If NRA & Russia-bought Republicans hadn't lied & cheated to steal elections & SCOTUS seats, Democrats might be in charge. Bills addressing our nightmare gun epidemic would be law & upheld. The nation might be healing today. Instead GOP abandoned any pretense of serving the public
Govt service used to be universally respected as noble & honorable. Then Republicans demonized govt under Reagan. Soon Sarah Palin tea-party idiots were screaming "death panels." Then Russia swooped in to Foxified braindead GOP who now need to destroy America to save their ass.
Now Republicans lead the charge—w/ US enemies!—against honorable American public servants >> Trump's Russia probe lawyer calls Ambassador Taylor "Pitiful, Ignorant, Insubordinate Gossip." John Dowd aided Trump's crime spree in the WH! While our children & future are slaughtered‼️
🔥Pelosi: Courageous public servant (Taylor) corroborated unambiguous evidence of bribery & abuse of power…a clear attempt by Trump to give himself an advantage in the 2020 election. Jeopardizing our national security, integrity of our elections, & violating his oath of office.

When Everything Is Illuminated, it will show #Putin Firtash Parnas Giuliani & #Trump wanted #Yovanovitch gone b/c her success in helping #Ukraine create independent ANTI-#corruption institutions make corrupt gas deals & fake investigations a thing of the past
#Holmes #Impeachment
#Holmes: #Yovanovitch helped #Ukraine achieve hard-fought establishment of independent anti-#corruption court. This strained relations w prosecutor Lutsenko who resisted fully empowering truly indep anti-c institutions that would help ensure nobody was above the law. #Impeachment
🔥Stunning #Holmes, p2: In March 2019, US policy of supporting Ukraine's democratic reform & resistance to Russia "became overshadowed by a political agenda being promoted by Rudy Giuliani and a cadre of officials operating with a direct channel to the White House." #Impeachment

🔥🎯@PeterWelch: No one disputes the president’s power. He can change his position on Ukraine. But one cannot use the public trust of high office for personal gain. He can’t change our foreign policy to assist in his campaign. That’s a line he cannot cross. #ImpeachmentHearings
@PeterWelch @HouseIntel Welch had this great moment, before he brilliantly summarized the crux of impeachment story: Trump abused the public trust by using US policy for his campaign. That it involved election interference again, a vulnerable ally, pleasing Russia—make it egregious. #ImpeachmentHearings
@PeterWelch @HouseIntel Rep @PeterWelch got a lot of attention for his @Jim_Jordan burn. But Welch's entire 5 minutes is worth watching. He distilled the crux of Trump's abuse of public trust & foreign policy for personal political gain better than anyone. #ImpeachmentHearings

Bill Taylor: It is clearly in US national interest to deter Russian aggression & defend freedom in Ukraine, where Russia’s war of aggression has killed 14000 & continues to kill Ukrainians every day…I found alarming Americans running US foreign policy at odds w/US foreign policy
Taylor makes clear the problem w/ Giuliani op wasn’t only interfering in US #Ukraine policy in a way helpful to #Russia & harmful to US. But that the demands were specifically tied to political investigations Trump demanded—Biden & 2016 election. #ImpeachmentHearings #Impeachment
Russia violated all the rules of international law & treaties when it invaded Ukraine. Those kept the peace in Europe & US since WWII. How we respond to Russia re Ukraine affects our national security & will determine the kind of world we, our children will live in. #Impeachment

Then, when more gun rights are taken from you and that doesn’t stop crazy, violent criminals from killing, what will happen? @BetoORourke will come back to up restrictions on #NRA & dealers & gunmakers...why? #CampaignMoney. It’s ALL about staying in power.
If Democrats thought more guns in the streets would garner votes, they’d be creating protected status for gun owners, suppressing the news everytime an insane nitwit went off the deep end and sending @Alyssa_Milano talking points for making gun ownership a “choice.”
But the Democrats are trying to destroy Middle America, castrate the voters who elected @POTUS & cripple any corporation or entity that funds #MAGA. Buy your ammo, stock up on extra firearms, join the NRA & enjoy a Coke from Chick Fil A thru a plastic straw.

So here is a top 20 list of congressional representatives taking the most money in recent years from the gun lobby, according to OpenSecrets.Org.
These are numbers from the 2017-2018 election cycle and while some of these folks are no longer in office (in italics), the damage they’ve done in the name of blood money endures.
Ted Cruz (R-TX) received $309,021, but if you want to go shooting with him you better have a background check. No, seriously.

Martha McSally (R-AZ) and her $227,928, have gotten her through losing elections but we will see where that goes as she will actually have to defend

Wet day here at #SCOTUS where we’ll get orders at 9:30, opinions at 10.
We've had 42 opinions in argued cases so far this term, with 27 (!) remaining.

🔥WHOA🔥

A longtime #NRA attorney reportedly expressed “concerns” about the NRA’s ties w/#Russia🇷🇺and possible involvement in ILLEGALLY funneling Russian money into the 2016 election to help Donald Trump‼️🤬1/

Former NRA board member Cleta Mitchell (also did legal work for them) is one of MANY people whom House Intel Democrats want to interview. Democratic Senate Intel investigators also are interested in what she may know about relationships btwn the NRA and wealthy Russians.🧐 2/
Get this. In addition to being a gun lover (of course🙄), Mitchell is an *election law specialist* and veteran conservative operative.🤨

Meaning: she should know that it’s ILLEGAL for #Russians🇷🇺to donate ANY money that is spent on political campaigns‼️ 3/

The #NRA is a powerful functioning arms industry #lobby masquerading as a 501(c)4 #nonprofit membership organization, claiming to educate the public about the interests of its members. Here’s why we need to stop this lie and strip it of nonprofit status:
If you do the math, with 5 million members x $40 annual dues, the #NRA should have an annual budget of about $200 million dollars as a membership organization.
However, the NRA'S total budget was over $400 million in 2016 because more than half of its budget comes from individual and corporate contributions and selling advertising in publications and events.
