Joe Biden

On Monday's edition of MSNBC's "All In," anchor Chris Hayes mocked the GOP by throwing their past predictions of a "red wave" in the 2022 midterm election back at them in a lengthy series of supercuts.

"We begin at the end of this year, and the historic results for the midterm election," said Hayes. "Democrats gained a seat in the Senate, and Republicans managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Historically, midterm elections have been outright disastrous for a first-term president ... Democratic presidents in their first midterms have seen the party lose an average of 40 House seats and five Senate seats. Since Watergate, the results have looked even worse for the party. Democratic presidents in their first midterms have lost an average of 44 House seats and six Senate seats. Many political observers on both sides of the aisle were expecting a political bloodbath on the level of, say, 1994's Republican revolution, for instance, when Democrats lost 52 House seats and eight Senate seats during Bill Clinton's first term, or the 2010 Tea Party wave, when Democrats lost a whopping 63 House seats and six Senate seats during Barack Obama's first term. For right-wing media ... a red wave was the sure thing."

On CNN Monday, longtime Mitch McConnell strategist and GOP insider Scott Jennings said that former President Donald Trump is bleeding institutional Republican supporters in large part because they are no longer able to defend him amid a mountain of electoral losses and criminal investigations.

This comes as Trump received another blow last week, with the House Select Committee on January 6 releasing its final report and referring the former president to the Justice Department on four criminal offenses for his role in provoking the insurrection and trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

President Joe Biden is in the perfect position for a new war with the Republican Party as the Senate is in Democratic control and the GOP narrowly controls the House. While it likely means every possible amount of progress will be immobilized by the lifeless Congressional body, it sets up Biden to lead Americans against something everyone can oppose.

Writing for the Washington Post, Toluse Olorunnipa mentioned that some of the top Republican leaders are still singing the praises of the Jan. 6 attackers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who bragged that if she were in charge of the insurrection, they would have "won." It led the White House press secretary to call her comments "vile." Greene responded by saying it was a "joke," though it's rare for people to see the humor in terrorism.

No one can accuse the January 6 Select Committee’s final report of not being comprehensive; the report, which National Public Radio (NPR) has published in its entirety on its website, is 845 pages long. One of the many things the Committee covers in the report is the fake electors plot of late 2020, which found MAGA Republicans in swing states circulating bogus Electoral College documents in an effort to give electoral votes that now-President Joe Biden legitimately won to Donald Trump.

In an article published by the conservative website The Bulwark the morning after Christmas 2022, attorney/columnist Philip Rotner examines what the January 6 Committee’s final report has to say about that plot and lays out some reasons why it makes a strong argument for criminally prosecuting Trump.

Controversial Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is under fire after she accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of being "complicit" in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

At least five people died after a mob whipped up by Trump's false claims of a stolen election ransacked the seat of US democracy in a thwarted bid to prevent the transfer of power to President Joe Biden.

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) explained on Sunday's edition of Face the Nation why the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol recommended to the Department of Justice that it should indict former President Donald Trump for four crimes against the United States.

The bipartisan panel submitted its findings and suggestions earlier this week ahead of the Friday release of its final 845-page report on Trump's multifaceted scheme to nullify his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden and remain in power. The Committee's 18-month probe included interviews with more than a thousand witnesses and Trump Administration officials. It also held a series of hearings to help the public understand what happened during the leadup, execution, and aftermath of Trump's failed coup.

On April 7th, 2022, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was confirmed by the Senate to a lifetime appointment as the first Black woman Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Jackson was nominated by President Joe Biden on February 20th to replace liberal Associate Justice Stephen Breyer after he announced his retirement from a twenty-eight-year tenure on the bench. Jackson was sworn in on June 30th.

The Court's two other left-wing Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan were respectively added in 2009 and 2010 by then-President Barack Obama. His third pick – Merrick Garland, the current attorney general – was denied a hearing by then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) because McConnell deemed the timing to be too near to the 2016 presidential election, which former President Donald Trump won.

During a Sunday appearance on MSNBC, Democratic strategist Fernand Amandi described a recent Politico report as a “stunning revelation.”

On Saturday, the publication reported that “two days after pro-Donald Trump rioters attacked the Capitol, then-national security adviser Robert O’Brien got a call from Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell and an aide who asked him to look into something he’d been hearing: retired military personnel sympathetic to Donald Trump might be preparing to prevent Joe Biden’s inauguration.”

According to a top criminal defense attorney, there is a wealth of evidence that will likely put the leadership of the far-right Proud Boys in prison for years and their best possible argument is to plead that they are "not bright" enough to pull off an insurrection.

In a report on the trial of Proud Boy head Enrique Tarrio, who has been accused of seditious conspiracy by prosecutors, the Guardian's Victoria Bikeimpis wrote jury selection is ongoing, and legal observers are wondering what kind of defense strategy his attorneys will attempt.

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at President Joe Biden, the January 6 committee, and his other perceived rivals in two Truth Social posts on Christmas Eve.

"The Unselect Committee’s January 6th Report is a Hoax, no different than RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, and all of the other Scams that the Disinformation laden Democrats have been planting for years," Trump wrote. "If I weren’t leading by a lot in the Polls, against both parties, this continuation of falsehoods and lies would end quickly. I won in 2016, did much better in 2020 (RIGGED!), and the Radical Marxists don’t want to run against me or MAGA in 2024. I had almost nothing to do with January 6th. FREE SPEECH!"

A Republican senator has said that he is concerned that the U.S. Department of Justice will indict former President Donald Trump after the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack issued criminal referrals, according to Newsweek.

One America News Network this week asked North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer what he thought about the criminal referrals.
