The AR-15 is not a Swiss Army Knife

  John — A federal judge just overturned California’s assault weapons ban. He likened the AR-15 to a “Swiss Army Knife.” And then spread an anti-vax falsehood that “more people have died from the Covid-19 vaccine than mass shootings in California.” This is a direct result of Republica…

Eye-popping GOP fundraising numbers

  John — Here’s the bad news: Republican fundraising is stronger than ever. Radical extremists like Marjorie Taylor Greene are raising millions of dollars online, and the National Republican Congressional Committee has raised over $34 million so far this year — a 70% increase from the…

Trump Postmaster General Louis DeJoy under FBI investigation

  John — Louis DeJoy, the Republican megadonor and Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General, is reportedly under FBI investigation. Color me shocked. Look, we’ve known since last year about DeJoy’s Postal Service sabotage. We’ve known about his multimillion-dollar investment in a compet…

GOP minority rule

  John — 54 yea. 35 nay. The nayes have it. Last week, 35 nay votes was all it took for Senate Republicans to filibuster and kill the bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th attack on the Capitol. In a deadlocked 50-50 Senate, the filibuster requires 60 votes to end debat…
