Yap, yap, yap went Ted Cruz
“Crap, crap, crap” went McCarthy
‘Cause his party continued to LOSE …

🌈 Thank you @RandyRainbow for this lovely little ditty. 🌈
“I want people to understand the significance of January 6… I want people to understand that thousands of rioters came to the Capitol hell-bent on violence and destruction and murder." DC Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone 4/27/21 @donlemon @CNNTonight

“The President* of the United States sending an angry violent mob to disrupt proceedings at the Capitol cannot stand… This is not something we can look past or pretend didn’t happen or move on… We’ve got to make sure this never happens again.” Liz Cheney
Tax that ass. Pass it on. @hasanminhaj @AnandWrites #TaxThatAss

"President* Trump bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters. He should have IMMEDIATELY denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding." Kevin McCarthy, January 13, 2021

Well, Kevin, we remember that U.S. House floor speech:
January 6 was a failed attempt to overthrow American democracy.

By purging Liz Cheney, the Republican Party completed its transformation into a fascist, Authoritarian cult.

OUR DUTY as Americans is to DEFEND DEMOCRACY and #RejectGOPFascism. @MeidasTouch
“I am sure Matt Gaetz is not feeling very comfortable today.”

That evergreen sentence was uttered by Fritz Scheller, lawyer for Joel Greenberg, associate of Matt Gaetz (Q-FL), on April 8, 2021:
“One of the most influential Dark Money groups in Republican circles is WRITING VOTER SUPPRESSION LAWS IN SECRET to make it harder for Black, Brown, and Young people to be able to VOTE.” @AriBerman to @chrislhayes

“Keep pointing this out.” @brooklynmarie
“May is #MentalHealth Awareness Month and thanks to Obamacare there are numerous resources for you to get HELP — and for the sake of our Democracy, I truly HOPE you do.” Tiffany Cross (@TiffanyDCross)

#MentalHealthMatters @CrossConnection #CrossConnection
"You can be in favor or against more government regulation and still have home in the Republican Party… The ONLY thing you cannot be is in FAVOR of VOTING RIGHTS and against #TheBigLie." @marceelias @DeadlineWH

PLEASE FOLLOW @DemocracyDocket for updates.
Our United States leadership struggle is no longer Left versus Right.

Our choice is now DEFEND DEMOCRACY or enable DICTATORSHIP.

To DEFEND DEMOCRACY, reject the radicalized Republican Party.

#DemocracyOrDictatorship #ResignRepublican @MeidasTouch
“We need TWO political parties in this country that are both LIVING IN REALITY and you (Republicans) ain’t one of them!!“ @TimRyan

#TimRyan @RepTimRyan #TimRyanForSenate
If we want this to CHANGE, begin with:

1. Abolish police unions.
2. Abolish law enforcement qualified immunity.
3. Make convicted police officers pay court judgments with their own pensions.

WITHOUT THESE CHANGES, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. #GeorgeFloydRewind
“What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution? …What is wrong with having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?”
Joint Chiefs Chair General Mark Milley
“Guaranteeing the right to vote and ensuring every vote is counted has always been the most patriotic thing we can do… John Lewis said, ‘Freedom is not a state; it is an act.’ …We WILL act… For our democracy, for America itself, we MUST act.” @JoeBiden
Tom Brady: “Not a lot of people think that we could have won. And in fact I think about 40% of the people still don't think we won.”

President Biden: “I understand that.

“My name is @staceyabrams. I live in Georgia… It’s important to me that the Senator supports #S1 the #ForThePeopleAct to protect our freedom to vote. Thank you!”
@fairfightaction #RestoreTheVRA ✨#HotCallSummer🔥

Senators work for us. CALL: 888-453-3211☎️
“They yelled, ‘No, [the Capitol] is our house. President* Trump invited us here. We're here to stop the steal.’ I responded, ‘Well, I voted for Joe Biden. Does my vote not count? Am I nobody?’ That prompted a torrent of racial epithets.”
Officer Harry Dunn
“The indifference shown to my colleagues is DISGRACEFUL! Nothing has prepared me to address those elected members of our government who continue to deny the events of [January 6] and in doing so betray their oath of office.”
Officer Michael Fanone, 7/27/21
“Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are being lauded as courageous heroes. And while I agree with that notion, why? Because they told the truth? Why is telling the truth hard? I guess in this America, it is.”
Officer Dunn to January 6 select committee, 7/27/21
“Our democracy and our vote are under attack. Right now dangerous legislation is being proposed across our country that limits our freedom to vote, cast our ballots, and have our votes counted.”
@staceyabrams @MichelleObama

CALL YOUR SENATORS 888-453-3211
"We've seen a lot in these last 4.5 years of Donald Trump and nothing, in my experience, was more serious than this attempt to overthrow a lawful election, corrupting and weaponizing the Department of Justice. Absolutely horrifying."
@SenBlumenthal @maddow
"The very purpose of this law is to chill people. Not just abortion providers in Texas, but to chill the entire community of people who want to help women right now into second guessing whether they’ll be on the hook."
Dahlia Lithwick @maddow #WHPA #Bounty
“What I believe is unprecedented is for a member of House leadership of either party to be unable to condemn incitement of violence against a member of this body… What is so hard about saying that this is wrong?”
@AOC House speech, November 17, 2021

