Rick: I would argue Doug Mastriano, running for Gov of PA, is the worst of anyone running for any office
Jennifer Cohn: I think he has some close competition with DeSantis & the person running in Arizona, but he's up there. @jennycohn1#HandMarkedPaperBallots#ProtectOurVotes
Jennifer Cohn: On abortion access, he wants to ban it even if the mother is going to die without an abortion. Women with ectopic pregnancies can lose liters of blood while docs don't do abortions for fear of going to jail, even though the fetus isn't viable. @jennycohn1
Jennifer Cohn: They made it seem like 1 million more mail-in ballots were sent in than were originally sent out. They did that by switching the data between the primary & general election. @jennycohn1#HandMarkedPaperBallots#ProtectOurVotes
Jennifer Cohn: PA is the subject of a Kremlin-aligned and possible Kremlin-funded group, World Congress of Families. They are pommeling PA with propaganda.
Rick: Using religion to divide us. Once we're truly a Christian nation, that's when the "fun" begins. @jennycohn1
Jennifer Cohn: Both my parents are Jewish. I thought we had a good ten years before they came for the Jews but I'm rethinking that after seeing what's going on now. @jennycohn1#HandMarkedPaperBallots#ProtectOurVotes
Jennifer Cohn: Basically everyone who gets banned from Twitter for hate speech goes over to Gab. Attacks on LGBTQ, black people, other minorities.
Rick: They want to criminalize same-sex marriage.
Jennifer: They want to criminalize dissent. @jennycohn1#HandMarkedPaperBallots
Rick: That's why TX's vigilante laws scare me so. They're training people to spy on each other. #RickShow
Richard Ojeda: Those were NOT their people; they just wanted to make it look that way. When things got tough, Josh Hawley took off running.
Rick: The Haulin' Hawley 5K.
Rich: A wannabe tough guy, & it shows. @Ojeda4America@NoDemLeftBehind
Richard Ojeda: There's a guy, Jordan Klepper, goes to all the Trump rallies & talks to people. They're ignoring the #Jan6thHearings altogether. They have time to stand around for 12 hrs waiting for Trump but don't have time to watch a 2-hr hearing @Ojeda4America@NoDemLeftBehind
Richard Ojeda: DeSantis is just waiting right now for the go-ahead to run. He won't run head-to-head against Trump b/c he needs Trump's uneducated base. @Ojeda4America@NoDemLeftBehind
Max Burns: Steve Bannon just cannot stop committing federal crimes. He's been part of every push against democracy since Trump became Pres. @themaxburns@thedailybeast#Jan6thHearings
Rick: Steve Bannon was found guilty of contempt of congress after only 3 hrs of deliberations by federal jury; he could get 6 mos to 3 yrs in jail.
Max Burns: There's no GOP Pres to pardon him now, either. @themaxburns@thedailybeast#Jan6thHearings
Max Burns: Schedule F is a nightmare; GOP wants to make 50,000 federal employees immediately eligible to be fired if Trump is reelected & finds them disloyal. Purging the Civil Service is their goal. Openly planning this shows incredible confidence. @themaxburns@thedailybeast
Bob Ney: The hearing tonight was amazing. I keep up with what's going on in D.C., yet tonight there was still new information. It was sobering truth and was well done. @bobney#Jan6thHearings
Bob Ney: It went back through everything that verifies. The outtakes were amazing to watch; you could tell Trump didn't want to be there or do anything. As the Capitol was being stormed, Trump was calling Senators to try to stop the certification. @bobney#Jan6thHearings
Sarah Burris: I think maybe people who are casual Trump fans are starting to flip but a lot of the core 30% of nutters are just gonna stay with Trump. Mike Pence might have a chance to win but not with 30% supporting Trump. @SarahBurris@RawStory#Jan6thHearings
Sarah Burris: This is more than just Jan 6; they're trying to make the point that Trump was manipulating people. Groups like The Proud Boys are using that as a cop-out. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: I get what Liz Cheney is trying to do--drawing the conclusion that Trump is the pillar of indictment.
Rick: As was stated during the hearing, Trump is a stain on our history. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: There is a radical rightwing terrorism about this that hasn't been addressed yet. This is the manifestation of when someone lights the powder keg of rightwing crazy people. @SarahBurris@RawStory#Jan6thHearings
Bob Ney: Some of these candidates won't go up against the grain that Trump has created. @bobney
Bob Ney: This is not federalization of the election--I'm not saying to do that, but there are ways that the states can be held accountable to make it easier for people to vote instead of harder for people to vote. (con't) @bobney
Bob Ney: (con't) If you don't have standards for making it easier for people to vote, it becomes fraudulent. @bobney
Greg Palast: They've got the money but we've got the people.
Rick: That's why I've said, that we've outprocreated the Repubs.
Greg: That's why they use voter suppression to steal our votes. @Greg_Palast
Greg Palast: There's a new voter law in GA, SB-202, signed by their gov., that says any voter there can challenge any other voter there, & there's no limit to the # of challenges. I spoke w/ one woman who made 32,000 challenges just in Cobb County, GA. @Greg_Palast
Greg Palast: This woman--a Repub--who challenged all the Biden voters didn't contact the people before she challenged them. She didn't even print out her list of challenges--she submitted a thumb drive. I can't make this stuff up. @Greg_Palast
