I could go on.

A reminder of who the 147 Republicans are who voted to overturn the election based on a lie that, just hours earlier, drove a mob of white supremacist Trump fans to storm the Capitol to kill people to stop an election from being certified. huffpost.com/entry/republic…
It's hard to ignore how many GOP lawmakers are proudly celebrating Flag Day today who also voted to overturn the 2020 election based on lies that led to a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Here's another one. Image

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has deleted all three of his tweets from his personal account that mocked and fanned conspiracies about the assassination of Minnesota Democrat state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband.
MORE: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has deleted a series of depraved tweets he posted after a gunman sought out and assassinated a Minnesota Democratic legislator and her husband over the weekend.

But Lee left some other disturbing posts up. huffpost.com/entry/mke-lee-…
Lee told @MattLaslo he deleted his cruel posts, three days later, after talking to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) earlier today.

In the entirety of Biden’s presidency, there was no judicial nominee who endured more partisan ugliness and cruelty than Adeel Mangi.

He was an objectively impressive + qualified pick. He was also Muslim.

So GOPers subjected him to a disgusting monthslong smear campaign. (1/x)
Biden picked Mangi, a veteran civil litigator, for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.

He checked all the boxes for a solid court pick.

Unanimously rated “well qualified” by ABA. Hailed for legal and pro bono work. Endorsements from lots of groups. (2/x)
If Mangi had been confirmed, in addition to all his credentials, he would have been the first Muslim U.S. appeals court judge.

But from the start of Mangi’s nomination process, Republican senators subjected him to deeply offensive, dark attacks. (3/x)

I know there's a lot going on, but I would like to highlight that Mike Johnson slipped language into an otherwise routine House procedural vote yesterday that now blocks Democrats from forcing an investigation into Pete Hegseth’s Signal scandal, through October.
When the House voted yesterday to approve the "rules" for beginning debate on 5 bills, this unrelated provision was tucked into the rule they approved: Image
Translated into normal-person speak, this provision prevents members from being able to force a vote on a "resolution of inquiry," through October.

Dem Rep. Adam Smith filed a resolution of inquiry directing the Trump admin to provide all communications relating to SignalGate.

Holy crap. Here are 91 pages of letters that 14 House Democrats just sent to the nine law firms that have paid off Trump to not attack them.

Lots of Qs aimed at sorting out if they violated federal bribery/anti-fraud/racketeering laws. min.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…
This fresh round of Qs for these firms come after two other Dems, Rep. Jamie Raskin and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, sent their own letters on Tuesday. Their letters were more scathing.

"An illegal shakedown of the legal profession.” huffpost.com/entry/democrat…
The 9 firms paying off Trump to avoid his attacks:

A&O Shearman: $125 million
Kirkland: $125 million
Latham & Watkins: $125 million
Simpson Thacher: $125 million
Cadwalader: $100 million
Milbank: $100 million
Skadden: $100 million
Willkie: $100 million
Paul Weiss: $40 million

Here's the rule the House just passed for taking up its budget resolution -- with a provision preventing any House member from filing a disapproval resolution on Trump's tariffs through Sept. 30.

See #6. They're insulating Trump's tariffs from being canceled by themselves. Image
I know this reads like a bunch of procedural jargon.

In normal speak, what is happening here is the House is getting ready to vote to begin debate on its budget resolution -- and when it does, it is also voting to BAR ITSELF from taking action to stop Trump's tariffs.
Dems seizing on this provision being tucked into the rule for the budget res:

“A vote for this rule is a vote for Trump’s tariffs," says Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.). “Anyone who claims to want to retake congressional authority over trade and tariffs must vote against this rule."

In House Rules Committee hearing, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) rips the GOP for moving forward with the SAVE Act, a bill that makes it harder for eligible voters to register to vote.

"The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill," he says. "That's all it is." Image
McGovern says ~69M women who married + took partner's names don't have a birth certificate matching their legal name.

"Nothing in this bill guarantees they could use marriage licenses ... to prove their ID," he says.
"It's about taking away the right of women to vote, plain and simple," McGovern says of the SAVE Act.
