    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

    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.
