Last Thursday, Johnson said he would’ve been worried during the January 6 Capitol insurrection if the rioters had been associated with Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa rather than supporters of former President Donald Trump. Speaking of the Trump-supporting insurrectionists, Johnson told conservative podcaster Joe Pagliarulo, “I knew those are people that love this country, that they truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break a law, and so I wasn’t concerned....

Thirteen House Republicans voted with nearly all House Democrats to pass the major bipartisan piece of legislation late on Friday. In August, 19 Republican senators voted in favor of the infrastructure legislation along with all the senators of the Democratic Caucus. But even though the significant investment in the nation’s roads, bridges, public transportation and water systems is much needed, according to engineers, Greene views the bipartisan bill as communism....

In 2017, Watkins used a West Topeka address on one of his voter forms, but in August 2018, he used an address in Southeast Topeka. Then, on three different voter forms in 2019, Watkins listed a Topeka UPS store as his address. It was a location where he had his mail sent. The problem, according to KSNT News, is that the UPS store resides within Topeka’s 8th city council district, where Watkins voted in a November 2019 election, but Watkins himself lives in the Overlook Apartment, an apartment complex in the city’s 9th city council district....

Throughout her speech, Reynolds accused Biden and Democrats of “ignoring the issues facing Americans or making them worse....

Romney was one of seven Republicans who joined all 50 Democrats who voted in favor of convicting the former president during his second Senate impeachment trial. In the lengthy statement, Lee wrote about how breaking from the majority or entirety of the GOP can be both “liberating” and “terrifying,” usually at the same time. Even though the differing votes are “rare,” Lee said that they do occur “from time to time....

Senators are expected to decide Wednesday whether or not to acquit the president on two articles of impeachment. “I cannot vote to convict,” Murkowski told the Senate floor. “The Constitution provides for impeachment but does not demand it in all instances.” “The president’s name is on ballots that have already been cast,” Murkowski continued. “The voters will produce a verdict in nine months and we must trust their judgment.”...

State Senator Doug Mastriano, a Republican, made the remarks January 4 on conservative talk radio program The Eric Metaxas Radio Show. Two days later, he headed to the Capitol to join thousands of other Trump supporters demanding that Congress disregard President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. The crowd rioted and violently breached the building, resulting in five deaths, although Mastriano did not directly take part in the violence himself. “Basically, we’re in this death match with the Democrat Party where we’re playing by all these, you know, Chatham House Rules and what have you,” Mastriano said on the radio show, in a clip first surfaced by Media Matters for America....

As part of his noncampaign, the former VP is returning this week to Capitol Hill for the first time since he left the White House to testify before the House and Senate about global warming. Gore will warn that the problem is accelerating so fast that any solution must be more than incremental. “The danger is they’ll do some small fix that allows them to claim credit without facing up to the problem,” says an adviser who did not want to be on the record seeming to disparage Congress....

But with Love, there’s always more than meets the eye. Yes, she’s been a loud, brash, drunk-and-drugged punk-rock princess, but she’s also intelligent and fearless, with a lacerating wit....

The Batman Arkham series did allow for the iconic crime fighter to wear a collection of different suits, with Arkham Knight granting Batman plenty of new costumes through its DLC and main game. However, with Gotham Knights’ developers firmly stating that there will be no microtransactions in the game, it appears the suits coming to the new title will all be earned through playing, rather than buying DLC. In a previous interview, Gotham Knights Executive Producer Fleur Marty stated that each of the game’s playable characters would receive 11 suit styles at launch....
