Kevin McCarthy (the other one) and Dana Wynter try to run away from pod people in the 1956 horror classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Getty Image from Allied Artists.
Cowards and liars and frauds, oh my. In a longstanding, wearisome "limbo contest (to) see how low they can go," milksop Republicans are ever more frantically fleeing accountability as the Jan. 6 Committee keeps digging for truths they fear. "Lock her up" fans have fallen silent - but his documents! - on Trump's shredding; insurrection accomplices are furiously dodging, deflecting, evading at every turn; and confronted by a lone reporter, Kevin McCarthy was last seen scuttling away so fast you'd have thought tourists with bear spray seeking some legitimate political discourse were after him.

Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
