Democratic impeachment managers will up the ante on their jaw-dropping presentation from day one of former President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial by showing never-before-seen footage from inside the Capitol insurrection.

On Wednesday morning, PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor was among several journalists to report that day two will feature new, not previously aired video.

National Anthem

Banned for Life

Mulligan?

Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing stiff backlash over a comment he made on Fox News, but did he really say that ex-President Donald Trump deserves a “mulligan” for inciting the Capitol insurrection?

We report, you decide.

Nosedive

Support for the Republican party is tumbling — leading to a sizable favorability gap between the GOP and the Democrats for the first time in nearly a decade.

According to a new poll by Gallup, support for the Republican party has dipped sharply since November — down 6 points overall. And the drop is coming almost exclusively from within. Republicans gave their own party a 90 percent favorability rating in November. But that number is now down to 78 percent.

The result is that, for the first time since the 2013 government shutdown, there is a double digit split in favorability between the two major parties, according to Gallup. Democrats checked in with a 48 percent approval rating in the survey, giving them an 11 point advantage over the GOP. That number represents a high water mark for the Democrats over the past eight years.

Monday was rather significant in the history of Fox News, and not just because CEO Suzanne Scott signed the multi-year agreement to stay on as leader, nabbing today's coveted Green Room Media Winner spot. 

In an earnings call that followed that announcement, Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch offered insights on how he felt Fox News could best return to the ratings dominance that has marked the past two decades.

For some crucial context, one needs to first recognize that while all media outlets have struggled to figure out how best to draw viewers in a post-Trump era, no outlet has been hit harder than Fox News. The month of January was a relative mess for a variety of reasons, from poor ratings to a serious lawsuit.

Lachlan Murdoch’s comments on where the network goes from here —and his specific assessment of the current cable news ecosystem — are very revealing about the future of cable news, and perhaps national political discourse for the coming years.

"Right Up My Rectum"

The lawyer for Jacob Chansley, more commonly known as the “QAnon Shaman,” made a bold offer in an interview when asked to respond to evidence that his client, charged with storming the Capitol building on Jan. 6, is a “leader” of the QAnon movement.

Go ahead, guess.
