I mark my twitter beginning with Cassandra Fairbank's decision to sue @TrueFactsStated. The defense of that suit led directly to the formation of @maddogpac and that was one of the craziest rides of my life. @marykerry @erindickins
With an hour to go to the 25th Amendment dictating an ignominious end to Trump's stupid reign, I'm on Cassandra Fairbanks' timeline. I was somewhat surprised she wasn't at the Capitol assaults, but what-do-you-know she figured out she was duped. Credit due, I guess
Among her terribly sad posts is this gem -- noting exactly what sane people knew would happen -- he threw his own supporters under the bus. "Left for Democrats" as he says.
Assange fans are NOT happy

I HAVE QUESTIONS. And we all need answers. What really happened leading up to Jan. 6. A thread.
Sometimes I try to post useful information based on reliable sources. This is not one of those times. We don't know ANYTHING about the events that could have led to the killing of almost everyone in the chain of succession. We need to know.
On Jan 6, 2021, the presidential line of succession was VP Pence, N Pelosi (speaker of the house), Chuck Grassley (President pro Tempore Senate) ... then Pompeo (State), Mnuchin (Treasury). The first three were in the Capitol when it was attacked. The rest are Trump/RU toadies.

The NRA files bankruptcy. Big Deal or Big Nothing? A thread. @SaysDana @CheriJacobus
First let's talk bankruptcy. What is it? You get protection from debts, but you have to tell highly trained federal officials EVERYTHING about your business and convince your creditors that you are being honest. It is a significant hurdle and requires you to reveal A LOT.
And the NRA has A LOT to hide. For instance, it is actually a complete fraud. It raises money from gun loving suckers and funnels MILLIONS to a shady "ad agency" Ackerman McQueen which is the actual thing scamming suckers for profit.

When my paranoia/contrariness spikes, I tend to want to write threads explaining why all of twitter is wrong about @RodRosenstein. This is especially true when @comey says insane shit like Biden should pardon Trump. A thread.
I tag @File411 here, because I respect her views always and forever, and she generally disagrees with my perspective that RR is a straight shooting do gooder that did his best to prosecute Flynn, Manafort, Stone, etc., under insanely adverse circumstances.
@File411 bird-dogged this new DOJ IG report on child separation, which reflects on all ALL DOJ leadership 2017-2020. oig.justice.gov/sites/default/…

It's been a while since I uttered the phrase HOLY SHIT BALLS but at 12:40 Rep Sherrill says she SAW other members of congress giving RECONNAISSANCE tours of the Capitol on Jan 5 TO RIOTERS. amp.northjersey.com/amp/6648386002…
Members of Congress helping rioters overcome House defenses - that would qualify as A MUCH BIGGER SITUATION.
This would give LEGITIMATE concern that a Representative bringing a weapon to the Capitol might be a danger to other government officials. And herself.

Things we need to know:

1) why didn't a single member of the USCP use deadly force?

2) who exactly have the orders that resulted in only 500 of the 2000 USCP officers to be at the Capitol?
3) Who lifted the standard prohibitions against backpacks and flagpoles at the Jan. 6 demonstration?

4) Why has no federal official briefed the press on ANYTHING having to do with attack or aftermath?
5) What warnings were given (or not given) to the USCP re: armed attackers prior to the 6th?

6) What role did the new Trump actors play in the DOD, DHS and DOJ, in the days before the 6th?

It's time to settle this once and for all. What is the best kind of bird. Back up your answer. You too @JarBomb @Northern_Ozbird
I offer two, first the pileated wood pecker, which is bad ass it tears down entire trees with its head and laughs at you while it does.
Second, the Black Vulture, which has an awesomely pirate name and a black leather head. It flies like shit and eats death.
