| ‘I Thought I Was Going to Die’ Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opened up in an Instagram video on Monday night that has been major news on Tuesday.
In it, the congresswoman not only revealed for the first time that she is a sexual assault survivor, she also recounted the harrowing events of January 6 and her own fears for her survival. Rep. Katie Porter, too, shared how she and AOC made it through the day.
She also talked about how members of congress were texting her ahead of the Capitol riot, warning her to watch out and be careful on January 6th.
And AOC laid a brutal marker down on Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley demanding they be resign and calling them a continuing "present danger" to the congress.
"Sit Your Ass Down" Stunning new details have emerged from President Donald Trump’s final days in office, in particular a meeting with competing factions of allies that plunged into a chaotic mix of conspiracy theories and screaming in the White House. Reports in December described the meeting where Trump hosted “Kraken” attorney Sidney Powell and pardoned former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn at the Oval Office. The meeting was then described as a chaotic affair devoted to Trump’s obsession with overturning his 2020 election defeat after numerous attempts had already fallen apart. But Axios has reported excruciating new details on the conversation and how it devolved into a confrontation between the White House’s advisers and the conspiracy theories pitched by Powell, Flynn, and their surrogates.
Overstocked on Over the Top Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne reportedly took the chaos of the outgoing Trump administration to a new level at that meeting, apparently quarreling with the other participants, accusing people of disloyalty, and even claiming he was part of a massive FBI sting operation against Hillary Clinton.

Fox News Wins in Friday Prime Time, PLUS: A Look at the Ratings of the First Two Weeks of Fox’s New Opinion Show RATINGS Mediaite+: The newest opinion hour on the daily Fox News roster, Fox News Primetime, has made some gains in viewership, although it still trails behind MSNBC and CNN in the ratings. Primetime debuted at 7 p.m. on Jan. 18, following a schedule shakeup at the network, with 1.88 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. By the end of its first two weeks, the show was averaging around 1.9 million total viewers, more than its predecessor, The Story with Martha MacCallum, which had around 1.76 million in its final week, and averaged around 1.72 million total viewers in December 2020. Primetime has narrowed the gap in overall viewers relative to CNN and MSNBC, and had more total viewers than timeslot competitor Erin Burnett OutFront on CNN for two days in a row – Jan. 26 and 27 – but the show couldn’t quite beat the competition in the demo on any day in its first two weeks. Fox News Primetime, an opinion show in the vein of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Hannity, and The Ingraham Angle, replaced The Story, which focused more on news than opinion. The Story was moved to 3 p.m. Overall, in the 7 p.m. hour, OutFront continues to have a lock on the demo, while OutFront and MSNBC’s The ReidOut alternate the top spot with total viewers. So far, Brian Kilmeade and Maria Bartiromo have served as Primetime show hosts, and former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is expected to take over temporary hosting duties for the week starting Monday. Although Fox News Primetime might not be winning the 7 p.m. hour, Fox’s actual prime time lineup... [Read the rest from Mediaite+] 6.5.0 |
