Lauren Boebert

Experts are warning that after failing to overturn the 2020 election and take over the U.S. Capitol, extremist groups are gearing up for a kind of "last stand."

Reporting in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, militia researcher Hampton Stall, from the non-profit Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, predicted things will get worse before they get better.

A last-minute Trump administration decision to relocate a major Air Force command office to Alabama may bear marks of a favor to Republican Rep. Mo Brooks, who shilled for the former president's election lies and played a role in the events surrounding the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The full Colorado congressional delegation, including GOP freshman outsider Rep. Lauren Boebert, has called on the Biden administration to investigate "significant evidence" of unspecified political influence behind the decision.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) filed her campaign disbursements and a major reimbursement she outlined in her financial reports.

According to Boebert, she drove 38,712 miles while campaigning in 2020, which entitles her to a $22,259 reimbursement. While it isn't outside the norm for a candidate to spend a lot of time driving during his or her campaign, the mileage is a little excessive. If Bobert drove 12 months with an average of 3,226 miles each month. That would mean she drove across the state of Colorado 8.5 times per month.

When Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2016, no one was going to mistake her for a Rockefeller Republican. Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is an arch-conservative known for her decidedly hawkish and pro-neocon views on foreign policy. But in 2021, the 54-year-old congresswoman finds herself being slammed as too left-wing by far-right extremists in the Republican Party — and her cardinal sin, as they see it, is believing that inciting violent insurrection is an impeachable offense.

On January 6, violent insurrection came to Washington, D.C. when a mob of extremists — including QAnon supporters, members of the Proud Boys, White nationalists and members of various militia groups — stormed the U.S. Capitol Building in the hope of preventing the certification of former Vice President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. Then-President Donald Trump had spent two months promoting the debunked conspiracy theory that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him because of widespread voter fraud, and the mob that stormed the Capitol Building obviously believed him. Some of the insurrectionists were calling for the lynching of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then-Vice President Mike Pence, who the insurrectionists believed had betrayed Trump.

Ethics experts are asking questions about the more than $22,000 in mileage reimbursements Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) paid herself from her campaign last year, The Denver Post reports.

The Colorado GOP lawmaker wrote two checks totaling $22,259 from her campaign accounts for mileage between January and mid-November.

The House voted 216 to 210 to issue fines for any official who refuses to go through metal detectors and violate security screenings.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) are among a few officials who said that she would carry her gun to the U.S. Capitol when she served in Congress. It's against the rules to have a gun in Congress. Members can carry them outside of the building, in their offices and wherever else, but not in the Capitol building.

In a video posted to social media months before announcing her congressional candidacy, Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene called on supporters to "flood the Capitol Building" in a protest against "tyrannical" leaders, telling them that Democratic lawmakers "should fear us" and that "we should feel like we will" use violence "if we have to."

"All of us together, when we rise up, we can end all of this. We can end it," Greene said in the 90-minute rant, which was posted in February 2019 and unearthed on Sunday by Twitter user @zedster. "We can do it peacefully. We can. I hope we don't have to do it the other way. I hope not. But we should feel like we will if we have to. Because we are the American people."

Both of the national political committees dedicated to electing Republicans to Congress have asked the Federal Election Commission to allow lawmakers to use campaign donations to hire bodyguards, citing heightened fears related to the Jan. 6 insurrection and its aftermath — an attack overwhelmingly carried out by Republican voters.

At least five Republican members of Congress have ties to extremist groups who laid siege to the U.S. Capitol earlier this month.

Nearly 150 GOP House members backed former president Donald Trump's false claim that fraud had cost him re-election, but some lawmakers have even closer ties to the insurgents who stormed into the halls of Congress looking to execute Democrats and Vice President Mike Pence to stop the certification of President Joe Biden's win, reported the New York Times.

The post-Trump era of America has begun but the threat of Trumpism remains a serious problem across the United States. A new editorial published by Axios highlights how the main political grievances within the Republican Party could ultimately shape how their party moves forward.

With growing concerns about "big government, big media, and big business," Republicans fear their party is next on the growing list of canceled cultures being censored. In response to that, they will likely become more radicalized. According to Fox News' Tucker Carlson, loyal Trump supporters believe the "combined forces of global power have turned on them and are cracking down hard — hilariously, in the name of democracy."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave chilling remarks on Thursday during her briefing with the press.

"The enemy is within the House of Representatives," she said.
