“Now once they were at the Capitol and the attack…happened, he refused to stop it. He instead issued a tweet that without question in my mind endangered the life of his own Vice President.” (p. 33)

Bacon on the administration's rhetoric about Greenland: "This is one of the silliest things I've heard come out of the White House in the last year. It's unacceptable and I hope other Republicans line up behind me and make it clear to the White House that it's wrong."

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi told the truth. On Jan 6, leaders begged Donald Trump for over 3 hours to send the National Guard as lives were in danger. He refused and, to this day, he still lies about it. That lie insults every American.

Today marks 5 years since Trump incited the deadly attack on our Capitol.
Ever since, Trump has tried to downplay January 6, pardoning the rioters who assaulted brave law enforcement officers.
We must continue to defend our democracy and never let this history be erased.

Outrageous—oil executives notified of a military strike before Congress.
And Trump's putting the lives of U.S. servicemembers at risk to help his donors get rich off Venezuela's oil.
It's not about democracy or drugs. It's Iraq all over again, just more openly corrupt.

Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?
Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.
