What did the @FBI & @DHSgov know, & when?
Why no press conferences from Director Wray? Why isn’t he being called? USCP chief? Sergeants-at-arms?
Were panic buttons removed?

Dear @HouseJudiciary,
There are outstanding questions about January witnesses could help answer.
The evidence submitted from cameras & social media is necessary, but insufficient.
Would you like to listen to people you follow like this?
Do you do it now on @joinClubhouse?
@Kantrowitz@TwitterSpaces@Twitter@joinClubhouse What I like about @TwitterSpaces is that I can listen to it while I use other apps ( @ tweetbot, in this case), just like a conference call in the background. The value is all about the speakers; great interviewers & guests will keep being compelling, but most may be dross.
@Kantrowitz@TwitterSpaces@Twitter@joinClubhouse What I haven’t heard the tech & biz journalists talk about yet is the potential use case for politicians & officials. @TwitterSpaces could create instant town halls for legislators & mayors, or public meetings for regulators — but archiving & accessibility could both be barriers.
What’s wrong @MeetThePress?
Who aired a clip of @GovRonDeSantis saying he’d “seen the stuff Biden is putting out, that he’s going to create these FEMA camps or whatever, & that’s not necessary for Florida” without first telling @NBCNews viewers that’s a conspiratorial falsehood?
The host, @chucktodd, said @POTUS Biden faces a challenges in making Republican governors partners in COVID response, & framed the clip as an example of “some Trump allies who are dismissive of his plans.”
That’s inaccurate: the challenge is Trump & allies will lie & fear-monger
After hosting a show in disinformation, @MeetThePress is still not adjusting its own editorial practices to the alternative reality in which official lies have disinformed people in post-truth America & stopped airing them or officials without inoculating viewers with #FactsFirst
I’ve been looking at who the new @whitehouse accounts follow & have concluded that @TwitterGov has made a hash of how it’s labeling official US government accounts & campaign accounts.
Some are labeled, some are @verified, & some are neither.
Dear @WHCommsDir: please swap out the static photo of @POTUS on the @WhiteHouse homepage linked to nowhere, & put a call to serve there. Maybe link to @USAJOBS & serve.gov & ways Americans can scrub in? Add a blog, & narrate the work. Show us how we can help heal.
Link to “Get Involved” but give people more to do than apply to work or sign up for email: whitehouse.gov/get-involved/
Tap into the federal workforce, & ask them what they would do to serve & heal our country: obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/node/11060
Try epetitions again, but commit to act on them.
Dear @WHCommsDir:
Please 1) Share each statement at @POTUS 2) Share every EO at @WhiteHouse 3) Link to plaintext of every EO/memo wh.gov shared on social media whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/ 4) Add text annotations of every image of text on social media
New @PressSec is about to host a press briefing at 4 PM ET. In keeping with their commitments to transparency, I hope @jrpsaki & staff:
-Tweet stream from @WhiteHouse:
-Fix /live
-Tweet link to transcript & archived video after each one
-Tweet every EO
The Wild West of federal social media needs to come to an end. @AjitPai should not have left service with access to a US government asset that grew in value over time & use it personally. (@AmbNikkiHaley couldn’t!) @FCCChair & Speaker institutional accounts should be like @POTUS.
This is why I have advised journalists for a decade not to put their media organizations in their handles (@-johndoeAP etc) because an employer might argue it’s an asset.
it’s even clearer in .gov with @FCC in the handle; claiming it’s personal now doesn’t pass the smell test.
