NOW: “After witnessing the disturbing, deadly insurrection that took place on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., Simon & Schuster has decided to cancel publication of Senator Josh Hawley's forthcoming book, THE TYRANNY OF BIG TECH.”
“We did not come to this decision lightly. As a publisher it will always be our mission to amplify a variety of voices and viewpoints: at the same time we take seriously our larger public responsibility as citizens & cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became...”

I asked Senator @HawleyMO’s Chief of Staff last night if the senator plan to resign or if anyone in the Senators office has resigned. No response as of yet. I resubmitted my request today.
Hawley fires back:

Statement from @SeattlePD Chief:

CBS News's @60Minutes reports: the call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on January 2nd call was not Pres. Trump's first attempt to influence Georgia's election outcome. Sources tell us last month, Trump himself phoned one of the Georgia Secretary of State's investigators
A person briefed on the call said Mr. Trump told the investigator they would be a "national hero" if they found evidence of fraud. But no evidence had been found by the investigator, and days later Mr. Trump would be similarly rebuffed by Raffensperger.
There will be more about this, Sunday on 60 Minutes.