“Why hasn’t a single Republican member of Congress that was involved with January 6 been subpoenaed?”
Number 4 of 19 shocking unanswered Jan 6 questions

@donwinslow #ShockingUnansweredJan6Questions
“Any communications Mr. Trump has with this committee will be under oath and if he persists in lying then, he will be accountable under laws of this great nation and subject to criminal penalties for every false word he speaks.”
@Liz_Cheney @January6thCmte
Dear @January6thCmte, PLEASE subpoena Donald Trump Jr, Mo Brooks, Ted Cruz, Eric Trump, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Jim Jordan, MTG, Andy Biggs, Kevin McCarthy, Josh Hawley, Jared Kushner, Paul Gosar, Charles A. Flynn, Ivanka… and 45*.
@donwinslow #SubpoenasNow✨
“There's this very large mass of Trump supporters who believe both that Biden is an illegitimate president who stole the office, and that violence is justified.”
@bartongellman to @maddow re: “Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun” (theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…)
“Mark, the President* needs to tell the people in the Capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy.” Laura Ingraham

“…Further evidence of President* Trump’s supreme dereliction of duty during those 187 minutes.” Liz Cheney

“Did Donald Trump — through action or inaction — corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’s official proceedings to count electoral votes?”
Liz Cheney, re: Mark Meadows’s Trump coup attempt PowerPoint


“The committee has firsthand testimony now that [Trump] was sitting in the dining room next to the Oval Office watching the attack on television [and] that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence.” @RepLizCheney✨
“[President* Trump] was in the dining room, gleefully watching on his TV as he often did — ‘look at all of the people fighting for me’ — hitting rewind, watching it again…”
former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham to CNN

“We must decide what kind of nation we [will] be. Are we going to be a nation that accepts political violence as a norm? Are we going to be a nation where we allow partisan election officials to overturn the legally expressed will of the people?” @JoeBiden
“727 insurrectionists arrested… Who else should be jailed for this unsuccessful coup?” @colbertlateshow

“The threat to our democracy is so grave that we must find a way to pass these voting rights bills. Debate them, vote… If that bare minimum is blocked, we have no option but to change the Senate rules, including getting rid of the filibuster.” @JoeBiden
“Our democracy has been declining over the last 5 years. In fact, right after January 6 of last year, our country was classified as an anocracy… The most important thing is for citizens to be aware of the dangers of democratic decline.”
@bfwalter @AC360
“Voting rights: It’s time to be a hero… Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote… We could be heroes. What do you say? Senators, don’t be on the wrong side of history.”


“This is gravest crime we could imagine that a president could commit. If you don’t at least look at this with the closest possible microscope, you are basically saying that a president is completely above the law.”
@gtconway3d @chrislhayes @allinwithchris
“The concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as American voters.”
Mitch McConnell #MitchPlease @MeidasTouch

“[Donald Trump] threatens prosecutors. He uses the same language that he knows caused the January 6th violence. And I think that it tells us that he clearly would do this all again if he were given the chance.”

@Liz_Cheney @January6thCmte #Jan6thCommittee
Question: Will you commit to a peaceful transfer of power after the election? [asked on September 23, 2020]

Donald Trump: “We're gonna have to see what happens...”

“President* Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election… Frankly there is almost no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president.”

@Mike_Pence (on Feb 4, 2022) #LegitimatePoliticalDiscourse?
“If I run and if I win we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.”
Donald Trump dangling pardons for insurrectionists, 1/29/22

“Lincoln said those who embrace sedition and turn backs on the Constitution threaten to ‘destroy the only democracy in existence and prove for all time — to both future Americans and the world — that a government of the people could not survive.’”@tribelaw
“January the 6th: We all were here. We saw what happened. It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent a peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next.”
Mitch McConnell, 2/8/22
“The [economic] data shows that GDP growth rises when Democrats get elected and falls when Republicans do. There are no exceptions.”

“Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet just because there’s a picture with a quote next to it,” said Abraham Lincoln somewhere in the multiverse…

In this thread, we collect colloquialisms commonly misattributed on the Internet. Aphorisms often have their own lives… Image
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

MLK employed this resonant line in a 1958 article and 1964 speech.

American Transcendentalist Theodore Parker first formulated the metaphor about historical progress in an 1853 sermon: quoteinvestigator.com/2012/11/15/arc… Image
“The truth is, everybody is going to hurt you. You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”

Truth is, even though the memorable sentiment resonates because it is replete with compassion and empathy and resilience and grit, Bob Marley never said it: houstonpress.com/news/the-truth… Image

“These Bubba the Love Sponge tapes should be distributed everywhere so every COMPASSIONATE person can hear just how Tucker Carlson REALLY thinks about women.” @JohnFugelsang @StephMillerShow

Re-upping @mmfa audio in light of Matt Gaetz’s TERRIBLE actions:
“Tucker Carlson says he has no recollection of what Matt Gaetz is talking about. Generally Gaetz appears to be saying she was 18 by the time he bought her airline tix and hotel rooms so technically the federal charges fail. Not a great look. Going to get messier.” @harrylitman 🎯
Reminder: Tucker Carlson is a millionaire paid by billionaires.
