Saks Fifth Avenue Shows Off Its 2020 Window And Holiday Light Show

A coalition of more than 40 progressive groups—Just Democracy—is ramping up the pressure on Majority Leader Chuck Schumer by running a digital billboard in New York's Times Square—the heart of Schumer's district—urging him to end the Senate filibuster. The filibuster rule requires most legislation to reach 60 votes to pass in the Senate. The coalition—made up of over 40 grassroots civil rights and social justice groups from around the country—created and paid for the week-long billboard starting Monday. Just Democracy tweeted Sunday that the billboard was previewed on NBC's "Meet the Press" earlier in the day: .@MeetThePress unveiled our new billboard to @SenatorDurbin.

Get out the Democratic vote, Ohio. Rob Portman is done with the hyper-partisanship in the US Senate and has decided to retire at the age of 65. Which is when the rest of us would LIKE to retire. It's just adorable that Portman cited 'partisan gridlock' as a reason why he is departing.

Thanks for the quid pro quo, SCOTUS. Trump gets away with emoluments and gets to keep the money. Nice to know you're that corrupt. Pete Williams explained the law to Hallie Jackson:read more

On Sunday, Rand Paul won most of the attention of the day when he went full "both siderist" regarding Trump's big lie on "election fraud." Joe Biden won the 2020 election in a free and fair contest. Trump's lawyers lost in court scores of times. But Rand Paul argued that since the majority of Republicans still "believe" Donald Trump's lies, that makes those lies worthy of consideration.

On ABC's This Week, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie blasted Senator Rand Paul as a liar for refusing to admit that the 2020 presidential election was a free and fair win for Joe Biden. Earlier on the show, George Stephanopoulos got into a heated argument with Paul, as the Senator veered off into crazy town, refused to answer his questions, and played the bullied conservative. It was an outrageous exchange that demonstrated a lack of integrity and honesty. During the round table discussion, Stephanopoulos asked Christie to comment on Rand Paul's ridiculous antics and Christie, a good friend to Trump, did not hold back. But this election was not stolen.

As Barack Obama's inauguration kicked off on Jan. 20, 2009, LGBTQ Americans across the country watched with mixed emotions while evangelical pastor Rick Warren delivered the invocation. Though the vast majority of them had voted for Obama, Warren had urged members of his California-based megachurch to vote in favor of a ballot measure stripping marriage rights from same-sex couples; indeed, Proposition 8 narrowly passed on the same night Obama was elevated to the highest office in the land.
