Two of the most extreme Republicans in Congress are livid after a modest gun bill cleared a Senate procedural vote on Tuesday evening.

A bipartisan group of senators, who had been working for weeks on the wording of the legislation, voiced confidence that it would have enough support to pass the Senate, and it could be signed into law by President Joe Biden as soon as next week.

A ‘time-traveling cryptographer’ exists among Trump’s ‘motley MAGA crew’ of grifters and charlatans: report

While the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol presented evidence of Donald Trump's role leading the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, those surrounding him who took part in his attempted coup are drawing increased scrutiny.

" Trump is surrounded by his own team of grifters willing to boost his lies in return for his benevolence—people like lawyer John Eastman, longtime adviser David Bossie, and spokesperson Liz Harrington, all of whom worked tirelessly to spread his lies. But, since late 2020, outside of Trump’s core group, a shadow army of grifters and hucksters has joined in to (supposedly) substantiate his unfounded claims," David Gilbert reported for Vice News. "This underground group of grifters is not composed of lawmakers or election officials but of ex-military members, teachers, businessmen, former surfers, and in one case, a time-traveling cryptographer. Members of this motley MAGA crew call themselves 'election integrity experts,' and all claim to have found evidence to back up Trump’s conspiracy theories."
