Thread 🧵
1/ Congressman Bill Posey is getting a free pass from @January6thCmte, @TheJusticeDept, and the public in general, but he shouldn't be. His lies about the election, and his attempts to overturn the results are documented at length here.

Enjoy ☕

#OperationAvalanche ImageImage
2/ Bill Posey is the U.S. Representative for all of Brevard County, FL. We are known for being home to the Kennedy Space Center and for having the most capitol rioters. But there's so much more...

thespacecoastrocket.com/brevard-county…
3/ Before Bill Posey was a Congressman, he was a State Senator in Florida, and after the 2000 election debacle here, he was one of the key architects of Florida's election reform laws which opened the state to electronic machine voting.

flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2… Image
4/ After being elected to Congress in 2008, he was one of the chief promoters of the "Birther" conspiracy, which falsely claimed Obama was an illegitimate president because he was born in Kenya. Trump used this conspiracy to launch his political rise.

politico.com/story/2010/04/…
5/ Bill Posey was once named "Legislator of The Year" by the American Legislative Exchange Council(#ALEC), which is a group helping to engineer voter suppression laws across the country.

6/ Also from #BrevardCounty and Bill Posey's district, is lobbyist Mike Haridopolis, the former Florida Senate President who oversaw the severe #Gerrymandering of our state's electoral districts in 2011.

sun-sentinel.com/sfl-mtblog-201…
7/ After lawsuits forced Florida to redraw it's congressional districts in 2015, Bill Posey was able to avoid Florida's constitutionally mandated term limits(despite supporting #TermLimits on the campaign trail) because now he was in a "new" district.

tallahassee.com/story/news/pol…
8/ In 2016, Russia hacked our elections, and Lori Scott, Brevard's Supervisor of Elections claimed erroneously that Brevard's systems "don't connect to the internet". Both VR Systems pollbooks AND ES&S voting equipment connect to the internet.

politico.com/story/2019/06/… ImageImage
9/ ES&S was the target of Russian hackers in 2016, and their record of misleading the public is detailed here by @jennycohn1
link.medium.com/t7hkdKq8Fkb

#ElectionSecurity Image
10/ In 2019, the #MuellerReport and Senate Intel. Committee reports detailed Russian hacking, election interference, and those in Trump's inner circle who were guilty of conspiracy, fraud, obstruction, etc, including Trump, who Mueller refused to exonerate. Bill Posey says: Image
11/ "Even in this hour of extreme partisanship and troubling isolationism, 69 times Posey’s Republican colleagues stepped up to sponsor these(#ElectionSecurity) bills, sending a strong message to Moscow. Posey has not signed on to a single one"

orlandosentinel.com/opinion/guest-…
12/ In the run-up to the 2020 election, Bill Posey went on camera, bragged about flying in Trump's private jet, and condemned "the crooked @FBI people".

See unedited clip here:

#HoldThemAccountable
13/ After Trump lost the popular vote on November 3rd, Bill Posey was EXTREMELY active in helping to advance claims of election fraud. He posts that record on his web page, but I'm going to detail it in case it vanishes...

@January6thCmte
#ElectionFraud
posey.house.gov/news/documents… ImageImageImage
14/ On November 6th Bill Posey wrote a letter to @TheJusticeDept requesting that DOJ investigate election fraud. It was signed by 38 other members of Congress as well.

@January6thCmte
#ElectionFraud
#HoldThemAccountable ImageImageImageImage
15/ On November 12, Bill Posey wrote an op-ed in "The Daily Caller"(🥴) which promoted unfounded claims of fraud in 2020 while writing, "we do know that fraud and allegations of fraud undermine the confidence in our election and of those who are elected."

dailycaller.com/2020/11/12/pos…
16/ On November 13, Bill Posey wrote another letter to @TheJusticeDept, signed by 8 others including Rep. Gaetz and Rep. Gohmert requesting an investigation into fraud, this time singling out #Dominion and claiming that votes were electronically switched.

@January6thCmte ImageImageImage
17/ On November 18th he wrote a letter to the @USPostService, signed by 3 others, including Rep. Gohmert, requesting they investigate allegations of missing ballots and mailing irregularities.

@January6thCmte
@TheJusticeDept Image
18/ On November 20, Bill Posey wrote ANOTHER letter to @TheJusticeDept, but also to @DHSgov @ODNIgov and @USDOS bizarrely claiming that #Venezuela had something to do with #ElectionFraud. This letter was also signed by Rep. Gaetz and Rep. Gosar.

@January6thCmte ImageImageImage
19/ On December 1, Bill Posey sent a letter to @TheJusticeDept AGAIN asking them to investigate election fraud, this time in Georgia where Trump was looking to "find" votes. This letter was signed by him and 30 other members of Congress.

@January6thCmte
#HoldThemAccountable ImageImageImageImage
20/ On December 9th, Bill Posey wrote a letter to the Inspector General of @TheJusticeDept complaining of inaction, specifically referencing Michigan and Georgia, and repeating the unsubstantiated claim of "widespread fraud".

@January6thCmte
@BennieGThompson ImageImage
21/ On December 10th, Bill Posey wrote a letter to the Inspector General of the @CIA reiterating his conspiracy theory about #Dominion, #Venezuela, and election rigging. It is signed by only himself.

@January6thCmte
@TheJusticeDept ImageImageImage
22/ No story in Florida is complete without some weird af side story that may or may not be related.

