President Biden rips Republicans for wasting time and spreading lies after party-line vote to authorize sham impeachment inquiry
The Republican-controlled chamber predictably voted 221-212 along party lines to approve the nakedly political probe, which is ostensibly examining whether President Biden improperly benefited from his 53-year-old son Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, hours after the younger Biden refused a call to testify behind closed doors. As MAGA goons in the GOP have already admitted out loud, the proceedings are nothing more than a political hit job designed to give Donald Tump "a little bit of ammo" in his quest to return to power. President Biden is having none of it, stating, "I wake up every day focused on the issues facing the American people — real issues that impact their lives, and the strength and security of our country and the world. Unfortunately, House Republicans are not joining me. Instead of doing anything to help make Americans' lives better, they are focused on attacking me with lies."

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Newsmax calls out Republicans' Biden impeachment: "a joke"
Newsmax, we repeat Newsmax — basically state TV for Donald Trump and the GOP — is being forced to question the merits of House Republicans' bullshit impeachment crusade against President Biden, which, for the record, is precisely what talking head Rob Finnerty called it: a joke.

GOP millionaires swarm crucial battleground Senate race
Tammy Baldwin for Senate: A new report shows that TWO GOP millionaires are plotting a run for Senator Tammy Baldwin’s seat. Both of these men are capable of pouring millions upon millions of dollars from their own fortunes into the race — and you know that McConnell’s dark-money network is set to pour in millions more to replace Senator Baldwin with a right-wing extremist. Will you chip in to help re-elect Senator Baldwin and protect our Senate majority?
Federal judge puts Trump’s 2020 election interference case on hold
The serially indicted, disgraced ex-president's 2020 election interference case in Washington, DC, will be temporarily put on hold while the 77-year-old con man further pursues his preposterous claims that he is immune from any and all prosecution because he used to be president, Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled Wednesday. Special counsel Jack Smith has asked the Supreme Court to expedite Trump's meritless immunity claims in an effort to keep the March 4 trial date on track, prompting Chutkan's latest ruling. Time and a radical, right-wing stacked high court will tell.

Dow hits a record after the Fed signals rate cuts in 2024
Bidenomics, amirite? Can't wait to hear how Republicans spin the roaring economy as a loss for the president and the Democratic Party's policies. Kidding. We can totally wait.

Georgia poll worker says Rudy Giuliani's election lies led to lynching threats
Ruby Freeman, one of two Georgia poll workers who sued Trump's former hatchet man for repeatedly defaming them after the 2020 election, recounted a slew of horrifying emails in federal court Wednesday, including numerous instances where election deniers explicitly threatened to lynch her. Is this what they mean when they say "Make America Great Again?"
Vivek Ramaswamy doubles down on absurd Jan. 6 conspiracy theories
Future former presidential also-ran Vivek Ramaswamy stood by last week's preposterous debate remarks that "Jan. 6 now does look like an inside job" during a CNN town hall yesterday, presenting himself as a guy just asking questions about the "deep state," bro. Not sure how many times we'll have to go over this, but, again, Trump's failed insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 WAS an inside job — perpetrated in plain sight by Donald Trump, from the White House and also on live TV, with willing and able assistance from a gaggle of MAGA goons both inside and outside of government, including dozens of Republican members of Congress who subsequently tried to halt certification of Biden's victory. Vivek can spin his stupid tales all he wants, but the tapes don't lie.

Kamala Harris pushes White House to be more sympathetic toward Palestinians
Vice President Kamala Harris has been telling colleagues in the administration that she wants the White House to show more concern for the humanitarian damage in Gaza, where Israel is locked in a bloody battle with Hamas. This shouldn't be a difficult or controversial position to take. The United States can stand by Israel's right to exist and defend itself while at the same time demand that Palestinians be protected from Prime Minister Netanyahu's indiscriminate, blanket bombing campaigns, which have killed more than 10,000 civilians. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Hunter Biden goes on attack against GOP, believing it helps president, to the chagrin of some in the White House
After mostly lying low for years, Hunter Biden — ignoring the wishes of some White House aides — is going on the attack in the belief that it will help President Biden in the long run, according to people familiar with his team's thinking. Hunter said Republicans "have weaponized my dad's love for me, and turned his greatest strengths — his compassion, his empathy, his authenticity — into evidence of corrupt complicity. They've made it really hard for people to square that circle, which is why the Trump cult is obsessed with me." He's got a point.
