Joe Biden

After the New York Times reported on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flying an upside-down flag following the January 6 insurrection, one top Senate Democrat is calling his ability to fairly adjudicate January 6 cases into question.

The Hill reported Friday that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) is now demanding Alito recuse himself from all January 6-related cases following a report in which he said his wife, Martha-Ann, flew the upside-down flag as part of a dispute with neighbors. Martha-Ann was reportedly upset about a neighbor in their Alexandria, Virginia community displaying a lawn sign featuring a derogatory phrase directed at former President Donald Trump.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) "has been bullied into submission," said MSNBC producer Steve Benen in a Friday column.

Even Fox is growing tired of the investigations into President Joe Biden and his cabinet officials that lead nowhere. Speaking to host Maria Bartiromo last week, Jordan faced off against one of his own allies, asking if the House Republicans were ever going to do what they promised.

Justice Samuel Alito on Friday appeared to compound concerns over the bombshell New York Times report revealing a flag associated with the January 6 insurrection and the "Stop the Steal" movement was flying at his house just before President Joe Biden was inaugurated and while the Supreme Court was reviewing a 2020 election case.

Alito, whose far-right positions including writing the majority opinion in the Supreme Court case overturning Roe v. Wade, have infuriated and frustrated the left, once again has found himself the subject of apprehension over his impartiality and grasp of ethical norms.

The Republican congressional committee that supports incumbent GOP members has accused a Democratic former soldier of supporting Hamas.

The GOP is claiming that Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) said, "I support Hamas."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is asking a court to impose a "very long" sentence of the conspiracy theorist who broke into her home and brutally attacked her elderly husband.

The former House speaker's husband Paul Pelosi says he still suffers from dizziness, headaches, balance problems, nerve pain and walking challenges after David DePape attacked him with a hammer in October 2022, just before the midterm elections, reported CBS News.

The chaos that erupted in the House Oversight Committee on Thursday evening left the co-hosts at "The View" debating whether Republicans in Congress have finally gone too far.

On the agenda was passing a contempt vote for Attorney General Merrick Garland, who refused to turn over a recording of Joe Biden speaking to Special Counsel David Weiss.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito told a Fox News host that his wife displayed an upside-down American flag outside their home following a January 2021 confrontation with a neighbor.

The conservative justice had told the New York Times, which revealed the flag and published a photo of it, that his wife flew the MAGA symbol "in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs," but Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream says Alito told her that his wife had been verbally harassed by the man.

A symbol of Donald Trump's "Stop the Steal" movement, which culminated in his January 6, 2021 rally and the insurrection that followed, was flown over the home of Justice Samuel Alito just days before Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, and as the U.S. Supreme Court was reviewing a 2020 election case. Now, calls are mounting for Justice Alito's ouster.

The "Stop the Steal" movement, created in 2016 by far-right activist Roger Stone, was put into action by Trump acolytes during the 2020 election cycle. It is based on the "Big Lie," promoted by Donald Trump and the majority of his followers, the false claim that Joe Biden did not win the 2020 presidential election, that it was "stolen."

CNN's Fareed Zakaria buried U.S. Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito for displaying a MAGA symbol outside his home in the days between the Jan. 6 insurrection and president Joe Biden's inauguration.

The conservative justice claims his wife flew an upside-down American flag, which some of the U.S. Capitol riots carried during the violent insurrection, in response to a neighbor's sign she found personally insulting, and Zakaria dismissed his explanation as absurd and insufficient.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) chaotic insult-lobbing in the House of Representatives Thursday night led to additional insult-lobbing by a Democratic colleague on Friday morning.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) joined the fray during a CNN interview in which he bashed Greene for her behavior in the House and her headline-making campaign tactics outside of it.

The threat to democracy will continue even if former President Donald Trump loses the election, wrote Jamelle Bouie for The New York Times on Friday — because he is already preparing to attack the democratic process all over again.

"For Trump, a man who seems to live in the eternal present, 'stop the steal' never actually ended," wrote Bouie. "He maintains, as he did on Nov. 3, 2020, that he won the presidential election that put Joe Biden in the White House. Last month, he told an audience in Wisconsin, 'We won this state by a lot.'" (He lost it by 20,682 votes.)

Republican operative Scott Jennings on Friday went on CNN to accuse Democrats of taking Black voters for granted, but former Democratic South Carolina State Rep. Bakari Sellers was quick to slap him down.

During a discussion on President Joe Biden's newly planned outreach to Black voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Jennings claimed that Black voters were flocking to former President Donald Trump despite his long history of racist rhetoric.
