I'd like to see the 1/6 Select Committee invite former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to read her resignation letter aloud.

Former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao could also explain why she resigned immediately following the Capitol insurrection.
They should also call former Trump Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, who resigned as US envoy to Northern Ireland after 1/6.

Mulvaney explained that other senior officials "are choosing to stay because they're worried the president might put someone worse in."
Former Attorney General Bill Barr accused Trump of "inexcusable" conduct and a "betrayal of his office."

I think the American people would greatly benefit from hearing him explain why in public testimony.
Alyssa Farah served as White House Communications Director. She told CNN that she'd feel safer if Trump resigned immediately following 1/6.

"When the moment called for leadership, he did not do the right thing and lives were lost because of it," she said.

Robert O'Brien was Trump's National Security Advisor on 1/6. That afternoon, he tweeted that Vice President Pence "exhibited courage today as he did at the Capitol on 9/11 as a Congressman."

The select committee should hear him testify to that as well.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reportedly told colleagues that "the crazies have taken over" and that he feared Trump might start a conflict to bolster his argument for keeping power.

The committee should investigate and call him to testify as well.
Douglas MacGregor was a Pentagon senior advisor in the waning days of the Trump Administration.

In May, he wrote in support of a military coup in France to preserve its "sovereign" status and suggested we may need one in the US.

Call him to testify.
The elephant in the room will be Michael Flynn. There's plenty for him to testify on, particularly his advocacy for martial law.

One thing in particular I'd like to see the committee explore is his relationship with this pro-insurrection militia.
Jeffrey Rosen served as Acting Attorney General during much of Trump's attempt to overturn the election.

Emails show him defying requests to investigate various election conspiracy theories.

His testimony will be critical, and today the DOJ gave him authority to testify.

Vance in 2016: “In nominating Trump, Republicans have come full circle: The party of Lincoln has become the party of the white man. And that man has become extremely cynical.”
nationalreview.com/2016/08/race-r…
Vance: “The reality is not that black Americans enjoy special privileges. In fact, the overwhelming weight of the evidence suggests that the opposite is true.”
“Getting whipped into a frenzy on conspiracy websites, or feeling that distant, faceless elites dislike you because of your white skin, doesn’t compare.”

Ashli Babbitt went to Capitol Hill and crawled through broken glass because she wanted Mike Pence to die. @MariaBartiromo calls her a “wonderful woman.” ImageImage
Consider the message this sends to other elected Republicans: not only will Donald Trump glorify the 1/6 lynch mob; so will Fox News. “Ride or die.”
And if they can effectively target Mike Pence for death and suffer no consequences, anything is on the table. You can’t expect the rank-and-file to openly resist this violent agitation. They have families.

Did "GETTR" just straight up copy people's old Twitter feeds? Why do they have posts from 2012?
gettr.com/post/puq4
lmao way to keep these old posts alive
So here's the answer, you can upload your old Twitter content and have it mirrored at the new site.

Dunno if that's allowed under Twitter's TOS but there you go.

Federalist 22 defines "the fundamental maxim of republican government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail"
This section on the failures of the early American Confederation seems particularly relevant to current debates about how much power a minority faction in the US Senate ought to have.
"To give a minority a negative upon the majority (which is always the case where more than a majority is requisite to a decision), is, in its tendency, to subject the sense of the greater number to that of the lesser."
