Marjorie Taylor Greene

Having learned their lesson years ago when Republican-led House committees investigated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the 2012 Benghazi attack that led spawned seemingly endless hearings and no evidence of wrongdoing, Democrats are preparing to battle back as House Republicans promise to launch multiple investigations and impeachment hearings aimed President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and assorted administration officials.

As longtime political observer Eleanor Clift wrote for the Daily Beast, Democrats have every intention of "punching back" at the incoming House GOP leadership including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) who is obsessed with revenge after previously being kicked off of congressional committees over her first-term stunts.

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Saturday responded to criticism that Donald Trump has not been forceful enough in defending the Jan. 6 defendants.

Axios reported, "Fuentes told Trump that he represented a side of Trump's base that was disappointed with his newly cautious approach, especially with what some far-right activists view as a lack of support for those charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack."

On Friday, legal expert Chris Geidner took to Twitter to tear apart House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for one of the first plans he has announced once the Republican majority is officially sworn into the chamber.

"On the very first day of the new Republican-led Congress, we will read every single word of the Constitution aloud from the floor of the House — something that hasn't been done in years," McCarthy had pledged. However, Geidner took issue with several aspects of this idea.

Former Gov. Chris Christie blasted Donald Trump's 2024 comeback attempt after his latest racist scandal.

"Former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night had dinner with Nick Fuentes, an outspoken antisemite and racist who is one of the country’s most prominent young white supremacists, at Mr. Trump’s private club in Florida, advisers to Mr. Trump conceded on Friday," The New York Times reported Friday. "Also at the dinner was the performer Kanye West, who has also been condemned for making antisemitic statements."

In a column for the Washington Post, longtime National Review writer Jim Geraghty used Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) near-loss of her seat in the midterm election as a cautionary tale to warn fellow Republican candidates that the politics of perpetual outrage and attention-seeking stunts did not play well with independent voters -- as well as some Republicans.

With the controversial Colorado lawmaker hanging onto her seat by less than 600 votes out of over 320,000 cast in a Republican-leaning district, the conservative columnist pointed out that her opponent Adam Frisch "wildly overperformed expectations by asking voters whether they were tired of Boebert’s brand of 'angertainment,'" before adding that Frisch is on to something.

Former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement suffered a long list of disappointments in the 2022 midterms, including Democratic gubernatorial victories in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Maryland. Democrats prevailed in key U.S. Senate races in Nevada, New Hampshire, Arizona and Pennsylvania, where they flipped a Senate seat that has been mostly in GOP hands for decades: the one presently held by arch-conservative Sen. Pat Toomey and once held by the late Sen. Arlen Specter.

Many of the Republican governors who were reelected in the midterms were traditional conservatives rather than hyper-MAGA candidates, including Ohio’s Mike DeWine, Georgia’s Brian Kemp and New Hampshire’s Chris Sununu. And in Alaska, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski has, according to the Associated Press, prevailed over far-right Trump-backed MAGA candidate Kelly Tshibaka. Murkowski won by 7 percent, and if she serves another six-year term in its entirety, she will be in the U.S. Senate until at least January 2029.

The rapper formerly known as Kanye West was spotted at Mar-a-Lago hanging out with white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Ye and Fuentes were first seen together Tuesday at an airport in Miami, and the rapper tweeted later that night about meeting former president Donald Trump and asking to become his 2024 running mate, reported Insider.

In recent days, several far-right House members have come forward to say they will not be voting for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker, throwing a monkey wrench into the Republican leader's longtime ambitions of taking the gavel, and raising the possibility that, just like in 2015, another Republican could leapfrog over him to take the Speakership.

On MSNBC Wednesday, former Republican strategist Tara Setmayer speculated that person could be Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough went off on House minority leader Kevin McCarthy for "overselling" his threats to investigate various members of President Joe Biden's administration.

The California Republican has vowed to open a string of investigations of Biden and his family, as well as Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas -- whose resignation he demanded over a surge in undocumented migrants across the southern border -- and the "Morning Joe" host and his panelists ripped his flailing efforts to draw support from the GOP's right flank to become House speaker.

More than two years after Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is still spreading conspiracy theories and wants back on Twitter to do so.

Since Twitter was purchased by billionaire Elon Musk, the service has reinstated a number of far-right accounts that had been suspended, including Trump, the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, and Kanye West, who legally changed his name to Ye.

Former Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farrah Griffin doesn't think that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is going to make it to the top spot in the House, she told her colleagues on "The View" Tuesday.

Addressing McCarthy's threats to remove Democrats he doesn't like from congressional committees, Griffin explained that even if he gets elected as the Speaker, he still has no unilateral power to remove someone from a committee, it has to be a full vote from the House. There might not be enough people willing to make that move given the retribution and backlash it could cause them.
