The security surveillance dump announced this week that many Republicans claim will show the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a mostly peaceful affair is about to blow up in their faces, an analyst wrote Wednesday.

Writing for Salon, Amanda Marcotte says the tactic of releasing the footage as an attempt to absolve those who participated "doesn't seem like the smartest electoral strategy."

A group of Christian nationalists who believe that their religious faith should have dominion over the American government spent time partying at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort as they openly fantasized of returning to power and crushing their foes, according to a report.

Rolling Stone wrote that notorious theocrat Lance Wallnau and MAGA pastor Jim Garlow were guests at a Mar-a-Lago gathering, held by the America First Policy Institute, at which plans to create a theocracy in the United States were discussed.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) staked much of her transformation from a far-right outcast on the margins of the Republican Party into a top dealmaker on her close alliance with former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — and with his ouster she's been left "flailing," an analyst claims.

The outspoken conservative was one of his most ardent advocates during the chaotic fight to elect him as speaker and, in return, she had her committee assignments restored. She stuck with him until the end, when he was ousted from his role by a renegade band of Freedom Caucus extremists.

A deep dive analysis of new House speaker Mike Johnson's comments on talk radio reveal the Louisiana Republican's deeply conservative views are far outside the mainstream.

CNN reviewed more than 100 of Johnson's interviews, speeches and public commentary covering a period of more than a decade and found that he backed prison for abortion providers, the elimination of hate crime laws, criminalizing gay sex and imposing "biblical morality" in public life.

Former House Select Committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) tore into the Republicans spreading a fresh round of conspiracy theories about the Capitol attack on MSNBC Monday, following the move by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to release the entirety of the Capitol security footage of the incident.

In particular, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) promoted the idea that Kevin Lyons, a rioter sentenced to four years in prison for assaulting police, was an FBI plant because he could supposedly be seen flashing a police badge at agents. The object in his hand was actually a vape pen, and many other far-right figures who pushed the claim later scrambled to delete it — but Lee still has not.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has a message for "extremist Republicans in Congress" — if we avoid traffic hell this Thanksgiving, it's not thanks to you.

"Bottom line is that, you know, in just two or three years, we've gone from people wondering whether the U.S. aviation sector as we knew it would survive to a mountain right now of record demand and record work going on to meet that demand," he told reporters Monday, according to Fox News.

Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon on Monday called on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to create a new Jan. 6 Committee, which he predicted would prove the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.

During his Monday podcast, Bannon said "elites" were guilty of "treason" because they were prepared to enforce digital ID cards and refused to seal the southern border.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) shared an image of a Jan. 6 attacker with a claim that he was a secret FBI agent. He was proved wrong, but still won't delete the claim.

A conspiracy theory spread through Saturday that a man entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, flashed a police badge to a cop and was ushered inside. It's part of the right's ongoing attempt to claim that hundreds of FBI agents flooded into the building, leading Donald Trump's supporters into the building.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) complained that her effort to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was a "failure" because eight Republicans voted against it.

"Eight Republicans joined with the Democrats, Maria, to kill the articles of impeachment I brought to the floor against Secretary Mayorkas," Greene told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. "And it's absolutely outrageous."
