Parler says in a legal filing that a representative from Amazon Web Services (AWS) had “repeatedly asked whether the President had joined or would join Parler now that he was blocked by Twitter and Facebook.”In a lawsuit filed against Amazon on Monday, Parler says that the tech giant was “motivated by political animus,” and violated antitrust law when it booted the social media platform from its web hosting service.Amazon claims that it kicked Parler offline because because words on the platform might “incite violence.”In Parler’s latest legal filing against Amazon, the social media platform says that between January 6 and 8, “AWS expressed no concerns with Parler’s content moderation.”

Aides to President-elect Biden say that he will propose another massive pandemic relief bill costing $2 trillion dollars. It will include $2,000 individual checks for taxpayers.Biden will outline more of the plan later on Thursday, but Senate Democrats are also talking seriously about merging pandemic relief with a completely unrelated infrastructure bill. It’s likely the total cost for both measures together will exceed $3 trillion.Moreover, Democrats are discussing ways to use budget reconciliation to pass most of their legislation. This would mean the filibuster would be off the table

The New York Times falsely claimed in a Tuesday piece on the death of Sheldon Adelson that the United States's decision to move its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem "led to unrest across the Middle East."The piece by Jeremy Peters and Shane Goldmacher argues that the recently deceased Jewish billionaire's push for moving the embassy had disastrous consequences. "The Adelsons were among those who helped persuade Mr. Trump to lean into a hard-line pro-Israel stance, which led to his decision in 2017 to relocate the American embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv," the article reads.

Freshman Congresswoman Kat Cammack pitched this damning tweet: (Tweet) One of her followers brought the pitch home.(Tweet) Just when you think the height of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hypocrisy and excess cannot get any higher, she surprises. Pelosi spends 9 months supposedly negotiating a second Stimulus package, “for the American people”, and blamed everyone from Republicans to Big Corporations to President Trump for the failure of not being able to craft a suitable relief package.

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, a usual ally of President Trump, says he will not defend the president in his second impeachment trial impending in the Senate.
Dershowitz circled back on his vow that he would help Trump if he were to face another impeachment, telling the Boston Herald on Thursday, "I am not going to be (involved)."The famed lawyer, who defended Trump in his first impeachment trial, called the second move pushed by House Democrats "political theater" and said, "There really is no room for a lawyer (to get involved)."While Dershowitz said he believes Trump's speech during his Jan. 6 rally was protected by the First Amendment,

MSNBC’s Joy Reid, joined by her colleague Nicolle Wallace, called for the de-Baathification and scouring of the current Republican Party following four years of leadership under President Donald Trump.“I wonder if you have thought through kind of how Republicans begin what someone on my team earlier today called de-Baathification of the Republican Party?” Reid asked Wallace on Wednesday night, likening the GOP to Iraq’s Ba’ath Party and suggesting Republican influence and ideology needs to be eradicated from American society the same way Iraq sought to remove the Ba’ath Party influence from its own politics.

Donald Trump wanted to go to the floor of the House to defend himself as Democrats moved forward with a second impeachment, a report revealed Wednesday – and the president is still considering pardoning himself in his last six days in office.Advisers told The New York Times they had to persuade Trump not to march over to Capitol Hill Wednesday to issue some sort of defense. They claim the president wanted to do the same thing during his first impeachment in December 2019.Instead, aides were able to convince the president to release a pre-recorded five-minute video Wednesday evening condemning last week's violence at the Capitol.

Robert W. Merry of The American Conservative has written a commentary calling on Republicans to hold on to pieces of the Trump legacy while ridding themselves of their “toxic” leader. According to Merry, Trump succeeded in his efforts to change trade policy, keep us out of wars, and protest the Left’s attack on “Western heritage.” But now Republicans must push beyond their disgraced and deeply flawed standard-bearer to remake themselves under new leadership: In order to stay in the game they must do what Trump could not–namely, fashion a political dialectic and a mode of expression that keeps the Trump coalition intact while ousting
