Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

Ted Cruz sticking to his area of expertise for once.
Hannity: You have Joe and Mika going to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring and suck up to Donald Trump,
Cruz: I’m not even sure they were kissing the ring. I thank they were kissing a little bit lower than that.

"Democracy is fragile, and you can’t know how strong its institutions are until tested. We’ve been tested. And sadly our Congress didn’t unanimously smack down a president who attempted a coup. Instead, his party gave him a pass and rallied right back to his side." www.thebulwark.com/p/its-not-ju...
It’s Not Just the Sex
The real scandal of Trump’s nominees is what they’ll do on the job.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.
Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.
It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.
Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.
