Could MAGA get any worse? ?
Horne won’t protect Arizona kids. The Republican candidate for state superintendent, Tom Horne, has received intense public backlash for his association with disgraced former lawmaker David Stringer, who was charged with child sex crimes and has a history of making racist remarks. Horne has gone out of his way to defend Stringer. The half-hearted attempts by his campaign to distance himself are too […]

Trump knew
Trump knew. Of course he did, but new testimony from Tuesday’s January 6th committee public hearings revealed the extent to which Trump knew that the so-called “rally” would turn violent.
