter @dfriedman33
    We found the guys behind the Hunter Biden porn that Elon Musk won't shut up about
