With their wins in Georgia earlier this month, Democrats will now be in control of a 50-50 Senate and that means Senator Bernie Sanders will become the Chair of the Senate Budget Committee.

In the latest vivacious version of the NewsBusters Podcast, executive editor Tim Graham discusses the horrible riot at the Capitol, and the conservative standard that riots are no solution. That said, there’s the embarrassing Project Veritas video of PBS counsel Michael Beller (now dismissed) joking that if Trump wins again, he would “Go to the White
Everyone’s favorite socialist, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is being ridiculous again. This time she is talking about places she has never been to for any length of time and people she doesn’t know. In a lengthy Instagram post, she decided to opine on what red states needed. If you live in one, especially down south, her
No, Tom Hanks will not unite Americans any closer together than we already are right now, which is not united at all. Hanks is Hollywood’s idea of an actor with a non-partisan appeal. He’s been chosen to host a 90-minute primetime Inauguration Day Special titled Celebrating America. We are about to be under the complete
The Former Presidents Protection Act gives a lifetime of Secret Service protection to any former president. Another statute, the Former Presidents Act, excludes presidents who were removed from office by the Senate and is unclear on whether a removed former-president would lose protections.

The culture of impunity was a main cause of the Capitol riot. Don’t let it continue for the riot’s perpetrators, or those who egged them on. The riotous attack on the Capitol last week was a terrible assault on our constitutional system of government. If it is not punished severely, it is likely that there
How crazy are the COVID restrictions making us? A Quebec woman tried a workaround for the strict curfew imposed by the province that, unfortunately, the police weren’t buying. The unidentified woman was caught walking with her husband at about 9 p.m. on Saturday night. She claimed that since she had a leash around her husband’s
“…and therefore I call for the immediate impeachment of Donald J. Trump.” That’s the conclusion one might assume McCarthy would reach if he believes the three propositions listed in the headline. But no. He’s open to Congress making an empty gesture of disapproval — namely, censure — but he’s against impeachment. If I were Pelosi,
Despite justifiable feelings of hopelessness on the part of millions stemming from the events of the past year, we need to continue to petition those in government with the authority to make a difference.

While the list of corporations cutting ties with Donald Trump and other Republicans is growing longer, those companies would be well advised to revisit the president’s actual comments, as I did at PJ Media and note one particularly interesting passage (out of many) that would be exculpatory in a court of law. Or maybe in

They also dismissed any free speech concerns conservatives with Twitter and
Many leftists and Democrats have attempted to frame the Capitol riots in terms of race, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took the cake on Tuesday. She claimed that when pro-Trump rioters breached the U.S. Capitol building, engaged in vandalism, and caused the deaths of five people, they acted because they chose “their whiteness over democracy.”
