Right wing thugs intimidated and threatened journalist @_Brian_ICT - for trying to cover their unlawful assembly at the Capitol in Salem, Oregon today.
They tried to storm the Capitol with pistols and rifles in protest of COVID-19 restrictions.
This guy seems nice.
Just before their violent physical assaults on journalists, the right wing extremists literally tried to kick in the door of the Oregon State Capitol in Salem.
Many thanks to the journalists like @MrOlmos who are always there to cover these events, despite the danger they face.

We've zeroed in on a batch of House races that are mission-critical - not just for our efforts in 2020, but for 2022. Now is the moment to invest in these campaigns.
There are a lot of toss-up House races this cycle (almost 30) - both GOP-held and Dem-held seats.
Obviously it is critical that we hold the House. Odds are we will. But the *margin* by which we hold the House will be very consequential for our broader agenda. /2
Think ahead to 2022.
Let's assume we're successful this cycle and attain a blue trifecta in the House, Senate & WH. History tells us that we'll be due for huge losses in the House in 2022.
That can't happen. There's too much damage. We need 4 years of complete control.

That can't happen if we want to push forward our agenda. We need four years.
