Footage from outside the Capitol shows an initial cadre of violent extremists breaking windows and kicking down doors. “It was awful,” Carlson said. “We hate vandalism. We hate assault.” But new video shows hundreds, perhaps…

Lawmakers revived a host of bills this week that would impact the federal workforce, through changes to payments, retirement benefits and more. The Federal Employee Civil Relief Act, for one, would let federal employees and contractors postpone certain types of payments during government shutdowns, or if the government defaults on its debt.

There were T-shirts with Trump as Superman and T-shirts with Trump as…

Don’t worry, Durbin did admit that female athletes “would probably feel very strongly about the issue, if they are field hockey players.” Senator Durbin has…
