WashPost Touts Development of Algorithm to ‘Prevent Another Jan. 6’
Hysteria proclaiming Jan. 6, 2021, as a MAGA-fueled “insurrection” against “democracy” is strong as ever one year later.

David Brooks: The GOP 'Has Slid Down the Toilet' on Voting Rights
On the last Friday night Week in Politics panel of 2021, the PBS NewsHour once again chose the topic that Democrats want to talk about right now: Voting rules.

As was reported here on Wednesday afternoon, ABC, NBC, and CBS had nothing but gushing praise for former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

CBS Asks if ‘Grown-Up’ Kamala Feels ‘Betrayed’ by Manchin
On Tuesday, CBS Mornings previewed Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan’s exclusive softball sit-down with Vice President Kamala Harris set to air on Sunday.
