House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spoken out frequently and strongly against the practice of gerrymandering – a term that refers to elected officials redrawing voting districts in such a way that makes it easier for their parties to win in future elections. But despite Pelosi’s on-the-record condemnation of the practice, she apparently felt no compunction […] More
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stood by helplessly on Saturday as her second attempt to impeach and convict Donald Trump ended in predictable failure with a 57-43 vote in the U.S. Senate. Pelosi, who should have tendered her resignation immediately upon hearing the result of the vote, took to her soapbox instead and accused every […] More
In comments to reporters on Thursday, Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made it clear that Democrats will continue to haunt and pursue former President Donald Trump even if impeachment fails, as it surely will. Knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it will be impossible to convince 67 senators to convict Trump on the […] More
In their zeal to convict Donald Trump for inciting the riot at the Capitol on January 6th, House impeachment managers are carefully avoiding any mention of a very important – and mitigating – line in the speech Trump gave that morning, says Rep.

In remarks about Donald Trump’s upcoming impeachment trial, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that Democrats had better think twice before “opening a can of worms” by calling witnesses to testify against the former president.

In a new op-ed for The Hill, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) argued that if Chief Justice John Roberts does not preside over the Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump, then it is not constitutional. “The Constitution says two things about impeachment — it is a tool to remove the office holder, and it must be […] More
Well, as doubtful as we are that there’s any particular reason for this to happen, we can’t say we’re surprised. When you impeach the Republican president not once but twice for reasons that have little connection to the law, you can’t be surprised when Republicans turn right around and do the same thing to your […] More
In a tweet criticizing a long slate of executive orders signed by President Joe Biden shortly after the inauguration, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said that the new president’s actions would help just about everyone other than Americans struggling in the midst of a pandemic and a slowing economy. “Who this agenda helps,” Crenshaw tweeted. “Paris […] More
It’s not often that we can tip our hat in Sen. Mitt Romney’s direction, so we want to make sure and take the opportunity while it’s here. Ordinarily, we only hear from Romney when he’s joining the Democrats for another round of “Bash Donald Trump.” But, in what’s probably a clearer sign of the left’s […] More
Sen. Angus King of Maine is far from the most left-wing member of the Senate, but his status as an Independent can’t hide the fact that he votes with the Democrats at least 60% of the time according to the latest data.
