When President Joe Biden came into office, he moved to fire a series of Donald Trump's appointees to various boards, but not far-right conspiracy theorist Darren Beattie.

According to Business Insider, Beattie, who was appointed after Trump lost his election, serves on the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad. The main role of the commission is memorializing Holocaust victims.

President Joe Biden gave a fiery speech in Georgia Tuesday where he argued that the fight for voting rights boiled down to being either on the side of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. or George Wallace.

The president explained that over the past several months he's been "quietly" having conversations with lawmakers -- and then he slammed his hand on the lectern and shouted, "I’m tired of being quiet!"

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riots wants to speak to Rudy Giuliani, who served as President Donald Trump's lawyer during the over 60 failed lawsuits against the 2020 election results.

Giuliani is likely to claim that he can't testify about anything because he was serving in a legal capacity for Trump. However, Giuliani did say that he worked for Trump "for free" because Trump ordered him to.

MAGA world rushed to create a number of social platforms as part of an effort to promote a "free speech" atmosphere where the far-right, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists and QAnon will be accepted without fact-checks. But according to podcaster Joe Rogan, one site is a sham.

Started by former Donald Trump campaign aide Jason Miller, Gettr is drawing criticism from Rogan just days after he joined.

Former Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) quit his job in Congress to join former President Donald Trump's administration as the Director of National Intelligence, but he could be facing some campaign finance problems.

Forbes on Tuesday provided evidence that Ratcliffe used campaign cash leftover from his days in office to build a personal online presence.

In less than a week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has gone from calling the Jan. 6 "a terrorist attack" to suggesting the FBI was behind the Capitol attack.

Questioning Jill Sanborn, assistant director of the National Security Branch of the FBI, Cruz asked about Ray Epps, who was filmed on Jan. 5 encouraging people to go "peacefully" into the Capitol on Jan. 6. The retired U.S. Marine owns a wedding venue in Arizona and is a long-running Oath Keeper, Snopes reported last week.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has waged a personal war against Dr. Anthony Fauci over the past year, but in a Tuesday hearing the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases came prepared to fight back.

Armed with screen captures of Paul's website, Fauci showed that the senator is using his attacks to make campaign cash.

Bloomberg News detailed the specifics of the governor of Missouri's war against a reporter who did nothing more than right-click on a state's website. According to newly obtained emails, the governor's lawyers and staff are being exposed for an attempt to use a report of a security breach as a campaign issue.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Josh Renaud did nothing more than open a website, but Republican Gov. Mike Parson thinks that means he's a hacker. It began when Renaud discovered a massive security breach when he right-clicked on a government site that publicly listed thousands of Missouri educators and their social security numbers. Parson then demanded that a local prosecutor file charges against Renaud.

Many political analysts have predicted that due to gerrymandering the Republicans have a much greater chance at taking back the House in the 2022 elections. The Senate, however, is another matter and that's why former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) thinks GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is worried about.

Speaking to Lawrence O'Donnell on Monday, McCaskill contrasted Republicans Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI). Rounds came out this week saying that Trump not only didn't win the 2020 election but that it was fairly decided. Johnson, by contrast, continues to promote the "big lie," but he's also said some of the more bizarre things from the GOP when it comes to COVID-19.

President Donald Trump's lawyer took to Newsmax on Monday to personally attack Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis, who is the prosecutor investigating another case against Trump.

The moment came after it was revealed Trump's lawyers had to meet with prosecutors in the Georgia fraud case and around the time of the meeting the former president released an unhinged rant about "prosecutors" and "Democrats."

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow broke the news that former President Donald Trump’s lawyers met with Fulton County prosecutors to discuss voter fraud committed in Georgia as a result of Trump’s pressure campaign.

Speaking about the news, former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal didn't mince words about Georgia doing the work that he thinks the Justice Department is too afraid to do. According to Katyal, "this is a natural precursor to a possible indictment." However, he clarified, "it doesn't mean Donald Trump is going to be indicted by any stretch."

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers met with Fulton County Georgia prosecutors recently in a voter fraud probe involving the Republican leader.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow broke the story Monday evening, and she said that the meeting involved the phone calls that Trump made to the governor and secretary of state demanding that they change the 2020 election results.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) announced that he would be running for a third term, despite taking a term limits pledge. But according to one local Wisconsin reporter, Republicans wish that Johnson would fade away into retirement.

MSNBC host Chris Hayes recalled some of Johnson's greatest hits about the COVID-19 pandemic. While he's pushed bogus treatments like hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, he has also promoted mouth wash as a virus cure. Listerine was then forced to come out debunking Johnson's claim.
