When you see mention of the House Freedom Caucus and its hardcore conservatives like Meadows, remember their obstructionism:

"U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows helped engineer a federal government shutdown in 2013 in hopes of stopping the Affordable Care Act.."
citizen-times.com/story/news/loc…

Meadows, a Transylvania County Republican who represents most of Western North Carolina, has played an important role in bringing about the current partial shutdown over a border wall with Mexico." (via @asheville)

So. Much. "Freedom." 😠

⬇
The HFC's founding members are Rep. Scott Garrett, Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. John Fleming, Rep. Matt Salmon, Rep. Justin Amash, Rep. Raúl Labrador, Rep. Mick Mulvaney, Rep. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Mark Meadows.

The group, which includes many veterans of the Tea Party movement, was formed in January [2015] with the declared aim of pushing the House GOP leadership rightward on certain fiscal and social issues.

What most distinguishes the Freedom Caucus... has been their willingness to defy [leadership and] band together with like-minded Republicans who threaten to block...any temporary measure to fund the government that didn’t also defund Planned Parenthood" -@DrewDeSilver, PEW

So here we are, with a #TrumpShutdown - a hostile action by an alleged #RussianAsset - supported by obstructionists McConnell (Senate) & Meadows (House).

It speaks to their education levels that they would demand the proving of a negative.
Meadows is directly connected to #CNP & Mulvaney is connected via Heritage

"With the American Health Care Act breathing its last...the vice president pleaded with his fellow tea partiers to reconsider their opposition. When they held their ground, the vice president let loose an uncharacteristic flash of anger...

'I was the Freedom Caucus before the Freedom Caucus existed,' Pence told them, his voice rising, according to multiple people who were in the room. 'Don’t try to tell me this bill isn’t conservative enough.'"

@Pamacious
This administrating DOES NOT CARE about human rights. For Dominionists like Pence, it's part of their ideology not to be concerned about "global warming, over-population and large-scale species loss [as they] are 'unfounded or undue concerns.'"
See or #CNP
They have SHOWN US this over and over again, it's just that it's so unconscionable that, in our relative innocence, we'll do almost anything to avoid believing such a terrible thing.

They've told us who they are by their behaviors, actions, and occasionally truthful words.

Tea Party strategies have been cunning, and after years of Democrats dealing and caving to GOP obstructionists, it's refreshing to see the Democrats finally holding firm.
⬇️
Here are some of the Tea Party tactics that have led to the current crisis and made it imperative that Democrats draw a line in the sand:
⬇️
🔗Organized locally to target members of Congress from grassroots levels, replacing moderate conservatives with hardcore Dominionists and Reconstructionists, like
• Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Mark Meadows, Mark McCarthy, Steve King

President Bolsonaro used his inaugural address to echo his commitment to fulfilling his campaign promises:

'Let’s unite the people, value families, respect Judeo-Christian traditions, fight gender ideologies (and preserve) our values,' he said to a cheering crowd. Bolsonaro acted immediately to begin implementing his agenda upon being sworn into office this week,

Remember this phrase: Reduction In Force (RIF).

Did you know federal employees already furloughed can be laid off ("RIFed") once they have been furloughed for 30 days or 22 work days?

So much great reporting and commentary about how the #shutdown is affecting science within and well beyond federal agencies! A thread (1/many):
EPA has furloughed inspectors who detect illegal levels of contaminants in air and water, @CoralMDavenport reports. Eric Schaeffer of @EnviroInegrity recalls damaging impact of 1995-6 shutdown on inspections & enforcement. nytimes.com/2019/01/09/cli… #ScienceNotShutdown 2/
With FDA surveillance of drugs & pharmacies down to a "bare minimum," workers in agency labs are concerned about slow responses if problems arise, @vyurkevich & @jechristensen report. #ScienceNotShutdown #ScienceShutdown #ShutdownStories

politico.com/story/2018/07/…
2/ The government seized more than 100 recordings from Michael Cohen, which include conversations Cohen had with reporters and others who were discussing matters related to Trump and his businesses.

The Loyal Opposition
@TheLoyalO
House Freedom Caucus members filed Articles of Impeachment against
Deputy AG Rod #Rosenstein ("Mueller's boss") claiming he hasn't been responsive to their demands for documents regarding the #Mueller investigation.

What does it mean & what do we do? 1/5
thehill.com/policy/nationa…
The Articles of Impeachment against Rosenstein have been filed in a parliamentary "end run" around leadership and do not have the support of @SpeakerRyan or @TGowdySC.

No vote is expected anytime soon and it is highly unlikely the House would approve them anyways. 2/5
Since the Articles of Impeachment are almost certain to fail, it is likely they are being filed to give Trump a PRETEXT to fire Rosenstein.

Firing Rosenstein would let Trump replace him with a loyalist who could sharply curtail Mueller's investigation or even fire Mueller. 3/5

I want share the incredible Bio of Congressman @Jim_Jordan. This is the great American Conservative Patriot that the lying Liberals want removed because he is a threat to liberal way of life.
Jordan is a U.S. Representative for Ohio's 4th congressional district, serving since 2007. He is a member of the Republican Party, and a founding member of the Freedom Caucus, the farthest-right grouping within the House Republican Conference.
Master's degree in education from the Ohio State University in Columbus, and in 2001 obtained his J.D. degree from Capital University Law School, also in Columbus.

Freedom Caucus Reps. Mark Meadows (R-NC11) & Jim Jordan (R-OH04) want Jeff Sessions to resign so they can kill Mueller's TrumpRussia investigation.

Presumes a backroom deal w/ Trump.
Rep. Jim Jordan (former Chair of House Freedom Caucus): "Everyone knows this Dossier is garbage."

Everyone except the FBI, Congressional Intel Cmte's, US Intel, FISA judges, Sater, Sergei, RUSSIA, Trump, etc.

First SIGINT portions corroborated Feb17.
1/2.

3Jan18: FusionGPS NYT Op-Ed calls on Senate Judiciary Cmte to release testimony transcripts.

5Jan18: Grassley and Graham refer Steele for criminal probe, citing inconsistent statements—NOT inconsistent claims in Dossier.
