On this day in 2021, an army of Pillsbury Dough-fascists attempted to storm the US Capitol and end American democracy. They failed, and more than 1,500 rioters were subsequently charged with crimes related to the insurrection. Then, Donald Trump pardoned them all, because we live in hell!

Minnesota Governor and former Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz abruptly dropped his bid for a third term yesterday, effectively heralding the end of his remarkable political career after weeks of internet hyperfixation on the North Star stateās (years-old) childcare fraud scandal.
āAs I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I canāt give a political campaign my all,ā Walz shared during a press conference in St. Paul.
āEvery minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I canāt spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences.ā
The move can only be viewed as an extraordinary act of selflessness from a politician who was a Trump victory away from the vice presidency last fall.
How did this all come about?
