Timeline
Russia and Russian Agents
Rudy Guiliani's former associate calls out Trump and GOP leaders for knowingly spreading Russian propaganda and “pushing a false narrative" about President Biden.
The House Oversight Committee hearing to impeach President Biden dissolved into chaos when Guiliani's former associate called out Republicans saying, "The American people have been lied to, by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and various cohorts of individuals in government and media positions." Lev Parnes named individual GOP congressional leaders for spreading Russian "falsehoods to serve their own interests, knowing it would undermine the strength of our nation." Parnes added, "The only information ever pushed on the Bidens and Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents."
Make the RNC White Again
Trump's purge at the RNC has been described as an "absolute bloodbath" and "a harbinger of things to come" of how Trump is planning to take over the federal government.
Just days after Trump successfully installed his daughter-in-law as co-chair of the RNC, the new leadership gutted the existing staff and leadership to make room for Trump loyalists. Former Trump lawyer Christina Bobb has been hired to lead the RNC's new deceptively named "election integrity division'' described by Democratic election lawyer Marc Eliasas as "an all out assault on voting rights and free and fair elections." The RNC also closed their minority outreach program in what one insider labelled “Make the RNC White Again.”
Exploiting Rape for Political Purposes
Senator Katie Britt's lying about a child human trafficking victim during the GOP response to the State of the Union is a new low for Republican women who exploit sexual violence.
Women leaders in the GOP are routinely using the threat of sexual violence to scare voters, while defending Donald Trump and the hateful policies that attack women. They call educators defending transgender youth "groomers" and accuse abortion and IVF healthcare professionals of being sex traffickers who traffic in human embryos. Activist Karla Jacinto Romero, who blasted Senator Katie Britt for lying about her rape, said Britt was "using my story and distorting it for political purposes."
False Derogatory Information
The heart of the House Republicans' case to impeach President Biden is based on an informant arrested for lying to the FBI and fabricating a story about the Bidens' taking bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch.
Republicans and right wing media are desperate to indict President Biden to distract voters from Donald Trump's multiple criminal and civil legal problems. Unfortunately, their star witness against Biden has just been arrested by the FBI. The 37 page indictment charges Alexander Smirnov for making false statements and creating a false and fictitious record. "Despite repeated admonishments that he must provide truthful information to the FBI and that he must not fabricate evidence, the Defendant provided false derogatory information.”
We'll Take Care of That
Within 30 minutes of Wayne County Board of Canvassers voting to certify the 2020 election, Donald Trump called the two Republican members promising them attorneys if they refused to sign the official documents.
16 people have already been charged in Michigan for signing paperwork falsely asserting that Trump had won the state in 2020. Now a tape has surfaced of Trump pressuring two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers to not sign the official documents as is required by law. Also on the call, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is heard saying they would look ""terrible"" if they signed the papers and that ""we will get you attorneys."" To which Trump added: ""We'll take care of that."
Colorado Disqualifies Trump for Insurrection
The Colorado Supreme Court determined that the “undisputed” evidence “established that President Trump engaged in insurrection,” and therefore “is disqualified from holding the office of the President.”
Ignore the GOP spin and read the Colorado Supreme Court decision: "We concluded that the foregoing evidence, the great bulk of which was undisputed at trial, established that President Trump engaged in insurrection." As result the Court ruled that, "Trump is disqualified from holding the office of Present under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States. Because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.”
Trump and Putin Sitting in a Tree
GOP leaders defend Donald Trump who continues his very public bromance with the most ruthless, hateful dictators around the world.
Trump continues to blame immigrants for "poisoning the blood of our country" and in the same breath praises ruthless dictators such as Vladamir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un as ""brilliant"" and "strong leaders" who are "very fond" of him. Former GOP Gov. Chris Christie blasts Republicans for their silence and called Trump "Disgusting," adding “He’s becoming crazier. And now he’s citing Vladimir Putin as a character witness.”
Justice Delayed is Justice Denied
Donald Trump's legal strategy is to delay criminal and civil responsibility beyond the 2024 elections by dragging out lower court rulings that have rejected his dubious claims of presidential immunity.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has asked the Supreme Court to follow their own precedent established 50 years ago in an 8-0 ruling on United States v. Nixon (1974) and grant an expedited hearing on Trump’s claim of ""absolute immunity."" Unfortunately, this is the same Supreme Court that ignored 50 years of precedent when they overturned Roe v. Wade. As MLK wrote 60 years ago in his landmark Letter from Birmingham Jail, ""justice too long delayed is justice denied.
Trump's Early Christmas Present
To appease a vengeful Trump, every Republican in the House voted along party lines and approved a politically motivated impeachment inquiry that lacks either evidence or charges.
Before going home for the holidays, House Republicans gave Trump what he wanted most for Christmas, unanimously voting to open a formal impeachment inquiry into Joe Bidden. Even Fox & Friends co-anchor Steve Doocy blamed Republicans for acting without evidence saying, "they have not shown where Joe Biden did anything illegally.” President Biden called out Republicans for failing to do "anything to help make Americans’ lives better" and for wasting taxpayer's time and money on a "baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts.”
If You Like Criminals
As the courts try to hold Trump and his accomplices accountable for attempting a coup, his supporters are planning to install Trump as a gangster president.
It’s hard to track all the criminal activity surrounding Trump. Ten fake Trump electors in Wisconsin admit Biden won on the same day that 6 fake Nevada electors are criminally charged. GOP Speaker MAGA Mike is blurring faces of January 6 insurrectionists caught on tape to shield them from being “charged by the DOJ.” And in a town hall interview, Trump jokes about being a dictator and compares himself to Al Capone, saying “he was one of the greatest of all time, if you like criminals.”
