Twitter's failure to ban Hamas in its entirety is unacceptable, which is why we're not backing down. My colleagues & I are breaking it down point by point until @Twitter stops providing a platform to Hamas, which uses this US company to perpetuate & promote terror.
.@Twitter says a “violent extremist group” must “identify through their stated purpose, publication, or actions, as an extremist group.”
Hamas has called for the murder of all Jews and considers jihad a legitimate duty of its people.
.@Twitter says “violent extremist groups” must “have engaged in, or currently engage in, violence &/or the promotion of violence as a means to further their cause.”
Hamas promotes Days of Rage resulting in violence & death, uses civilians as shields & incendiary kites/balloons
.@Twitter says "violent extremist groups" must “target civilians in their acts/or promotion of violence.”
Hamas' political bureau addressed Israel as the "Zionist enemy" saying, "the day of your slaughter, extermination, and annihilation has drawn near.”
If @Twitter truly has “no place” for terrorist organizations on its platform, then why does Hamas continue to operate and promote hateful content with the explicit aim of harming innocent civilians? We're going to find out.

While @realDonaldTrump believes the enemy is coronavirus, @SpeakerPelosi believes the enemy is Pres Trump. In order to defeat COVID-19, we must have a clear head & united, common purpose to confront and end this pandemic. #FundPPP
This is the worst time to bury your head in the $23,000 freezer. This isn't "$13 gourmet ice cream time". It's "Congress needs to get back to DC & do its job time"! #FundPPP
There are small businesses all across the nation that will never reopen again through no fault of their own. 1/2 of the US workforce is made up of employees of small businesses. We can ensure they have a job to go back to! We can ensure the US economy rebounds stronger than ever!
At no point of the House impeachment inquiry did Schiff ever subpoena Bolton.
That was Schiff's play call to declare himself ready for trial when he clearly wasn't.
Now, he's complaining in the Senate about the many reasons why he can't prove his case.
That's on him.
When Judge Leon offered an expedited schedule to settle the Exec v Leg branch subpoena issue in Dec/Jan using the Kupperman subpoena, Schiff lost interest, withdrew the subpoena & filed a MOTION TO DISMISS!
He was sprinting to impeachment & fell on his face.
That's on him.
The lies, leaks, witness coaching, lack of fairness, bad motives, and other forms of prosecutorial misconduct by Schiff resulted in a corrupted, rigged process. It's not the Senate's job to fix the mess that Schiff created.
NO sympathy for the Dems. They never even sent a subpoena to Bolton. Judge Leon w/the Kupperman subpoena agreed to an expedited schedule to resolve the Exec vs. Leg subpoena issue in the Dec/Jan time frame. Schiff lost interest, withdrew the subpoena & filed a motion to dismiss.
The Dems proceeded w/ no subpoena to Bolton, bc of a rush to impeach POTUS by xmas & bc they might lose in court, undermining the case for Obstruction. They declared they were ready for trial w/evidence they called overwhelming, uncontested, indisputable & proof beyond a doubt.
Want to open that door? Then it's time for Hunter Biden, the whistleblower & other GOP witnesses Schiff blocked during his Soviet style show trial in the House. Remember that? Mr. "Fairness" was prosecutor, judge, jury & witness coach corruptly rigging this from the get go.
Also, the Clinton impeachment reso was written & passed in a bipartisan manner. This is a stark contrast to yesterday’s “impeachment inquiry” reso dropped 24 hrs before being voted on & the only bipartisan vote it received was AGAINST it.
Perhaps it’s because this new resolution does not ensure:
Minority subpoena power;
Release of the transcripts;
Equal staffing between parties;
Counsel for the President and the ability for them to question witnesses and present evidence.
In fact, all of these decisions are left to Schiff who – under this partisan reso – has the power to veto whatever he wants. He already has the authority to release the transcripts & ensure due process, which he’s not doing. What makes us think he’s going to change going forward?
Adam Schiff says his impeachment inquiry is analogous to a grand jury investigation. Putting aside his cherry picked leaking & outright lying, I’ve never seen a grand jury investigation where the prosecutor was also the judge and the jury.
When/If the transcripts ever get released, check out how he ridiculously leads witnesses. Too bad the stenographer won’t be adding “Schiff makes sad face” to the transcript every time that tactic has backfired on him during these depositions.
Time to bring in the whistleblower and all of his anonymous sources who supposedly have first hand information to share.
I’ve got some questions to ask and holes to shine a bright light into.
