@HouseGOP

It is undeniable that the brief filed by these 126 @HouseGOP members meet the criteria for expulsion. While it typically requires the votes of 2/3 of the chamber to expel a member, one could argue that these 126 members are conflicted out of voting on their own expulsion.

In this case, while Democrats only control 233 seats, and the GOP controls 196—the 126 members who signed the brief being excluded from the vote would give Democrats more than a 2/3 majority (233 votes for expulsion vs 70 against would be 76%, which is more than 2/3).

@SpeakerPelosi

If I were @SpeakerPelosi, I would absolutely use every ounce of power at my disposal to punish the GOP for their traitorous act of sedition, and make this expulsion happen immediately after the 117th Congress is seated. Unfortunatelyc it is unlikely she will do anything like this

@HouseGOP

Let’s talk about how the 126 @HouseGOP members who signed the treasonous brief to steal the election could actually face consequences in the form of not being seated or otherwise being expelled from Congress (Thread)

Under the U.S. Constitution, Members of Congress may have their services ended prior to the normal expiration of their constitutionally established terms of office by their resignation or death, or by action of the house of Congress in which they belong by way of an “expulsion.”

Article I, Section 5, clause 2, of the Constitution states that a member of Congress may be removed from office before the normal expiration of his or her term by an “expulsion” a formal vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of the members of that body present and voting.

I’m going to share a story about a friend of mine who works in the healthcare industry that I believe will shed some light on why things are so terrible right now with the pandemic. He has given me permission to share this as long as no individuals or companies are named.

My friend works as a technician in a hospital pharmacy that serves as a COVID testing site. Recently, a patient came in saying she desperately needed a test because she was traveling to see her relatives for the holidays. His colleague told her tests can only be scheduled online.

She said she would try to schedule a test but was worried she wouldn’t be able to get one in time. After she left, my friend suggested to his colleague that perhaps she could have advised her against traveling as COVID cases are currently spiking in cities across the country.

Twitter often compels us not to post about certain things out of a fear of legitimizing or dignifying them by giving them attention/oxygen. This is why I have largely ignored “Q-Anon.” But this is a terrorist group that threatens our nation and MUST be called out as such (Thread)

Q-Anon is a conspiracy group whose adherents believe Donald Trump is secretly working to rid the world from a cabal of satanic pedophiles. The absurdity and baselessness of this aside, it’s following has grown & been linked to increasing acts of violence & terrorism since 2018.

The following are domestic terrorist incidents that have been directly linked to Q-Anon members since it rose to prominence in 2018.

1.) June 15th, 2018: Matthew Wright blocks a bridge near the Hoover Dam with an armored vehicle. He later pleads guilty to a terrorism charge.
