The U.S. House Jan. 6 committee has voted to advance criminal contempt charges against former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. In response to the panel’s unanimous vote, Meadows faces a House floor vote, expected Tuesday, on whether to refer him to the Justice Department for criminal charges.

Documents obtained by Judicial Watch show in greater detail than ever before how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded virus-tweaking research, including experiments that enhanced a bat coronavirus, increasing the likelihood of cross-species transmission. The experiments that made that bat coronavirus more infectious to humans occurred at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The records validate Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who journalists and Democrats had mocked for chastising Dr. Anthony Fauci at Senate hearings. Yet a NIH spokesperson claims that Dr. Fauci was “entirely truthful” during his exchanges with Sen. Paul. They argued that Fauci didn’t know about the controversial…

Per Fox News: McConnell, R-Ky., voted for the deal along with fellow members of the Senate Republican leadership team, including Sens.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Twitter Spaces, a new feature on the microblogging website, has fomented hostility towards different groups of people. Spaces lets Twitter users have live audio conversations with other users. The one below, talking about white supremacy, had a member that went on a very racist tirade. Though his account was later suspended, some people’s reactions to his calls for genocide seemed surprisingly nonchalant. Others were disgusted.

By a razor-thin 220-213 vote—and with bipartisan opposition—the House of Representatives passed President Biden’s social spending and climate policy bill. While it still faces daunting obstacles in the evenly divided Senate, today’s development is a big accomplishment for Biden’s Build Back Better agenda. Even so, Democrats can’t afford to lose a single vote in the Senate. Moderate senators Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema could either torpedo the legislation or make significant changes to it. Any changes to the text will send the bill back to the House for reconsideration. SEE ALSO: Manchin Hints at Leaving Democratic Party Despite those nuances,…
The Biden Justice Department is facing criticism from media watchdogs on both sides of the aisle following the FBI’s seemingly outrageous raid on James O’Keefe’s home. First, some background: The FBI conducted multiple controversial raids in early November on residences belonging to individuals affiliated with Project Veritas. Eventually, armed agents arrived at O’Keefe’s apartment with a battering ram. During their raid, officers left the investigative journalist handcuffed and in his underwear. The raids, and their lack of discretion, stemmed from a fringe website’s publication of multiple pages of a diary that reportedly belonged to Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter. Project…
