And I think it's based in Carrollton, Texas.

I hope the "sentencing" results in something more substantial than four years of community service.

Trump wants to turn the FBI into something so draconian that the political press many not grasp it until it’s too late. And Republicans are already giving themselves cover to go along with all of it.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.

Judges push back as Trump’s return sparks defiance from Jan. 6 defendants
In multiple sentencings Friday, judges saw firsthand how attentively some Jan. 6 perpetrators heed their reprimands. (Which is to say, not at all.)
