Wearing her usual holstered firearm U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on Independence Day injected a heavy dose of Christian nationalism into her speech in Mesa County, Colorado. Rep. Boebert said that she sees her constituents as "an army for everything that Jesus has purchased for us and our children, and our children's children."

Republican lashes out at 'capitulation' of GOP to Trump — and says Lauren Boebert clearly knew about Jan. 6

But according to a New York Times profile, Kinzinger assumed it would be about Social Security instead. After the attack on the U.S Capitol Jan. 6, it became clear what he would have to do.

'They increasingly look like dupes': Historian draws a damning parallel for the future of Trumpism

When a violent mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6 in the hope of stopping Congress from certifying Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, some of the rioters were carrying Confederate flags. Historian Heather Cox Richardson, in a Substack article published this week, outlines some parallels between Confederate insurrectionists of the American Civil War and the Trump supporters who attacked the Capitol Building almost half a year ago.

And from her point of view, history doesn't bode well for the Trumpists — including former Attorney General Bill Barr, who is trying to rehab his reputation.
