I’m cosponsoring @RepCori's resolution. Any House members who tried to overturn the election and install a dictator violated the Constitution and should not sit in Congress.
Back on December 11th I was the *first* member to demand against seating in Congress anyone supporting insurrection against the government. They are violating Sec 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. ImageImage
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was written after the Civil War to bar from government any traitors who would seek to destroy the Union. It forbids Congressmembers from engaging in insurrection against America.

Trying to overturn an election is a pretty clear example of that. Image
Here are the 138 House republicans who voted to install trump as a dictator hours after murderous terrorists tried to do the same. Image

I just voted to impeach donald trump for inciting insurrection and trying to violently end American democracy.
Donald Trump is dangerous and the greatest internal threat ever to American democracy. Trump sowed insurrection to overthrow our government and he came close to succeeding. Trump engaged in treason.
Trump's atrocities have not abated but accelerated by failure to constrain him. The blood of dead is on his hands. If his actions are not impeachable, then nothing is. And when he is out of office, trump must be prosecuted for his crimes too.

In November, I called for the prosecution of donald trump.

With today's bombshell report of trump's attempted vote-rigging on tape, I want to do a thread highlighting some of his specific crimes and bad acts from A to Z.

What follows is the tip of the iceberg.
Abuse of power. Trump was rightly impeached for high crimes and using his office to help himself politically. nytimes.com/2019/12/18/us/…
Bribery. Trump has pocketed enormous bribes through his hotels. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

With bill barr leaving we can never forget barr’s constitutional crime spree and rampage against the rule of law.

This thread provides some lowlights.

This week I called for the prosecution of donald trump and his government enablers.

Some have asked me to name his specific crimes and bad acts. So I wanted to do a thread highlighting a few of them to show the scope of his disgraces.

What follows is the tip of the iceberg.
Exhibit A: Tax evasion. There is clear evidence of tax evasion by trump, his siblings, and his children, courtesy of exhaustive investigative reporting.
nytimes.com/2020/11/19/nyr…
Exhibit B: Obstruction of justice. Trump openly confessed firing the head of the FBI to stop a criminal probe of his aide Mike Flynn who sold out America.

No surprise then that Americans rank the post office maybe the most popular arm of government. A 2018 Pew poll found 88% of Americans have a positive view of @USPS.

Try to find something else in our government 88% of Americans support.
The post office birthed a 2nd American revolution. USPS precipitated road building & allowed people to fan out across the land. Postal contracts sustained transcontinental 🚂. It was the post that got the govt to invest in aviation & birth commercial ✈️ .
