Trump and his sycophants are trying to turn the slain rioter into a martyr—an attempt to obscure their own responsibility for the January 6 insurrection.

The GOP is strategizing how to win back the House through gerrymandering, setting the stage to dispute the 2024 election results if Trump fails to topple Biden.

Fully unmoored from legal reasoning, the justice’s voting rights ruling is cynical and un-American.
