This is the master link for our live-tweeting of tonight's January 6th Committee hearings; feel free to share far & wide.
1/ All the best to Rep. Bennie Thompson from someone who also caught COVID despite being fully vaxxed & boosted; it sucks & get better soon. Also, way to make sure the Q crazies start off the night all disoriented.
2/ Everything I've read & heard coming into tonight is that "187 minutes of inaction" will be the theme for tonight's hearing.
/3 I think this is the most direct plea yet that there must be consequences FOR TRUMP if our democracy is to survive.
/4 Liz Cheney delivers what at first sounded like a closing argument - referencing back to her opening statement that we covered here - before throwing us a curveball. "The dam has broken ... we will convene further hearings in September."
/5 ooooof playing the Mitch McConnell clip from 1/7 has to feel like a hit below the belt if you're a Republican, no?
/6 🚨 Now we know at least one of the reasons the #Jan6thCommittee committee subpoenaed the (now suspiciously missing) Secret Service texts: they were apparently terrified
/7 and Rep. Luria shares ANOTHER important role of Secret Service texts: AT THE TIME Trump was instructing his supporters to march to the Capitol, the Proud Boys were already assembling
/8 I wish Rep. Luria would call the insurrectionists "insurrectionists" and not "rioters."
/9 do you remember watching the Jan. 6th insurrection on TV, unfolding in real time? I sure as hell do. I have the panicked texts I sent to @seriouspod, @allisongill & others wishing we could do something, ANYTHING. The committee is up against 18 months of Repub gaslighting
/10 Kinzinger: "Trump did not fail to act... he *chose* not to act."
