The Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Andre B. Mathis, a judicial appointee for the U.S. Sixth Circuit and during that hearing, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) used some racially-charged language.

Mathis, who is Black, had his license briefly suspended after he forgot to pay speeding tickets 10 years ago when he was in his 20s. One of the speeding tickets was from him driving five miles per hour over the speed limit.

When the social media site Gettr first launched, former Donald Trump campaign aide Jason Miller claimed it would be a "cancel-free zone," allowing people to say whatever they want. The only exception made at the time of the launch was that no one could trash Gettr on Gettr. Now, the site is moving to ban users.

The Daily Beast reported that one right-wing pundit has been banned after using the N-word in his profile. Jon Miller identifies as a Black conservative using the word in his profile.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough compared Republican lawmakers to televangelists fleecing their flock.

The "Morning Joe" host reacted to video of Dr. Anthony Fauci calling out Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for leveraging his attacks, which the doctor claims directly inspired death threats, to raise campaign money on his website.

President Joe Biden gave a fiery speech in Georgia Tuesday where he argued that the fight for voting rights boiled down to being either on the side of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. or George Wallace.

The president explained that over the past several months he's been "quietly" having conversations with lawmakers -- and then he slammed his hand on the lectern and shouted, "I’m tired of being quiet!"

MAGA world rushed to create a number of social platforms as part of an effort to promote a "free speech" atmosphere where the far-right, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists and QAnon will be accepted without fact-checks. But according to podcaster Joe Rogan, one site is a sham.

Started by former Donald Trump campaign aide Jason Miller, Gettr is drawing criticism from Rogan just days after he joined.

In less than a week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has gone from calling the Jan. 6 "a terrorist attack" to suggesting the FBI was behind the Capitol attack.

Questioning Jill Sanborn, assistant director of the National Security Branch of the FBI, Cruz asked about Ray Epps, who was filmed on Jan. 5 encouraging people to go "peacefully" into the Capitol on Jan. 6. The retired U.S. Marine owns a wedding venue in Arizona and is a long-running Oath Keeper, Snopes reported last week.

A legal expert revealed how prosecutors have signaled that former president Donald Trump has landed in the "crosshairs" of their investigation.

The New York Times reported that federal prosecutors have recently begun asking defense attorneys for some Jan. 6 rioters whether their clients would admit in sworn statements that they charged into the U.S. Capitol to stop then-vice president Mike Pence from certifying President Joe Biden's election win, and law professor Ryan Goodman on Tuesday explained to CNN's John Berman the significance of those request.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has waged a personal war against Dr. Anthony Fauci over the past year, but in a Tuesday hearing the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases came prepared to fight back.

Armed with screen captures of Paul's website, Fauci showed that the senator is using his attacks to make campaign cash.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough pointed out that the public feud between Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Donald Trump revealed a growing disconnect within the Republican Party.

The South Dakota Republican made clear he believes that President Joe Biden won the election fair and square, which prompted an angry outburst from the twice-impeached one-term president, and the "Morning Joe" host said Rounds' view is far more common among GOP lawmakers than most are willing to admit.

Many political analysts have predicted that due to gerrymandering the Republicans have a much greater chance at taking back the House in the 2022 elections. The Senate, however, is another matter and that's why former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) thinks GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is worried about.

Speaking to Lawrence O'Donnell on Monday, McCaskill contrasted Republicans Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI). Rounds came out this week saying that Trump not only didn't win the 2020 election but that it was fairly decided. Johnson, by contrast, continues to promote the "big lie," but he's also said some of the more bizarre things from the GOP when it comes to COVID-19.

President Donald Trump's lawyer took to Newsmax on Monday to personally attack Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis, who is the prosecutor investigating another case against Trump.

The moment came after it was revealed Trump's lawyers had to meet with prosecutors in the Georgia fraud case and around the time of the meeting the former president released an unhinged rant about "prosecutors" and "Democrats."

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow broke the news that former President Donald Trump’s lawyers met with Fulton County prosecutors to discuss voter fraud committed in Georgia as a result of Trump’s pressure campaign.

Speaking about the news, former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal didn't mince words about Georgia doing the work that he thinks the Justice Department is too afraid to do. According to Katyal, "this is a natural precursor to a possible indictment." However, he clarified, "it doesn't mean Donald Trump is going to be indicted by any stretch."

Returning from his COVID-19 infection, NBC late-night host Seth Meyers did a show remotely in which he completely eviscerated Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) after a humiliating interview on the Fox network.

“Now, I had a terrible week," Meyers said after taking a week off. "But the one silver lining was, at no point during the week was I Ted Cruz."
