@RepZoeLofgren has provided a roadmap to remove the Members of Congress involved in sedition and insurrection via the 14th amendment. This is holding people accountable for their actions people like Mo Brooks, Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar. So what is happening? 1/5
Mo Brooks is now running for the Senate in Alabama and he just received the endorsement of the twice impeached, yet to be indicted former president.
This is what happens when we fail to hold officials to account for their misdeeds. We can no longer allow these scheming sedition weasels to fail up. The 14th amendment must be invoked.
Because if they are not held accountable, they will do more damage. And there will always be those to aid and comfort them. Like when Women for America First gaslights women by hosting Matt Gaetz. Which leads to things like this👇🏻
And now we’re hearing about preemptive pardon requests for members of Congress? Women for America First, Tea Party, Disinfo, Insurrection.

This is the story folks.

This is a thread that sat in the drafts for over a month. I wanted the Cuomo allegations to play out as the majority of this is speculation based on coincidences. But with Lee Zeldin now announcing he is running for Governor, this is a string that needs pulling. 🧵👇🏻
I usually add the reporters to these threads at the end but this time, you’re up first. 4 events. All need review.
1. Storming the SCIF
2. Camp David Meeting
3. Insurrection
4. Zeldin Governor run


@maddow @JoyAnnReid @ScottMStedman @nancylevine
In May of 2020, there was a gathering at Camp David. Invited to that meeting were Matt Gaetz, Mark Meadows, Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Lee Zeldin, Dan Crenshaw and Elise Stefanik. See for yourself here. politico.com/newsletters/pl…

A fascinating development in the Derek Chauvin Trial in death of George Floyd today. It has to do with the passenger of the car George Floyd was first pulled from an invocation of his 5th amendment right to not self incriminate. A wee thread on justice.
I won’t name the passenger in the car because the judge has not yet decided on their testimony, so I will refer to them as George Floyd’s friend, or the friend etc. On one of the police’s body worn cameras, you can see a man sitting in the passenger seat of Floyd’s car.
This man has been subpoenaed to testify by the defense and the prosecutor. Both sides want to hear what he has to say. And both for very different reasons. Remember, one side is the state and the state can bring charges.

Three months ago today, there was an Insurrection. A siege upon our Capitol Building. An attack on America, by our own elected officials. Sedition. They sit on judiciary, intelligence, homeland security committees. Remember what happened, don’t let them rewrite the history.
Remember who produced the Pre-Insurrection Rally and who participated. Ask who funded it.
And we should also ask how it was funded.

Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on Gun violence. With the smell of gun powder still wafting in the air over spas in Atlanta and the produce section of a grocery store, watch the hearing to see which senators protect people and which protect the guns.🧵👇🏻
Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) gavels us in.

Announced last week, judiciary would have a hearing on gun violence, that same day a string of shootings occurred in Atlanta. 8 dead. Last night preparing, another shooting in Boulder. 10 dead. Including an officer.
We have a pandemic called coronavirus, another epidemic called ‘guns’. 29 mass shootings occurred this month. Moments of silence need moments of action. Real caring. We are senate leaders, what are we doing other than reflecting and praying?

There’s a Senate Judiciary hearing today to discuss gun violence. One would think it’s just good timing that they happened to have a hearing scheduled about gun violence as we have had 2 mass shootings in the last week. It’s not a coincidence. These shootings occur too often.👇🏻
And they are paid for. These shootings have become a business. Each time one occurs, the NRA tries to cash in. It used to be they would offer some hollow thoughts and prayers to go along with their hollow points, but now they fund raise. And now, so do elected officials.
You may remember Lauren Boebert from such gun discussions as her first trip to the well of the House floor where she ‘joked’ she wasn’t going to challenge anyone to a duel and then proceeded to incite insurrection.

On March 11, 2021, the House of Representatives sent House Resolution 1 to the Senate. You may have heard of it as HR1 but do you really know what is in the Bill? Let’s take a deep dive into it and see shall we...🧵👇🏻
TLDR: #HR1FixesThat

congress.gov/bill/117th-con…
You’ve heard HR1 described as ‘absolutely devastating to Republicans.’ Why? It is because all the tricks used to win elections by voter suppression, dark money, disinformation and foreign influence are all exposed.
This is HR1: An Act to expand Americans’ access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti-corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy, and for other purposes.
