Get ready for the newest bipartisan political phenomenon to hit the House of Representatives: the impeachment warrior. With Donald Trump’s first term — capped off by a bloody riot and siege of the Capitol aimed at overturning the last presidential election — in the mirror, Americans are looking ahead to an expected rematch between Trump […]

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is facing growing calls to recuse himself from Jan. 6-related cases after a bombshell report of an upside-down American flag flying on his lawn house shortly after the attack on the Capitol, which he claimed his wife did as part of a spat with an anti-Trump neighbor.

Every day, the House of Representatives has worked as the largest law firm in Washington, D.C. on behalf of just one client, and they brought all of this nonsense into this room promising evidence of impeachment, and they’ve delivered zero. But you know who has actually delivered? The FBI, because they keep arresting the best […]
Maybe I’m going out on a limb here, but the hapless House Republicans have finally achieved something big: an end to tit-for-tat impeachments.

Convicting Mayorkas of high crimes and misdemeanors, requiring support from two-thirds of a Democratically controlled chamber, was doomed when two Republicans joined Democrats to strike down the measure’s first vote in the House. It was doomed when the second attempt […]
