    Quote for the Week: “We all look like domestic terrorists now.” – Hope Hicks, top aide to former President Trump, raging after the failed January 6 coup

    BIG CUP: THE WEEK’S TOP STORIES

    First the good news: It’s 2023! Democracy did not read its own obituary in the year gone by. America moved into its post-pandemic phase, and the DOJ has a 99.8 percent conviction rate against the Capitol rioters.

    Mitch McConnell proved the undead are among us by becoming the longest-serving party leader in Senate history, and a suspect was arrested in the horrific murders of four University of Idaho students.
