History will forever remember the day of January 6, 2021 as the day a mob of pro-Trump extremists stormed the United States Capitol, fueled by then-President Donald Trump's constant lies about the 2020 election, in a deadly failed insurrection.

The intent of the rioters was to upend the joint session of Congress that nationally certified now-President Joe Biden's victory. In addition to Trump's weeks-long calls for his supporters to come to the Capitol that day, he once again urged them at a rally minutes before the insurrection to march to the Capitol and fight for him.

In addition to this, Trump urged his Republican supporters in the Senate to object to certified electoral votes of swing states that he lost.

Both before and immediately after the deadly riots at the Capitol, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) carried out these requests, objecting to the electoral votes of multiple states.

In the weeks since the riots, he's dismissed the idea that Trump incited the riots and he's urged the country to move on.

But in the 2016 campaign, when Cruz and Trump were among the last standing in a bitter primary for the Republican presidential nomination, Cruz warned far-right pundit Glenn Beck that Trump frequently incited violence.

Watch below.

Cruz said:

"I am very troubled by this. Donald Trump now has a consistent pattern of inciting violence, of Donald and his henchmen pushing for violence."

This is a key component of the House impeachment managers' argument: that, beyond the speech that day, Trump had an established pattern of inciting violence and frequently shrunk at the idea of condemning it.

Cruz will almost certainly vote to acquit Donald Trump of the impeachment charges against him, but not before Twitter puts him through the wringer for his hypocrisy.






After revelations that Cruz is assisting Trump's defense team despite his oath to act as an impartial juror, the Senator is facing widespread rebuke.



The Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump is expected to conclude on Saturday, February 13.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
