I humbly submit this list of questions for tomorrow’s 1st 1/6 hearing:
Why are Republicans who are on tape calling for the insurrection still members of Congress?
Why is @RepBoebert permitted inside the Capitol when she tweeted out @SpeakerPelosi’s movements during the attack?
Who ripped out the panic buttons in Ayanna Pressley’s and at least 4 other Democratic members of Congress’ offices on Jan 5th?
Why did @LindseyGrahamSC do a complete 180 on Trump after golfing with him?
Why were ANY members of Q-anon permitted to run for Congressional office?
Why is Trump not in prison?
Why did Republicans oppose a bipartisan commission to investigate 1/6 and then scream when @SpeakerPelosi didn’t allow two of their members to be on the select committee?
Why are Republicans still spreading the big lie that lead to the insurrection?
Why is Clarence Thomas still on the Supreme Court after his wife funded over 70 buses of terrorists to the Capitol on 1/6?
Why are members of Congress not calling for Trump’s arrest every single day? He’s a walking national security threat on steroids
Why is there a disqualification clause in the 14th Amendment (section 3 clause 1) that explicitly states that no individual who engages in insurrection against the U.S. government can hold public office if individuals who engage in insurrection can continue to hold public office?
What is the purpose of having members of Congress swear an oath to uphold the Constitution when there is absolutely zero consequences for perjuring that oath?
Why are any members of our party seeking bipartisanship with a party that has become so toxic, dangerous, and radicalized that they are literally inciting or helping actively commit terrorist attacks against the U.S. government?
.@JoeBiden admits the greatest threat to America is from within via domestic terrorism, yet why can’t he state that the Republican Party IS THIS THREAT?
We cannot take meaningful action against an enemy we’re too afraid to even call out.
WHY. IS. TRUMP. NOT. IN. PRISON?
Why was the National Guard not present at the Capitol on Jan 6th despite hundreds of warnings received by the @FBI?
Why was there never any plan to remove Trump from D.C. during the attack?
Why did the Pentagon PREVENT the National Guard from assisting Capitol Police for HOURS?
What does it take for there to be a molecule of accountability for Republican lawbreaking?
What are Democrats prepared to do to ensure that every single individual involved in this attack at every level is brought to justice?
Will a single Republican acknowledge that this attack was incited by Trump & the lies they helped him spread about a “stolen election”?
Will a single one admit that if these terrorists hadn’t been white they would have been killed before getting within 500 yards of the Capitol?
What will Democrats do after showing the nation for the 1000th time what the @GOP has become?
Will they call any of Trump’s accomplices as witnesses?
What will they do when these individuals either ignore subpoenas (felony) or commit perjury on national television (felony)?
Who specifically at the Pentagon told Capitol Police to “stand by” for 5 hours as they were overrun by a terrorist mob invited by a sitting U.S. President?
Who specifically knew about the attack at the @FBI and didn’t allow for ANY precautionary measures to be taken?
Who specifically allowed @RepBoebert to take MAGA terrorists on a reconnaissance tour of the Capitol on January 5th when it was closed for tours?
Where is the footage of her doing this and why has it not led to her removal from Congress/ prosecution?
We can either call out the @GOP for the terrorists they are and hold every member accountable for their actions (expel/indict/prosecute them) or we can just say “this is why you should vote for us even though the @GOP is setting the stage to make your votes irrelevant in 2022.”
We do not negotiate with terrorists
We do not seek “bipartisanship” with them
We do not let them into Congress to obstruct legislation that would save American lives, protect democracy, and potentially save the entire planet #HoldThemAccountable

Just how profoundly insane and breathtakingly dumb is @RepMTG? Let’s start with breaking down this entire absolutely astoundingly INSANE statement re: her being sued by @MeidasTouch and “censorship” (Thread).
“Imagine this,” she begins—as if she’s about to segue into another Q fairytale about Jewish space lasers or lizard people—then proceeds to tell an actual true story about how she got sued by @MeidasTouch, but packs it full of lies, false accusations, and absolute lunacy on crack
.@RepMTG: “Not too long ago, I was sued by a communist PAC for banning them from my page because of the horrible nasty things they were saying to me on my twitter page, and they sued me!”
Just in case you guys were wondering what Trump has been telling his supporters since his embarrassing loss after being the 1st POTUS in history to be impeached twice AND lose the popular vote twice; here you go. He’s learned nothing. He needs to be indicted. #ArrestTrumpNow
Let’s fact check this email.
1.) I am not your friend, Donald. I only subscribe to your emails to monitor what lies you’re feeding your base
2.) No, the left is not radical & I haven’t noticed anyone “admitting you were right” about anything, much less “everything.” You weren’t
3.) COVID is not “The China virus.” This racist scapegoating does nothing but cause hate crimes against Asian-Americans to reach unprecedented levels.
4.) Hydroxychloroquine can work in treating and preventing malaria and treating lupus & arthritis. IT DOES NOT TREAT COVID-19.
To put the 8-month (240 day) sentence for the MAGA terrorist who pleaded guilty to storming the Capitol on January 6th in proper perspective, here’s a list of 23 offenses that have landed people in America LIFE SENTENCES WITH NO POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE (Thread)
1.) Possessing a crack pipe
2.) Possessing a bottle capful of heroine
3.) Having traces of cocaine in pockets of clothing
4.) Possessing 32 grams of marijuana
5.) Passing out multiple grams of LSD
6.) Assisting in the purchase of $10 worth of marijuana
7.) Selling a single crack rock
8.) Having a stash of over-the-counter decongestant pills
9.) Attempting to cash a stolen check
10.) Possessing stolen scrap metal
11.) Siphoning gas from a truck
12.) Possessing stolen wrenches
Let’s talk about the right wing boogeyman “antifa.” It’s right up there with “Marxism,” “Socialism,” and every other buzzword that these people have no understanding of and use solely as a method of fearmongering and scapegoating left-wing groups for their own right-wing violence
First of all, antifa as an organization does not exist. It has absolutely no central structure, hierarchy, or base of operations. It is mereley an ideology shared by individuals who are anti-racism, anti-extremism, and anti-authoritarianism.
Second of all, it’s name literally means “ANTI-FASCIST.” So while these groups might be more likely to confront right wing extremist groups like the proud boys, they’re still the ones who resort to almost exclusively nonviolent methods and are AGAINST hate, bigotry & violence.
.@JoeBiden stated in his SOTU speech that the biggest threat facing America today was from within. He’s right. And he needs to stop mincing words and call out the @GOP for what is is: the party of domestic terrorism, sedition, violence, fascism, bigotry, and the end of democracy.
—He must use every lever at his disposal to pass the FTPA
—He must call out Republicans for betraying their oaths and enabling a sociopathic demogague whose actions killed over half a million Americans
—We march, donate & campaign to keep the house and expand our senate majority
—There is no value nor purpose in seeking bipartisanship with traitors, liars, insurrectionists, racists & conspiracy theorists
—We need grassroots campaigns to combat GOP voter suppression laws in every state
—We need to register every single American who turned 18 since 2020
