I thought I had almost lost my ability to be shocked by this administration. But the new official White House website about January 6, filled with nothing but proven lies and Trump propaganda, is just unbelievable.

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Five years later, January 6 still matters. Not just because of what happened—but because of what happens if we decide we’ve already heard enough.

January 6 Is Five Years Behind Us. The Threat It Exposed Is Not.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

The US military exerts control
over Senator Kelly &
5 other veteran members
of Congress, to silence
civilian oversight of
our military.
For 250 years, it has been
the other way around.
Our representatives shouldn't
be taking orders, & reprimands
from misguided military officers.

Zelensky issued a clear and urgent appeal to Ukraine’s international partners, stressing that continued and reliable support is not just a matter of politics, but a matter of survival.
“Over 1,070 guided bombs, nearly 1,000 attack drones, and six missiles launched by Russia in just the past week.
