On Jan 5, Steve Bannon said that “‘we put calls out last night trying to put bail up’ 4 the leader of the Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio…Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola was among the first of the insurrectionists to break into the Capitol by smashing a window…” 1/ mediamatters.org/steve-bannon/l…
“Bannon also celebrated that eight Republican representatives from PA would object to certification of the election, claiming they ‘just needed a nudge from the War Room posse’ to take this position.” (Told ya Bannon is all over PA. See Preate family.) 2/
Bannon “bragged that ‘after hours we’re on skyping’ and making calls to ‘patriot groups’ in Pennsylvania…” [Which “patriot groups”???] 3/
“Bannon told his audience: ‘It’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen, OK. It’s going to be quite extraordinarily different. And all I can say is strap in, the War Room posse. You have made this happen, and tomorrow it’s game day.’” 4/
Bannon “warned of a constitutional crisis that’s “about to go up, I think, five orders of magnitude tomorrow.”
Bannon claimed, ‘We’re going to go through a couple of three very turbulent 24-hour periods.’” 5/
“On January 4, Bannon suggested he participated in a conference call that took place two days earlier with state legislators during which Trump joined to give an address alleging massive voter fraud in the 2020 election.” 6/
“Bannon proclaimed that ‘in the fog of war’ you need to “to have clarity that January 6 was going to be the day -- or one of these days and you had converge everything down to January 6.’ He warned that ‘starting tomorrow, it is going to be wild.’” 7/
Pls read the whole thing. This is excellent new info from @peltzmadeline. TY. 8/

I first heard of the Council for National Policy from @amandablount2. I wrote about it > learning that a few too many dubious election results in the US since 2000 have involved CNP members or CNP award recipients (& other Religious Right members). 1/ extranewsfeed.com/americas-talib…
Quite frankly, it scared the bejeezus out of me. 2/

Rs are now the party of violent religious extremists. They have morphed into a “Christian” version of the Taliban. They want to shutter the Department of Education so they can teach their version of a hateful God in school. Bannon even called 4 beheadings. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Either we listen to experts or we don’t. Democrats and Republicans have decided that we don’t. Neither party introduced a law that wld require rigorous election audits in 2022. Ds congratulate themselves for conceding, Rs congratulate themselves 4 #fraudits, & so shall it be. 🤬
And I’m pissed off. 🤬

Someone asked me what I think about Virginia’s results. What I think is that we need a rigorous manual audit b4 results are certified. I think we need that for all races. That’s what election security experts think too. Sadly, VA law doesn’t call 4 it. 🥵 verifiedvoting.org/auditlaw/virgi…
Renowned election experts have said for YEARS that we need rigorous manual election audits! Don’t let Trump’s lies about 2020 and “fraudits” fool you into a false sense of security. Don’t let him trick you into rejecting the notion of audits. 1/

Something is very wrong w/ our election system. Number 1, that the Florida GOP has maintained control of the state for years despite the state having had so many more registered Ds (until now). Number 2, that Florida now claims to have more registered Rs than Ds. 1/ Image
Historically, I’ve been worried that the GOP may have gotten away with rampant cheating in elections. My concern now is that they may not even need to break the law anymore, that we may have crossed a tipping point due to gerrymandering, dark money, etc. 2/
But this sudden rise in Republican registrations is something new. What is going on??? 3/ @harrisonjaime

This is 100% a big part of the GOP’s plan for public education - eliminate federal funding. How many parents know this??? 1/
