You felt like an unsold rotisserie chicken.And you felt free. Because America is about freedom.
adam Kinzinger is a liberated individual—liberated from his party leadership, liberated from the fear of being beaten in a primary, liberated to speak his mind. The 43-year-old representative was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump for inciting the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

With a golden statue of Donald Trump, Republicans showed the former president remains a political force.
The House turned to work on the COVID-19 relief package Friday—President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, an ambitious response to try to restore the nation’s physical and economic health following a year of pandemic and a year of callous negligence from Donald Trump and Senate Republicans.

John “Bull” Durham announced on Friday afternoon that he is stepping down from his position in the Department of Justice.
