Sen. Josh Hawley continues to complain to very large audiences about being 'canceled' for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.

"McConnell is already abusing the filibuster to block the constitution of the new majority. Nuking the filibuster is the appropriate response."

The president’s executive actions will have real world effects, but market forces have stolen some of their thunder.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) told numerous lies about a protest outside of his Washington, D.C., residence.

Trump's demand that Georgia's secretary of state magically procure enough votes for him to win could amount to an unpardonable state crime.

"When you stand up and you say that working class families need some help, 'Oh my god, the world is gonna collapse.'"

"Working families need help now. Not next year, now," said Sen. Bernie Sanders.
