Proud Boys’ convictions exacerbate Donald Trump’s legal peril: legal expert

A legal expert believes the conviction of four members of the Proud Boys, including the far-right group’s leader, Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, of seditious conspiracy over a plot to keep Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election, has implications for the former president.

Former federal prosecutor Dennis Aftergut writes in an opinion piece for MSNBC that the jury on Thursday was the third to convict in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as an “organized, violent uprising meant to overturn the 2020 election” means that “in courtrooms it’s now established beyond a reasonable doubt that the Capitol siege was not spontaneous, but rather a planned assault by force on our democracy.”

China-hawk GOP senator making thousands of dollars from business deal with Chinese state firm: report

Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) talks a tough game in standing up to China, and was known for his hawkish anti-China speeches in his former office as governor of Nebraska. But according to The Daily Beast, he is making thousands of dollars off the sale of a business to a company controlled by the Chinese government.

"The new filings by the son of billionaire Cubs owner Joe Ricketts reveal that he had received payouts in the amount of $2,501 to $5,000 last year from his holdings in the National Cement Share Company. The submissions note these are mere 'holdbacks' from the 2021 sale of the stake in the complex to West China Cement held by a private equity firm in which Ricketts served as limited partner—a $23.4 million transaction which The Daily Beast reported on last year," reported William Bredderman. "The recently appointed Republican senator’s office told The Daily Beast he would get a further payment of between $1,001 and $15,000 at an as-yet unknown date in the future. His team further asserted he had no decision-making role in the sale. Ricketts’ press staff in the governor’s office had previously failed to return calls and emails from The Daily Beast regarding the deal."

'Sprinting away from sanity': Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed for debt ceiling crisis

Marjorie Taylor Greene, along with Congress’ “collection of destructive MAGA lawmakers,” is directly responsible for the pending economic crisis that’s looming if the debt ceiling crisis isn’t raised, USA Today columnist Rex Huppke wrote Wednesday.