#Venezuela
#FloridaMan
#BrevardCounty

23/ Allied Security Operations Group "Executive protection, Cyber Security, Cyber Intelligence and Technology Innovation" and "the combined company was reportedly the largest provider of security guards in the U.S. with 140,000 trained officers."

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Un…
24/ On December 15th, Bill Posey wrote a letter to the Inspector General of @EACgov, still pushing the conspiracy theory that #Dominion voting systems were not functioning properly, citing a report from Allied Security Operations Group.

@January6thCmte
@TheJusticeDept ImageImage
25/ Bill Posey was a signatory to the "#Kraken" lawsuit which was rejected by the supreme court, and he voted to decertify the election in Congress AFTER the Capitol had been stormed and looted by Trump supporters.

posey.house.gov/news/documents…
26/ On #January6th after the riots, he gave a speech on the house floor complaining of #ElectionFraud, and he couldn't even do it without mentioning #BubbaWallace.

27/ This all seems extraordinary, except in #BrevardCounty, it is not. Corrupt State Rep. Randy Fine is currently facing a criminal investigation after he made threats to a school board member and others. It's not his first rodeo.

@TheJusticeDept
@FBI
28/ Randy Fine, also a member of ALEC, is a key player in the attempts to terrorize school boards and privatize public education.

@TheJusticeDept
@FBITampa
29/ Randy Fine has been named as Vice Chair to the Florida #Redistricting Committee which should give everyone serious pause.

30/ Our Sheriff is especially notorious for his outspoken support of Donald Trump and numerous appearances on Fox News.

#JusticeForEdwards
#CivilRights
31/ Governor Ron DeSantis was here in #BrevardCounty just last week denouncing the @FBI in a press conference with Sheriff Ivey, State Atty. for the 18th Judicial Circuit Phil Archer, Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, and of course Randy Fine.

32/ Finally, Bill Posey was in congress just the other day using his position as an elected official to try to defend Steve Bannon from a congressional subpoena. He doesn't even have the guts to say "F*CK Joe Biden" so he says #LetsGoBrandon

Thread 🧵
1/ How Trump can still go to jail and not be president: 1) Merchan locks him up, and Hochul does not pardon him. 2) Democrats force a vote in congress to remove Trump's disqualification for office, and then vote against removing it.

#14thAmendment
#LockHimUp Image
2/ In November 2023:

"The court found that, “Petitioners have established that Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 through incitement, and that the First Amendment does not protect Trump’s speech.”

3/ The 14th Amendment is unambiguous: Trump is constitutionally NOT qualified to hold office. Image

#HurricaneMilton did plenty of damage on land, but it's underreported how much TOXIC water pollution every hurricane creates in Florida and floods into the ocean. Sewage, toxic waste, farm runoff, yard chemicals...After 25 years of Republican "rule", our lakes, rivers, estuaries, and nearshore waters are in a state of unmitigated toxic death.

2/ These are 4 threads that cover a lot of it. Great reading for any environmentalist, journalist, candidate or elected official, or just if you like fishing and are wondering wtf is wrong with Florida.

3/ The problem with Florida's waters are myraid. Developments in wetlands where they flood are just the tip of the floating turd. When they flood, household and construction chemicals of every kind are mixed in with all the plastics and debris that get washed into the river. Image

Thread 🧵 1/
James Okeefe claims to have infiltrated the #DNCConvention wearing a disguise where he secretly filmed attendees, and says he is about to "expose" Democrats using the hash tag #DNCExposed. But who is he?

#ProjectVeritas
Image
Image
2/ Many people remember him as the Republican operative who "exposed" A.C.O.R.N. about 15 years ago, when he used a hidden camera and heavily edited video to smear a group of community organizers who were helping people register to vote. He was sued for that, and lost. Image
3/ But why did he target A.C.O.R.N.?

"Obama, in 1992 did some work for Project Vote, an arm of the group, and he frequently told voters during last year's presidential campaign that he understood their concerns because he had worked as a community organizer."

Despite what the press is erroneously saying, Trump was NOT legally eligible to vote in Florida when he cast his ballot the other day, because our state constitution prohibits it. So what happened? Image
2/ Election denier Cord Byrd is Florida's Secretary of State who oversees our elections. He has claimed on Florida's Dept of State website, that because Trump is eligible to vote in NY, that he can vote in Florida. This is false: Image
Image
3/ Florida's Constitution is very specific about who is disqualified from voting. It makes NO EXCEPTION or deference to other states' laws. Article 6, Section 4 👇 Image

1/ James O'Keefe is the creator of #ProjectVeritas, and he has been sued, charged with crimes, and been under a federal investigation for his "journalism". So, right now he's f-ing around with @mcuban
and he's about to find out. Again.

#JimmyQueef

2/ "James Edward O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is an American political activist who...uses deceptively edited videos and information gathering techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups."

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_O%2…
3/ "In 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing #ProjectVeritas's use of spies recruited by #ErikPrince to infiltrate "Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda".

 Short thread🧵
Florida's waterways are so dead and toxic, you can see it from space. If you've never seen how vast and interconnected florida's waterways are, you can't fathom how massive the problem is. It was not like this 25 years ago.

2/ If the midwest is America's bread basket, The Everglades Agricultural Area is it's sugar bowl. Sugar Farming in FL has destroyed hundreds of sq. miles of wetlands and estuaries, and their corruption is only outsized by the amount of subsidies they get.

3/ Phosphate mining is how chemical fertilizer is mass-produced. It involves strip mining, and creating gigantic toxic radioactive waste piles called "gyp stacks". #PineyPoint is a gyp stack. They want to use the waste to build #RadioactiveRoads.
