Do Not Be Afraid. Do Not Tremble. Do Not Waiver. Do not doubt either the goodness of our people or the possibilities for our future. Do not let small men with tyranny and malice in their heart (@realDonaldTrump) or hypocrites with no core (@VP) make you afraid for our future
or of your countrymen and women. Do not let the fascists, racists and conspiracy theorists make you afraid of your neighbors or the strangers who could be your friend. We should all be grateful that we have been chosen by this rancid and dangerous hour to stand up and fight.
What we do now matters. Our Capitol is occupied by a cabal of small and low men and women who have betrayed all of us, the American experiment, their oaths and basic decency in service of a corrupt and malignant cult of personality that is vandalizing our principles, ideals,
Inheritance, future and fundamental goodness. 200,000 of our country men and women are dead. At least 150,000 of them could be alive but for Trump’s lethal lying and the immoral; supine complicity of his collaborators and enablers. Let us resolve to rise up and strike down
Trumpism. Let us put it down with righteous anger and fury. Let us resolve to never let this happen again. Let us do our duty as American citizens. Let us be conscious that we are called to safe action when we consider the blood, sacrifice and courage of ordinary people who
Stood their ground on a field in Lexington and Gettysburg. The men who stormed the beaches of Normandy and dropped from the skies over France to crush fascism are smiling at our cause. The men and women who taught the world the meaning of the words “human dignity” as they
Protested segregation, absorbed the beatings and marched across the Edmund Pettus bridge are watching and judging us. We are in the right and for the right. We are fighting for the good. Trumpism is UNAMERICAN. It is illiberal, demagogic,dishonest, cruel, corrupt and disgusting
and meeting Washington and Lincoln. Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglas are there. Susan b Anthony is there and so is Elise Wiesel. A great champion of freedom has arrived in heaven. Her work is done. Her burden is now our’s. Let us honor her legacy by doing our duty.
@ProjectLincoln FIGHT, REGISTER, VOTE. I DISSENT are the most American of words. Thank you Madame Justice. May your memory be a blessing. We all know that it is.

“What are the chances that Kevin McCarthy’s current supporters will become exhausted of voting for him as his vote count attrits ballot by ballot by ballot? Answer: extremely high.”
“How many of the 45 freshman Republican members are prepared to sit on the House floor waiting to be sworn in for days, weeks and months? Answer: not many.”
I understand the political point here but I think it’s time to take some extremists off the table forever politically. Trump is on the edge of indictment and charging uphill at DeSantis who may or may not be able to hold the top.
2/ The loony tunes in the Freedom Caucus know they won’t have the votes to elect Jim Jordan. They are just extorting @GOPLeader and his thug lobbyist @JeffMillerCA2TX who threatened the @USChamber and demanded the firing of CEO Suzanne Clark. They want concessions and control.
3/ @GOPLeader will give it to them and set up the conditions for more national vandalism. Kevin McCarthy is utterly unfit to hold a US Constitutional office and be in the line of immediate succession to the Presidency.
@JeffMillerCA2TX is the 2020’s version of Manafort, Davis, Stone and Abramoff in Washington DC. He is protected by the DC access media like a white rhino on an African game preserve. @politico was celebrating him on election eve. This is how it works. Immunity for tips.
2/ @JeffMillerCA2TX was one of Trump’s biggest bundlers and is @GOPLeader best friend. When @GOPLeader’s speaker campaign was collapsing on the eve of the @SpeakerRyan era I was asked to meet @GOPLeader in a Denver hotel to help save his faltering bid. It was too late.
3/ @GOPLeader had a congressional relations problem that couldn’t go away. @JeffMillerCA2TX is McCarthy’s lobbyist thug who routinely tells Members how to vote. It’s an open secret that would have been front page news ten years ago. Today, he’s in business with the people who
Why have you refused to endorse @MikeLeeforUtah. He is a colleague and fellow Republican?
The answer is:
@MittRomney is a man of principle. he knows Lee is unfit because Lee tried to overthrow the US Government. He will not support him. Good.
2/ How did @MittRomney arrive at his current position of neutrality between a seditious US Senator @MikeLeeforUtah and an American Hero and Patriot @EvanMcMullin?
How important is magic letter R to @MittRomney? Would he remain neutral if @HerschelWalker were the R Utah nominee?
3/ Assuming @MittRomney would not remain neutral in a contest between @EvanMcMullin and @HerschelWalker can Mitt explain the difference between Walker and Lee besides all of the abortions? What is it? Literacy? Can we know?
2/ Does Ohio want to elect a weirdo to be in the US Senate? It doesn’t
When a candidate like @JDVance1 is closing his campaign saying @TimRyan is going to steal the children and do sex changes on them it usually means the candidate like @JDVance1 is losing. JD=Fake Charity
3/ I wanted to personally vouch for @TimRyan who knows my kids. I just asked them if they are worried he is going to kidnap them and do sex change surgery on them like @JDVance1 said. They aren’t worried at all. They said @JDVance1 is a weirdo and asked if they would still call
.@MichaelDell. This quote is from a TR speech given in Paris at the Sorbonne. It was titled Citizenship in a Republic. @elonmusk doesn’t measure up. At all.
This is the famous quote from a deep speech. You are applying it in a fortune cookie manner to a current event. Bad take
2/ Elon is in business with the Chinese and Saudi’s to undermine the American way of life. That is who owns this platform. This platform @Twitter can be used for the cause of democracy insurgency aimed at undermining the stability of its assaulters starting with @elonmusk
3/ @twitter isn’t the town square. It’s a cesspool. It is a platform of division and hate. It should be used to undermine the Saudi and Chinese regimes and expose their American agents. The platform is the weakness. The defense of democracy requires toughness and conviction.
