Revelations from the January 6th committee and a bipartisan deal to reform the Electoral Count Act, the law former President Donald Trump and his allies sought to exploit.

How did the attack on the U.S. Capitol come together? What did President Trump know and why did he take so long to respond? And who will be held accountable?

Roy Cohn always told clients to fight all charges, countersue when sued and never concede. Trump has followed his formula for half a century, and it has come to matter a great deal to the nation.

President Biden's middle east diplomacy, and the January 6 committee issues new subpoenas as it continues to build a case against former President Donald Trump.

Biden has been faulted for speeches that do not seem to meet the moment or lack the urgency to compel others to follow. His soothing approach to issues that prompt anger has often failed to soothe.

President Biden signs an executive order on abortion access, positive signs for the U.S. economy, and trouble for former President Donald Trump: we review the week in politics.

Although Donald Trump remains an eminence throughout, Mark Leibovich's true subject here is Trump's stable of enablers and the transformation they have wrought on their party and themselves.

In just two short week, the six conservative members of the Supreme Court have dramatically reshaped American jurisprudence. Also, the Jan. 6 committee's next steps.

President Biden is urging voters to elect representatives who support abortion rights in November's election. But it's doubtful the issue will shift the balance of power in Congress.

The most telling testimony against the Republican former president has come from Republicans he appointed or who supported him and voted for him (and, in some cases, say they would do so again).

The Jan. 6 committee hearings are getting a lot of attention, but polls show Americans are essentially evenly split over whether former President Donald Trump should be indicted.

It is said the best medicine for what ails democracy is more democracy. But what does more democracy mean? If it just means more of the kind of politics we have now then it hardly offers a remedy.

50 years on, the authors profess amazement that another president came along willing to jettison whatever conscience he had, and whatever respect for the rule of law, in an effort to stay in office.

The committee investigating the January 6th attack debuts in prime time with damning testimony; the House passes gun legislation; a threat against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The upcoming hearings regarding the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol are reminiscent of another watershed political event: the 1973 Watergate hearings.

Fifty years from now, when Americans look back on the riotous break-in at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, will it have as much impact as memories of the Watergate scandal continue to have today?

Though Congress likely won't pass President Biden's most ambitious gun control proposals, some legislation might still be possible. Also, a second former Trump adviser is indicted.

We take a look at primary results out of Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and look ahead to next week's races, with a focus on Georgia's primaries.

The populist energy within the Republican Party goes by the name the former president gave it: MAGA. And its influence on the 2022 midterms seems destined to track that of the Tea Party surge in 2010.

The question arises: Since when did so much of our politics have to do with religion? And the answer is, since the beginning — and even before.
