We have video of Trump calling on his supporters to storm the Capitol to “take back our country”
We have @GOP members of Congress on tape doing the same
We have the entire insurrection from inside and outside the Capitol on video
#Jan6thWasAnInsurrection
We have tweets and emails from Trump calling on his supporters to attack the Capitol
We have tweets, messages, and video from @GOP members of Congress actively enabling the attack
We have multiple insurrectionists who have pled guilty to participating in this siege
We have sworn testimony from Capitol Police officers that they were violently assaulted, maced, hit with blunt objects & overrun by people who claimed they were “sent by Trump.”
We have an entire political party attempting to whitewash this attack as a “normal tourist visit.”
We have @GOP members of Congress still unwilling to condemn the actions of these individuals or call this what it was: a terrorist insurrection aimed at overthrowing the government and installing Trump as dictator despite losing the election by over 7 million votes.
We have nearly every member of the Trump family on tape calling for the insurrection on January 6th:
#TrumpCrimeFamily
We have cell phone location data literally showing Trump’s rally attendants from the morning of January 6th moving from where he was speaking to the Capitol.
#45TransitionToPrison
We have statements from Trump inciting the insurrection via email, tweet, and video—trying to market it as the “Million MAGA March” to “stop the steal of the 2020 election.”
We have sitting @GOP senators on tape admitting they “led the charge” on the terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6th (cc: @tedcruz, @HawleyMO)
#ExpelTedCruz
#ExpelJoshHawley
We have sitting members of the @HouseGOP who gave “tours of the Capitol” to terrorists in the days leading up to Jan 6th, tweeted support for the insurrection & even tweeted @SpeakerPelosi’s movements during the attack.

#ProsecuteBoebert
We have sitting members of the @HouseGOP bragging about their role in inciting the 1/6 insurrection & that they would do it again despite the loss of 8 lives (including 3 police officers) and hundreds of injuries. (cc: @RepMTG)
#ExpelMarjorieTaylorGreene
.@RepMTG in Dec 2020 saying she just had a “great planning session [with Trump] for our January 6th objection. We aren’t going to let this election be stolen by @JoeBiden and the Democrats. Trump won by a landslide.” Subpoena her. Expel her. Prosecute her.

I’ll explain this again just to get ahead of the MAGA outrage at my “lack of civility/tolerance for people with different political beliefs.” If you voted for Trump, you and I do not have “different political beliefs.” We are at opposite ends of the cosmos in terms of character.
If you voted for Trump, you voted for the nullification of my marriage by your corrupt court of illegitimate religious extremists who we all know isn’t done taking a sledgehammer to our fundamental freedoms and most cherished victories for equality and civil rights.
If you voted for Trump, you voted for mass deportations, which will destroy the nation; crater the economy; tear apart MILLIONS of families. I cannot be friends with someone who supports something so needless, racist, inhumane, unconstitutional, and un-American.
Here’s a Substack piece I wrote last September about how much the Republican Party DESPISES our nation’s military. And no one in the party has more contempt for the members of our armed forces than Donald Trump himself
They don’t refuse to admit it because they believe it’s true. They do it because fascists always try to create a world where there is no truth
So that people say “Well, Democrats and pundits say the election wasn’t stolen. But Republicans say that it was. I guess we can never truly know for sure one way or the other.”
Except THAT’S BULLSHIT. The 2020 election was NOT STOLEN. Trump LOST. And TRUTH MATTERS in a DEMOCRACY
One of the things that Jack Smith revealed in his most recent 165-page filing exposing the lengths that Trump went to to cling to power after losing in 2020 was that Trump said to family members:
“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose an election. What matters is that you fight.”
Since @BillOReilly took it upon himself to claim that @KamalaHarris “may be the most unprepared presidential candidate in history,” let’s take a look at her qualifications. [Spoiler alert: She is among the *most* prepared/qualified candidates in modern U.S. history] (THREAD)
Before her selection as Biden’s vice presidential candidate, Harris was the San Francisco District Attorney, the CA Attorney General, and a U.S. senator. All of these were elected positions to which she made history as the being the first female/mixed race person to hold them.
In the Senate, Harris was a member of the Judiciary, Intelligence and Homeland Security committees, all of which are highly prominent assignments. She served with honor and poise on each of these committees, where she was an articulate and powerful voice for equality and justice.
Vance and Trump have both repeatedly lied about Trump “salvaging/saving the Affordable Care Act.” Vance told this lie at least half a dozen times tonight. So let’s correct the record on Trump and Obamacare (the ACA) right now so there is no more confusion (Thread).
As president, Trump fought relentlessly to repeal the ACA using executive action, legislation and lawsuits. “Trump was not successful in undoing the ACA, but it was not for lack of trying,” said Larry Levitt, executive VP for health policy at KFF, a nonpartisan research group.
“Trump encouraged congressional efforts to repeal and replace the ACA, and then took administrative steps to try to weaken it when the legislative route failed,” he continued.
1. He’s a virulent racist (white supremacist is more accurate)
2. He’s a rapist (of at least 3 women including his first wife, E. Jean Carroll, and a 13 year old girl)
3. He’s a pedophile (who is on Epstein’s flight logs and raped at least one child with him)
4. He’s a traitor (owned by Russia for the last 3 decades; sold state secrets while in office; sides with our enemies)
5. He’s one of the dumbest people alive (he thinks we should nuke hurricanes, inject bleach, science is a hoax, and windmills cause cancer. Unfathomable idiot)
6. He is a malignant narcissistic sociopath with anti-social personality disorder, making him incapable of navigating reality, assessing risks, considering others, empathy, compassion, remorse, accepting responsibility, admitting mistakes, deferring to experts all out of reach,
