πŸ“Œ A thread of threads I don't want to lose.

(Since twitter allows only one pinned tweet.) πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
Mueller Report Volume II - the condensed version with pictures.

Junkyard Dog Lawyers πŸ•βš–οΈ:

Paul Manafort and Sean Hannity texting revelations.

Mueller's team was zeroing in on Jared Kushner's role in the Russia conspiracy.

Then Manafort lied to protect him.

A Fox News executive was communicating with Russian intelligence during the 2016 presidential election.

Theory: The first law firm Manafort hired in 2017, WilmerHale, dumped him when he tried to pay them using money laundered through a Trump Super PAC.

Don't entertain the trolls who tell you Trump didn't break the law. Let them work their way through this.

Just like Trump's life, all paths lead to Obstruction.

What people keep getting wrong about January 6th is that the insurrection WASN'T only about a mob attacking the Capitol.

Jan-6 was just the Hail Mary after a long series of illegal actions - by Trump and many others - intended to overthrow the United States government

1/5
The insurrection was Lindsey Graham asking the Georgia SoS to illegally throw the state to Trump - IN ORDER TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.

The insurrection was Trump, Giuiliani et al attempting to overturn results in swing states - IN ORDER TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.
2/5
The insurrection was Fox News telling its viewers dozens and dozens of times that the election was stolen - WITH AN AIM OF OVERTHROWING THE GOVERNMENT.

The insurrection was Trump calling Michigan election officials to the Oval Office - IN ORDER TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.

Manchin and Sinema must make a choice.

1. Protect the votes of American minorities.
OR
2. Protect the votes of the Senate minority party.

The GOP has 100+ bills to strip voting rights.
Dems have bills that will restore them.

To pass Dems bill, we need to nuke the filibuster.
Manchin (1/25/21): "If I haven’t said it very plain... I want to basically say it for you. That I will not vote in this Congress, that’s two years, right? I will not vote" to change the filibuster.
Sinema (2/12/21): "I want to restore the 60-vote threshold for all elements of the Senate's work."

We should be protesting outside their offices non-stop.

Would you be willing to switch from your current cable provider to @YouTubeTV or another streaming service if it took Fox News out of its basic package, only including it as an optional add-on?
Fox played a major role in inspiring the 1/6 MAGA capitol insurrection.

"In the two weeks after Fox News called the election for Biden, the network’s hosts and guests cast doubt on the results at least 774 times."

Must-read piece here by @ErikWemple. πŸ”½

We should call on @Youtubetv, @hulu, @GetSpectrum, @Uverse and other cable and streaming services to stop the injection of poison into our democracy. Allow Americans to choose to exclude Fox from their service.

It is a provable fact that Fox News disinformation was a major contributing factor to the insurrection of Jan 6.

Congress should immediately draft legislation holding media companies responsible for deliberate lies.

This is probably their last chance to do so with a D majority.
A Truth Matters act could force companies like Fox News to retract misinformation in a meaningful way - or else lose their broadcast license.

This would *not* be like the Fairness Doctrine.

For example it wouldn't require Maddow to spend half her time promoting R politics.
A Truth Matters act would be simply about promoting truth and refuting lies.

Lies should not be piped into tens of millions of homes.

Most Americans are not equipped to filter it.

❗️ Ali Alexander, a RW activist, says it was he and 3 congressmen who created the plot to interrupt Congress's certification of Biden's win:πŸ”½

- Mo Brooks
- Paul Gosar
- Andy Biggs

washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01…
He had said in a Periscope video: "We four schemed up of putting maximum pressure on Congress while they were voting."
He has since been suspended from Twitter, but Gosar tagged him in several tweets (his twitter handle was @ali) ImageImage

612 hours.

36,720 minutes.

2.2 million seconds.
Another way of thinking about the time left until #PresidentBiden:

4 years = 48 months.
1 day = 48 half hours.

Therefore, each month is like a half hour.

If Trump's presidency was a single day that started at midnight, it would be about 11:35 pm right now.
Taking it a step further:

One month = ~30 days.
Half hour = 30 minutes.

Each day brings us one minute closer to midnight
