On January 6, a mob of pro-Trump extremists fueled by the former President's lies about the integrity of U.S. elections stormed the United States Capitol, upending the joint congressional session to nationally certify the victory of then-President-elect Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race.

At least five people died as a result of the failed insurrection and the Capitol suffered broken windows, ransacked offices, and excrement smeared across its walls.


Exactly one week later—on January 13—the Democratic-led House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump for a historic second time. With 10 House Republicans voting in favor, it was the most bipartisan impeachment in American history.

As Trump's trial in the Senate commences, the vast majority of Republican lawmakers remain loyal to the former President, with many of them urging Democrats to move on from the unprecedented siege of the Capitol without holding Trump accountable.

Though Trump is no longer in office, a conviction by the Senate would present the option to bar him from holding public office again, snuffing the possibility of a run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is one of the Republican Senators opposed to recognizing the House's impeachment of Trump.

Rubio claimed that the House's impeachment isn't about accountability at all, but rather about "vengeance" against the former President.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)—who voted in favor of the House's impeachment measure—pushed back against Rubio's claim.

The Congresswoman—known colloquially as "AOC"—is a favorite enemy of the right wing for her progressive views, especially regarding her support for an overhaul of current environmental policy and for guaranteed healthcare to all Americans regardless of income. At least one Capitol rioter was arrested after calling for Ocasio-Cortez's assassination.

In addition to supporting the impeachment measure against Trump, the Congresswoman has also called on Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) to resign for their amplification of Trump's election lies on the Senate floor.

People sided with AOC in her terse guidance to Rubio.



Ocasio-Cortez was far from the only one to criticize Rubio's tweet.







On Tuesday, Senators were sworn in as jurors for Trump's impeachment trial after all but five Senate Republicans voted against its consideration.

Kim Kardashian is in hot water online after appearing in a controversial photo shoot for the Tesla Cybertruck amid Elon Musk's unconstitutional takeover of key functions of the U.S. government.

There has perhaps never been a poorer reading of the room. Despite what most Republicans appear to think (Kardashian included it would seem), the Tesla CEO is broadly disliked by the majority of Americans according to recent polling.

Trump Blasted After Military Scrubs WWII Navajo Code Talkers From Websites Due To 'DEI'

The Department of Defense and the U.S. Army have been widely criticized after they removed materials from their websites about the World War II Navajo Code Talkers, who from 1942 to 1945 played a crucial role in every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific, using their unbreakable code to secure communications.

News outlets found that at least 10 articles about the Code Talkers had vanished from the U.S. Army and Department of Defense websites as of Monday. The Defense Department’s URLs had been modified to include the letters "DEI," indicating they may have been removed following President Trump’s executive order dismantling federal diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

MTG Gets Schooled By Holocaust Historian After Unfounded Claim About 'Nazis In Ukraine' In Resurfaced Clip

A resurfaced video from 2024 reminded social media users of the time Yale historian and best-selling author Dr. Timothy Snyder gave Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene a blunt fact-check after she touted the rise of "Nazis in Ukraine" during a recent congressional hearing.

The video is more relevant than ever following a contentious White House meeting last month between President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Vice President J.D. Vance. The meeting turned heated when Vance berated Zelenskyy, leading the Ukrainian president to leave without signing an agreement for U.S. security guarantees in exchange for access to Ukrainian rare earth minerals.
