Thread incoming about this letter
First, here is an earlier thread about a letter previously sent to Loudermilk--this May 19 letter is referenced in the newest one.

TLDR: GOP said they didn't give tours of the Capitol bf Jan 6, but the Comm heard they did and wanted to talk to Loudermilk
Like the #Jan6Hearings, you could call this letter a multimedia presentation.

In it, the Committee shares what they say are photos of Loudermilk giving a tour on January 5, when the Capitol was closed to the public.

The #Jan6thcommittee has renewed its request to Rep. Loudermilk for information about a tour he led through the Capitol complex the day before the insurrection.

On the site thanks to @rohini_kurup: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2206… screenshot of the pdf
@rohini_kurup The #Jan6thCommittee says that after reviewing surveillance footage, social media activity, and witness testimony, it discovered that Loudermilk led a tour through the Capitol complex that day, despite the complex being closed to visitors.

@rohini_kurup The request comes two days after Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger sent a letter, also posted to the Jan. 6 Project page, saying that police found nothing suspicious about the tour.

The Fediverse isn’t a social media site but a decentralized collection of servers that represents an entirely different way of organizing social media.

The explanation, and the implications for tech policy, from @kiernanchrist: lawfareblog.com/what-earth-fed…
Unlike Twitter or YouTube, which are both ONE THING in themselves, the "Fediverse" is "A network of interconnected servers, which communicate with each other based on decentralized networking protocols."

You may have heard of some of the bigger names: Mastadon, PeerTube, Pleroma
(Incidentally, would anybody be interested if Lawfare set up shop in the Fediverse? Asking for @ARozenshtein)
