Exciting find in this 1858 Brazilian newspaper! This may be my maternal 2nd great-grandfather, Joaquim Borges da Silva Madeira, listed with his siblings!

MacFarlane: Are we to pretend we didn’t watch all that on television on January 6th? Did we not all see what happened at the Capitol? These vacating of convictions, these pardons, are communicating to the American people: do not believe your lying eyes

When Trump couldn’t get Congress to pass the SAVE Act to federalize elections, he just ignored Congress and signed an executive order. Again. And now we are back to the courts with more lawsuits. Again. Non-stop chaos is his brand.

Mona Charen is at the No Kings protest in McLean, VA and spoke to Tyler and Susan about why they showed up: “We have a responsibility for our children and grandchildren”