The Hypocrisy of GOP Free Speech
Trump and his MAGA allies claim free speech when they lie to voters and threaten their political enemies—and then they want to silence their critics.
Recent news is exposing the hypocrisy of GOP free speech, to avoid accountability for spreading lies that encourage violence. An appeals court rejected Trump's argument that he is immune from legal accountability for inciting the violence on January 6. A second court reinstated a gag order that prevents Trump from intimidating court personnel with lies that have resulted in multiple death threats. And despite a detailed and scathing House Ethics report, a majority of House Republicans voted against expelling George Santos for lying to voters and stealing campaign funds.
The Orange Jesus
Liz Cheney exposes the cynical hypocrisy of the Republican Party leadership for lying to the public about 2020 election fraud knowing “it was a farce” and “another public display of fealty to Donald Trump.”
In "Oath and Honor," Liz Cheney denounces Republican leaders as “enablers and collaborators” to the “the most dangerous man ever to inhabit the Oval Office.” Cheney describes congressional GOP members being pressured to sign electoral vote objection sheets to appease Trump's damaged ego. Just before signing, GOP Congressman Mark Green complained under his breath, "The things we do for the Orange Jesus.”
Voters Reject MAGA Extremism - Again!
Trump's Republican Party keeps losing elections as voters—especially women—reject GOP candidates and make protecting reproductive health a top priority.
When the Supreme Court overturned 50 years of reproductive freedom, it was a wake up call for voters that Trump, MAGA extremism, and the GOP culture war is a threat to everyone. Voters handed Trump's GOP yet another embarrassing loss, including passing reproductive rights in Ohio and rejecting anti-abortion candidates across the country. Democrats won key elections including the Governor’s race in Kentucky, securing majorities in the Virginia statehouse, and electing the first woman mayor of Philadelphia.
Republicans: Defund the IRS
House Republicans reveal their top legislative priority: protecting wealthy tax cheats by gutting funding for IRS enforcement.
Apparently House Republicans are blind to irony. In the same week that Trump and his family are testifying in court for committing financial fraud, House Republicans announce a plan to protect the wealthiest tax cheats by cutting $14 billion in funding for IRS enforcement, in order to pay for aid to Israel. Defunding the IRS will add billions to the federal budget by allowing unscrupulous corporations and wealthy individuals to defraud the American people by not paying their fair share of taxes.
Republican Chaos Is a Threat to Everyone
Republican infighting has paralyzed the House, which is unable to authorize aid for Israel and Ukraine without first electing a Speaker.
We are in a worldwide crisis and Republicans are failing to act. Hamas terrorists murdered over 1,000 Jews in the deadliest attack since the Holocaust. Ukraine is fighting for survival against Russian invaders in the largest European land war since WWII. And the US government will shut down in 37 days without passing a budget. All of this is on hold because House Republicans are unable to elect a Speaker and a single GOP Senator is undermining military readiness by blocking more than 300 promotions.
The Republican Civil War
Kevin McCarthy is removed as House speaker by MAGA extremists who are determined to follow Trump's orders to shut down the government.
This is the first time in US history that the speaker of the House has been removed from office. McCarthy angered members of both parties, who accused the speaker of being untrustworthy. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called out House Republicans for embracing “chaos, dysfunction and extremism,” and said that it is the "the responsibility of the GOP members to end the House Republican Civil War."
An Unmitigated Disaster About Nothing
House Republicans hold a Bidden impeachment hearing without evidence as they force a government shutdown without reason.
With less than 2 days left to avoid a government shutdown, Republicans held a house hearing to impeach Bidden that failed to produce any evidence and was called an "unmitigated disaster," by GOP insiders. This failed to appease Trump's most loyal supporters in the house who are demanding unpopular budget cuts or they will force a government shutdown that a right-wing think tank called "the first-ever shutdown about nothing”
Move The F**king Motion
Kevin McCarthy loses his cool as right wing extremists of his own Party challenge his leadership with threats to remove McCarthy as Speaker.
Kevin McCarthy is between a rock and hard place. Matt Gaetz and MAGA extremists are are demanding a government shutdown to force unpopular budget cuts, while swing district Republicans fear that path is political suicide. In a closed-door meeting, a frustrated McCarthy dared the members of his own caucus to follow through on their threats saying, “If you think you scare me because you want to file a motion to vacate, move the fucking motion!”
Red Meat for the Extreme Rightwing
To save his job, Speaker McCarthy caves to the rightwing extremists and orders an impeachment inquiry into Bidden without holding a House vote.
To distract voters from Trump’s multiple legal problems, House Republicans are launching an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. A White House spokesperson said, “McCarthy is being told by Marjorie Taylor Greene to do impeachment, or else she’ll shut down the government. Opening impeachment despite zero evidence of wrongdoing by POTUS is simply red meat for the extreme rightwing so they can keep baselessly attacking him.”
It's Trump's Party, and He'll Lie if He Wants To
With a 40 point lead, Donald Trump sat out the GOP Presidential Debate to repeat election lies and grievances in a taped interview with Tucker Carlson.
After 2 hours of debate, the 8 GOP Presidential candidates failed to offer any alternative to Trump's dark vision for America. The GOP candidates took turns angrily blaming Democrats, people of color, the queer community, and even teachers without offering any policy solutions except banning abortion and cutting taxes.
