I previously posted about the massively awesome Dem House Bill 1 - the first thing Dems did on Jan 4, 2021, that includes the Voting Rights Act and a zillion other important things WHAT HAVE THE REPUBS BEEN UP TO?
The FIRST THING Rs did to help the American people is to audit the Fed. Because F the American people, we need more volatility. (And look at that list of a holes).
The second thing - I shit you not - they propose to help the american people is to DEFUND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ABOLISH THE IRS
HR 26 and 27 had bipartisan support, were introduced on Jan 4, brought to the floor on Jan 6 by Nancy Pelosi (in her free time on sedition day) and sent the Senate.
HR 28, dreamed up Rep. Babin, TX, who had plenty of free time not helping his consituents, was - I shit you not - preventing the COVID funding he is voting against from being used on abortions. Because small government.
HR 29 - I couldn't make this up if I tried - is to help struggling americans by defunding the Endowment for the Arts, I mean it's literally called "Defund National Endowment for the Humanities Act of 2021" thanks Andy Biggs.
If you want to look at what these charlatans are up to yourself, you can check it out here congress.gov. If you want me to tell you about it periodically between nonsensical rants about Rosenstein and justice, please follow me here.
Dammit the Dems snuck HB30 in here trying to increase the penalties for trafficking firearms by indicted felons, fugitives from justice, addicts, institutionalized crazies, illegal aliens, dishonorably discharged vets, or those who renounced citizenship. Rs will oppose
OK, I have barely heard of Rep. Andy Biggs, AZ, but everything he does is the dumbest thing yet.
Rep Andy Biggs, respect. Even by your massively low standard this effort to increase racism and suppress the vote is really, really low. Lookin' good, tho, brah
Rep Andy Biggs protecting his constituents from COVID by making sure international polluters can kill endangered species.
Rep Andy Biggs - I SHIT YOU NOT - has thoughts on how to improve NASA's deep space missions. I'm ded. It's over. The win.
I am seriously trying to find any bill that is not the stupidest thing that Andy Biggs can think of I just keeps coming up like this.
MAKE IT STOP I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE
If it means assessing what drugs Rep Andy Biggs is on, I'll allow it.
Ok, it seems like there are more important priorities for America and the world, but daylight savings time does suck.
IRONY ALERT: Rep Buchannon proposed the death penalty for targetting or killing a law enforcement officer on January 4.
Kudos to him for condemning the violence at the capitol. Pathetic that he couldn't vote to impeach.
OK, bottom line. The Republicans have not done one goddamn thing to help US citizens in this time of crisis. They kiss the ring, oppose anything helpful, and propose the dumbest shit imaginable. Disgraceful. Dirk out.

Hearing on Capitol Attack, evidence that attack was planned and coordinated: first wave left before speech was over so LE would not be ready; climbing equipment; explosives; bear mace; radios; hand signals.
CD Chief: I was on the call with the Pentagon - could not believe the tepid response; never said "yes"; Sund was pleading for support; would not deny or grant the request. "I was just stunned at that response."
There is a difference of almost AN HOUR between when Chief Sund says he requested National Guard and when House Sargent at Arms Irvings said that Sund made that request.

Merrick Mthrfxn Garland's opening statement. A reading original documents with Dirk and #DemsDoGood thread. Let's goddamn go. Opening comments for the 2 22 2021 hearing. A THREAD.
Merrick lays it out: he serves no president or anyone else. He serves justice; the people of the United States and, he serves with the people of the Department of Justice.
He is not going to roll over the executive. He will serve his oath to the rule of law.

Gather 'round children. Let me tell you the story of an American hero, smart person and nurse. A thread. And a touch of #DemsDoGood. And maybe a love story.
She is head of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. Let's break that down. The NIH is one of the greatest governmental research orgs to exist on the planet, ever. The CC is its research hospital, where they apply medical science.
The most difficult questions in medicine are about how to research ethically. By definition, you are trying unproven treatments. You have to ask patients to roll the dice WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW if treatment will help. My very good friend - now passed on - was at CC for treatment

“White men represent 73 percent of firearm suicide victims in America.” everytownresearch.org/report/gun-vio…
As a few of you know, I am engaged in finding a way to stop gun crime in the US. I wish there was something that we could do about this too.
This is utterly unecessary and unacceptable and tragic. I thank @MomsDemand for their advocacy.
It should not be so. It need not be so. We need more women in positions of power.

Dear Texas: Did you know the budget for CEO's office ERCOT was $2,100,000+ for salaries and benefits? (and of course there's permanent savings by not hiring the person that was to have earned $53,000 per year - expendable). #TexasBlackout #ERCOT
At least the Corporate Communications team will feasting while it tries to tell you that it didn't let you freeze to death. (Yes that's over $6,000,000 in salaries and benefits).
And I don't know what these other offices do, but it doesn't really seem like the people got their $130,000,000's worth. ercot.com/content/wcm/ke…
