1. We must address whether the members of the @SenateGOP@HouseGOP who have not denounced the "stop the steal" big lie are currently inciting insurrection. Their failure to denounce Trump continues to feed the flames of the Trump insurrection so they must be charged.
2. If they are afraid for their lives because they have joined a criminal conspiracy that they fear will turn on them if they try to leave, they are no more sympathetic than any organized crime member. But they can resign and simply leave the public eye. Find a place to hide.
3. But if they continue to publicly enable Trump's call to attack the US, they are criminally complicit, and the insurrection will not end. They can and must be charged with incitement of insurrection that carries up to 10 years. Even if they get no prison time conviction bars
4. them from public office for life.
There is absolutely no reason that Donald Trump is not in custody. All the people who actively advocated the insurrection on 1/6 including Trump, his adult children, Rudy Giuliani, @RepMoBrooks@MarkMeadows, Michael Flynn, @laurenboebert
5. @RepMTG and the My Pillow Guy should be charged.
After contemplating the @DHSgov domestic terrorism warning, my thought was that it may be necessitated by the fact that DHS may have been advised by DOJ that an indictment has been handed down for some or all of these
6. insurrectionists and they are bracing for their arrests. Trump might save himself by calling the stop the steal a hoax but he won't. He must be charged and held pending trial. Anyone in public office advancing the stop the steal big lie continues to commit this
7. serious felony and must be charged.
There may not be an appetite to charge all members of the House and Senate advancing the insurrection but there is no reason for not charging @tedcruz and @HawleyMO today. As long as they advance the insurrection they remain a clear and
8. present danger to national security and should not be released under any conditions. They should be given the same ability to spew deadly anti-democratic rhetoric in jail that we afford imprisoned members of Daesh or Al-Qaeda.

1. I missed @maddow today and just watched the interview with @jrpsaki. She made a pronouncement in the @StateDept presser 2014 that changed my life. She announced the #YPG#YPJ were not considered listed within #PKK#FTO designation and the next day, I went to war against #ISIS.
2. I knew they would win. But they needed our help then and they need it now. Too many times we have betrayed the #Kurds and it's more than Kurds in the new #Syria in #NES we will betray. #Sunni#Arabs, #Christians & #Ezidi can create #peace with the #Alawi with strong US support
3. the extortion practiced by #Assad will become meaningless. People are tired of ##war and #Turkey-backed #Islamists have got to go. Assad and the Russians can't do it because Assad represents an existential threat to Sunni #Druze, Kurds, Ezidi and #Christian#Syrians.
1. FACT: Donald Trump is the leader of a violent terrorist organization committed to the destruction of the US Constitution and Government. @GOP under McConnel and McCarthy is simply an affiliate of a terrorist organization. Shun all GOP. They are all complicit.
2. The few decent GOP in Congress like @MittRomney@lisamurkowski@RepLizCheney@SenatorCollins must leave the party to become independents or admit they're complicit terrorist affiliates. Nobody gets a pass. The net is about to drop and many GOP in Congress are about to be
3. indicted.
Because branding is everything, they might consider forming the #RealGOP and take back control of their own brand.
Trump will soon be indicted for sedition, inciting insurrection, advocating overthrow, fraud, obstruction, election crimes and the Mann Act.
1. List domestic terrorist groups and then establish who are members and ban them from all firearms possession. Charge anyone selling or giving them guns or ammo and a lifetime ban from NFA licensing. List QAnon, Proud Boys, Boogaloos and all violent group. Disarm them. @NRA
2. We have this statute on the book: 18 U.S. Code § 2386 - "Registration of certain organizations." Give every group 30 days to be in full compliance or then start charging the leaders. Amend the statute to get the member list not just contributors.
3. Make a law to post the members so employers can weed them out of their organizations. They have no right to a job. Any law enforcement or military members should be terminated. #ThisIsNotADrill. You can all thank @mtgreenee and @laurenboebert when your gun lives are destroyed.
1. Want to end #DomesticTerrorism? Amend 18 USC 2333 and allow civil remedies not just for international terrorism, but list the domestic groups or make the elements part of the proof and allow the plaintiff bar to pursue domestic terrorists & affiliates with litigation.
3. Any why has nobody sued Donald Trump and his complicit crew including family for the damage including intentional infliction of emotions distress for 100 million people? Add Charles Koch and all his attorneys and their other affiliated clients if they touched the insurrection.
1. Could be bad news, not only for Donald Trump but IMO also for public officials like the @HawleyMO@tedcruz who, IMO may now be sued for incitement at least for things said off of the floor.
2. "Count III of Plaintiffs’ complaint tracks the language of
§ 525.040(1), alleging that “[i]n directing his supporters to eject peaceful protestors using harmful physical force, Trump intended to create a public disturbance involving an assemblage of five or more persons
3. which by tumultuous and violent conduct created grave danger of damage or injury.”
The Court therefore finds that Plaintiffs have
adequately alleged incitement of five or more persons. . .
2. And though @twitter has section 230 defenses to being sued, @SenateGOP off-the-floor do not. Should the Plaintiff's bar start to punish them for intentional infliction of emotional distress for continuing to advance Trump's insurrection? Is their false speech mail and wire
3. fraud, employed to defraud millions of deluded Trump followers from their money and property to fund these politician's Presidential campaigns that promise to continue the insurrection? Why not just bury complicit @SenateGOP in civil litigation for their role in the attack?
