Sylvester Stallone’s take is easily the most disgusting

When a mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6 in an attempt to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, found herself like many other lawmakers forced to flee the chamber and take cover. While Congress was locked down, several Republicans refused to wear masks. At least three Democratic lawmakers, Jayapal among them, later tested positive for Covid-19. Ryan Grim talks to the congresswoman about her ordeal and her hopeful recovery.

The Capitol was breached by Trump supporters who had been declaring, at rally after rally, that they would go to violent lengths to keep the President in power. A chronicle of an attack foretold.

Federal prosecutors offered an ominous new assessment of last week's siege of the U.S. Capitol by President Donald Trump's supporters on Thursday, saying in a court filing that rioters intended "to capture and assassinate elected officials."

President-elect Joe Biden is tapping former South Carolina Democratic Party chair Jaime Harrison to lead the Democratic National Committee, according to three people familiar with the decision, a major victory for state party heads and the powerful House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn.

Siegfried Fischbacher, one half of the long-running Las Vegas magic act Siegfried and Roy, which featured live big cats such as lions, cheetahs, and, famously, two white tigers has died of pancreatic cancer at age 81, just eight months after his partner in magic Roy Horn died of complications related to COVID-19. Newsweek reports: “A …

Audrey Ann Southard spent years helping kids find their creative voices and strengthening her own. The Spring Hill vocal coach and piano teacher sang like an angel when she posted videos of herself crooning Norah Jones’ Don’t Know Why or belting out Memory from Cats, and when she went to Sicily in 2012 for an international music competition, she won. That led to a showcase on a stage inside New York’s Carnegie Hall. More recently, Southard used her powerful soprano to scream at police officers that they should “tell f--king Pelosi we’re coming for her! F--king traitorous c--ts, we’re coming! We’re coming for all of you!” She was part of the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. And when one protester tells the crowd that the police might let them by if they agree to be peaceful and quiet, Southard, holding the wooden pole attached to an American flag flat against an officer’s torso, yells: “Bulls--t! They’re going to feel us!” “We’re pushing through. Boys, ready to go again?” she shouts back to the crowd, before yelling at an officer, “last breath or last bullet, what’s it going to be?”

Police and prosecutors routinely treat white domestic terrorists with kid gloves, but use the full force of the law against protesters calling for an end to police violence against Black people.

Kenosha prosecutors want new bail conditions for Kyle Rittenhouse barring him from drinking or associating with hate groups and he's OK with that.

Former DOJ official Rod Rosenstein told NBC News that zero tolerance "was a failed policy that never should have been proposed or implemented."

this argument, of course, is just so much nonsense. As is the claim that race-neutrality is achieved when one is blind to race. What is for certain in all of this is that poverty in a capitalist context is made very (and artificially) expensive, and that the insurance policy/scam presently authorized by Washington State not only benefits from this general market law but also reinforces it.

YInMn Blue, the pigment discovered in 2009 at Oregon State University, has finally been approved by the EPA for use in artists' materials.

The alt-right livestreamer was nowhere to be found during his court date this afternoon.

A years-long investigation by the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General found that then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his senior staff rushed forward a family separation that the government was completely unprepared to implement. The combination of intentional cruelty and unintentional incompetence detailed in the report combines to create a horrifying picture of the policy that defines the Trump administration. The OIG’s conclusion that DOJ was not ready to put in place its so-called “zero tolerance” policy has long been obvious. What makes the new report so damning is its hyper-detailed accounting of how things went wrong every step of the way. Parents spent as long as two months before talking to their kids after being separated because the government failed to create a system for keeping them in contact. Jails became dangerously overcrowded as they filled with separated parents sleeping in triple bunks. Sex offenders were released because US Marshals were overwhelmed by the policy. All the while, the Justice Department’s top leaders kept pressing for more separations.

To many Senate Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, there's no question in their minds: President Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses.

As officials promise to bring harsh charges, advocates warn that we can’t “prosecute or jail our way out of a burgeoning fascist movement.”

Of all the rinse-and-repeat stories of palace intrigue to come out of the Donald Trump administration, none is more stalwart than the president raging in an empty White House as he drives away all his former friends. “At a White House in crisis, Trump looks increasingly isolated”: so said Reuters in May 2017. August 2017 brought news that “President Trump Is More Isolated Than Ever.” A month after that, Trump was “The Loneliest President.” January 2018 came and a “Raging, isolated Trump retreats deeper into his bubble.” The cycle continues right up to present, as Democratic hopeful Joe Biden runs an ad saying the nation’s allies are “deeply worried” about Trump: “They say he’s becoming increasingly isolated.” A successful portrait of the president’s increasing isolation typically includes an overfondness for the word “increasingly”; a vague but grave warning that Trump — always erratic, to be sure! — is getting “worse”; and a mind-bending reliance on sources “close to Trump” to describe how he has no one close to him. 

U.S. law enforcement is investigating whether a bitcoin transfer to right-wing organizations and personalities was linked to the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.

The video was made public after President Trump was impeached a second time and after he told his supporters in the hours following the start of the riot last week that “we love you.”
