I think we all know how this is going to go. Clown show investigations of any imaginable thing followed by massive subpoenas for testimony and documents. Some of those will be refused so I expect an avalanche of criminal contempt referrals for everyone associated with the administration. The DOJ will ignore these at which point Republicans will claim this is covering up the scandal of the century despite showing no interest in any executive branch oversight from 2017 through 2020.

Also some claims about the democrats working with the Chinese Communist Party and maybe reopening Benghazi.

Other than them, who cares about Hunter Biden? When is he running for office?

Surprise they aren't calling for digging up Beau to bring his dead body before their quality committee investigations.

The new federal funding bill, which evidently is expected to pass, contains, among other things, this:

Overhaul of the electoral vote counting law:
A provision in the legislation aims at making it harder to overturn a certified presidential election, in a direct response to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

The changes would overhaul the 1887 Electoral Count Act, which then-President Donald Trump tried to use to overturn the 2020 election.

The legislation would clarify the vice president’s role while overseeing the certification of the electoral result to be completely ceremonial. It also would create a set of stipulations designed to make it harder for there to be any confusion over the accurate slate of electors from each state.


IIRC I read somewhere that McConnell is supporting this, which is why, I assume, it's expected to pass.

Anyway, it strikes me as not a bad thing. Though it is just a bare beginning of the political and legal reform we urgently need. Still, I'm surprised they have a chance of getting it through in this political environment. I think the press should stay low key about it.

Good thing they have Trump on record ordering his followers to “Storm the capitol!” for an insurrection instead of telling them to respect the police or stay peaceful.

They really got the orange man this time and will go to jail for sure.

Oh this is just great...


Trump "ethics lawyer" is paid by Trump to represent Cassidy Hutchinson for the 1/6 hearings. Doesn't tell Hutchinson that he's being paid by Trump. Advises Hutchinson to "forget" things she clearly remembers.

Which is almost certainly when she dropped his ass. Good for her. He sounds like a scummy piece of shit.

They are at least smart enough to know that there will be nothing but chaos with the new majority in the HOR. They sometimes actually care about the country and know this is the only significant legislation that will get accomplished between now and the 2024 election. They (Senate Pub leadership) will never admit it though.

I'm not usually high on editorials, having been a subscriber to various print newspapers in the past. I have subscribed to The New York Times online for over a year now, don't know what their print version is like nowadays (did subscribe to that here on the west coast many years ago), but the online version I've seen the last year+ hasn't featured editorials with any frequency, at least on the front page.

This New York Times Editorial Board piece on the front page right now is meaty... no wishy washy shit here.

This link should work for 14 days, i.e. until January 5, 2023:

Their "report" is just designed to provide talking points not getting to the truth. They quote Trump using the word "peacefully" but omit the phrase "storm the capital". GOP "report" also fails to mention Trump doing nothing for 2 hours after the break in. They also try to impugn Nancy Pelosi with the rumor claiming she reject additional National Guard. They fail to admit the speaker is NOT in charge of security. Just like the President isn't in charge of security at the White House
