Marjorie Taylor Greene

A mainstream Republican is facing off against a Hitler-quoting first-term Republican in a newly drawn Illinois congressional district.

Rep. Rodney Davis has represented a swing district in central Illinois since 2012 as one of the GOP's more moderate lawmakers, but the state lost a House seat after the 2020 census and redrew its congressional map to place him in a primary battle against hardcore conservative Rep. Mary Miller -- which drove the veteran lawmaker to the right, reported The Daily Beast.

A Naval reservist who had held a top-level security clearance – along with Nazi sympathies – was arrested Wednesday on misdemeanor charges in connection with the January 6 riot, the Washington Post reported.

In court filings unsealed today, federal prosecutors argued that Hatchet M. Speed posed an “alarming” threat to public safety, the Post reported. Speed faces charges of illegal entry, disorderly conduct and parading in the U.S. Capitol.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion in 1973, Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made an appearance outside the Court, gloating that the ruling was an "answer to prayer."

"We're going to protect life," Greene can heard saying in one video while being ushered away from an increasingly aggressive crowd.

WASHINGTON D.C. — Congressional Democrats angrily denounced the United States Supreme Court's decision to overturn a 50-year precedent set by Roe v. Wade, and vowed to continue fighting for women's reproductive rights.

In an interview with Raw Story, Rep. Madeline Dean (D-PA) accused the Supreme Court of "taking us back more than 50 years" and vowed to fight back.

On Thursday evening, CBS News Chief Election and Campaign Correspondent Robert Costa posted a January 11th, 2021 email sent by United States Representative Mo Brooks (R-Alabama) to then-Special Assistant to the President and Oval Office Operations Coordinator Molly Michael on behalf of himself and congressional allies with instructions from former President Donald Trump on how they should request pardons for their roles in the January 6th, 2021 attempted coup.

The extraordinary memo was texted to CBS by Brooks and contains numerous typos as well as references to constitutional clauses that do not exist.

Republicans cannot possibly support former President Donald Trump or any of his allies who tried to help him overturn the 2020 election after the public revelations from the latest House select committee hearing, according to conservative commentator Charlie Sykes.

Some of Trump's top Justice Department officials testified that the former president pressured them to declare the election corrupt, so he could try to hold onto power, and other witnesses revealed that GOP lawmakers who assisted his attempted coup -- including Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene -- had asked for pardons before he left office.

Multiple Republican members of Congress were put on the defensive on Thursday after explosive testimony that they sought pardons from Donald Trump for their roles in his attempted coup.

"Several top Trump aides during the post-Jan. 6 period, including special assistant Cassidy Hutchinson and aide Johnny McEntee, described outreach to White House officials from multiple members of Congress seeking clemency: Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AR), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Scott Perry (R-PA), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL)," Politico reported. "Additionally, according to the former Trump aides’ testimony, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) sent an email on Jan. 11, 2021, asking for 'all purpose' pardons for every lawmaker who objected to electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania."

The British filmmaker who interviewed multiple members of the Trump family near the time of the Jan. 6 attack discussed the questions he was asked about Ivanka Trump when he was interviewed behind closed doors by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol before Thursday's public hearing.

Alex Holder was interviewed by CNN's Don Lemon.

On Thursday, following an explosive day of testimony from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) told Politico reporter Anthony Adragna that he still denies seeking a presidential pardon over the plot to overturn the 2020 election.

"I stand by my statement that I never sought a Presidential pardon for myself or other Members of Congress," said Perry. "At no time did I speak with Miss Hutchinson, a White House scheduler, nor any White House staff about a pardon for myself or any other Member of Congress — this never happened."

One of America's foremost constitutional law experts believes that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will be disqualified for office following Thursday's hearing by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Laurence Tribe, who has taught constitutional law to generations of America's top lawyers at Harvard Law School, offered his analysis on Twitter following the hearing.

The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol concluded its fifth public hearing on Thursday and revealed that multiple Republican members of Congress – Mo Brooks (Alabama), Matt Gaetz (Florida), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Scott Perry (Pennsylvania), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia) – sought pardons in January of 2021 from then-President Donald Trump after they voted against certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in the Electoral College.

Not long after the bipartisan panel recessed, Gaetz, a fiercely loyal Trump ally and proponent of the Big Lie, took to Twitter to disparage his colleagues and their historic inquiry.

Bombshell revelations about Republican members of Congress seeking presidential pardons for their roles in Donald Trump's attempted coup could disqualify them from office, according to a top legal scholar.

"Multiple Republican members of Congress asked White House officials whether Trump would preemptively pardon them for their activities in the lead-up to Jan. 6 before he left office, testimony provided by former White House aides to the committee shows," The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) played a leading role in the fifth public hearing for the House Select Committee on Thursday. Among the things that Kinzinger revealed was that a number of Republican members of Congress asked for preemptive pardons.

He explained that the only reason he knows that someone would ask for a pardon is if they committed a crime.
