it is so important to remember that IN THE MOMENT there was no one who thought jan. 6 was some innocent protest gone awry. everyone recognized it for what it was.
At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

4 years ago Trump incited a deadly riot on our Capitol. He tries to tell you what you saw with your own eyes wasn't real, his associates deleted texts and told lies for him. The fact remains today- Donald Trump is a weak, cowardly traitor to our country.

"Abundance" is a popular policy goal among the center-left, but it really doesn't work for transportation.
Abundant cars and highways are how we got into this mess in the first place.

Can confirm.
74 years ago today, one of the greatest animated shorts ever was released.
The Rabbit of Seville.
If you are of a certain age, chances are Bugs Bunny introduced you to classical music.
