At the sentencing hearings for the five Proud Boys convicted for some of the most serious crimes related to the January 6 insurrection, the crocodile tears were flowing. Perhaps hoping for mercy from the Donald Trump-appointed federal judge, Timothy Kelly, one member of the neo-fascist gang after another claimed to have seen the...
You're free to go ahead and look at all the evidence presented for the proud boys and oath keepers. It's all right there but that would pop your right wing bubble. No idea gets sedition charges for entering a building. And we all watched it live on TV, most people take what happened very seriously.
As part of his Labor Day message to workers in the United States, Sen.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent member of Congress and leading voice of the American left, has called on the US government to issue an apology to Latin American countries for decades of meddling in their affairs and causing instability in the region....
I can fault them. As someone on the left, I dislike not having another choice besides Dems but for real there are far better ways to get the conversation more left than playing spoiler.
The thing about our shit system is you need to have heavy majorities in Congress on top of winning the electoral college if you want to be able to enact any change besides tearing things down. Spoiler candidates handicap that possibility.

Republicans in the battleground states of Michigan and Arizona are paying a high price for their full-throated support of former President Donald Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
There's no room for it to be claimed that 2020 was stolen. There never was, but 3 years later, there's overwhelming evidence it was fair. That hasn't stopped it being a major part of the GOP platform.
