Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced he's exiting Congress at the end of the month — and the dancing on his grave was swift to begin.

While McCarthy was one of the best at raising money for members, as a leader he was troubled. It took him 15 rounds to win the speaker's ballot in January this year, and he held it until just October. His critics among his own members complained that he talked out of both sides of his mouth — promising one thing to one member and another to a different member.

Atlantic reporter Tim Alberta's new book "The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory" points to evangelical Christianity as a threat to the United States, New York Magazine sums up in its review.

Alberta grew up in a Michigan mega-church, Cornerstone, where his father was the lead pastor until his death. Alberta tells how the congregation slowly devolved into chaos as the new pastor refused to attack Joe Biden and the state's Democratic governor.

Fake electors in Wisconsin have finally agreed that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, according to the Washington Post.

In a civil settlement Wednesday, 10 Republicans who signed paperwork falsely saying Trump had won Wisconsin revoked their challenge and promised not to commit any action like it again.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) continued her media blitz this week by speaking to MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, a previous White House aide from George W. Bush's administration. Wallace has since abandoned the Republican Party — blaming Donald Trump.

Liz Cheney's book "Oath and Honor" was released Tuesday and exposes some former colleagues as knowing full well that there was no election fraud in 2020 and that Trump lost. Others are shown by Cheney to have been too scared of Donald Trump to stand up for themselves.

Former George W. Bush Vice President Dick Cheney doesn't have the most sympathetic reputation among his critics. On Jan. 6, however, his daughter described him as a father terrified for her safety.

According to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), her father sounded the alarm during Donald Trump's speech.

In the days leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, supporters of Donald Trump were using their power to demand others fall in line.

In former Rep. Liz Cheney's (R-WY) new book, "Oath and Honor," she describes Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) as seriously concerned about the safety and security of the members as the Jan. 6 protests were being planned. During a Republican House call, she demanded that there be a security plan and that vehicles be available to usher members quickly out of the Capitol.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) revealed on Monday evening that she secretly listened in on a campaign call by Donald Trump's team on coordinating Jan. 6.

She shared the details in her book,"Oath and Honor."

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) writes in her new book that her impression of "wunderkind" Jared Kushner was that his self-aggrandizing arrogance didn't match reality.

After Donald Trump left the White House and Cheney and other lawmakers began the House Select Committee investigating the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election, Kushner was among those called to testify.

"The View's" Alyssa Farah Griffin on Thursday briefly mentioned some of the rage that Donald Trump has shown behind closed doors — and how it endangers the United States.

The co-hosts were blasting Republicans for being willing to call Trump a lunatic, but still being willing to vote for him.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) was among the Republicans who talked big on Jan. 6, 2021 — but behind closed doors he was visibly afraid, according to Liz Cheney's new book.

In "Oath and Honor," former Rep. Cheney (R-WY) describes Gosar as standing at the podium speaking when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was rushed out of the chamber. Quickly, others in the House leadership were escorted out. Gosar was left standing at the podium, dumbstruck.

Among the things former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) points out in her new book, "Oath and Honor," is that she does not trust Georgia's right wing Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA).

After the attack on the Capitol, on Jan. 6, 2021, Republican caucus members met to discuss next steps. Some were behind impeaching Donald Trump, she said. All agreed that his actions were wrong and unacceptable.

Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone initially rebuffed the House Select Committee's demands to testify about the events on Jan. 6 and what unfolded after the 2020 election.

In her new book, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) explained that he was only willing to talk because he was outed by Cassidy Hutchinson in her bombshell testimony.
