You have a sharp eye, Jamie. That Daniel Wilson affidavit link has a rich trove of information. I haven't thought about the Grey Ghost for years. There was a TV series about him in the Fifties but in those early days of the civil rights movement its days were numbered. I had no idea until this morning that Col. John S. Mosby attended the same college from which my maternal grandfather graduated a few decades later.

Hope you have a good Memorial Day weekend.

When the GQP House says, “they did their job”, they are lying. They didn’t say WHICH benefits that Americans rely on to survive they would cut, they just threw out a number that was large enough to pass a bill by ONE vote… and there are more than a few radical right wing bomb throwers that won’t accept anything less.

In the end Biden has no choice but to declare the debt ceiling removed, based on the budget already passed by previous legal action. Let the right wing terrorists sue him, but the world economy won’t crash… and anyone who sues will be stating they want it to crash.

What are the differences between Don and Ron for the future? Don says he would stop giving money to Ukraine, Ron says he would continue. But money from the defense industry won't be enough for him to get the nomination over Trump.

I totally agree there were bad actors on Jan 6. These people should be punished to the full extent of the law. What I see are Republican candidates for President expressing the principals of swift, just and equal punishment under the law.

Jamie, are you saying the legal process involving the Jan 6 protesters has been just and fair to all? Really?
