“Jim Jordan’s new ‘Weaponization of the Federal Government’ subcommittee is a psychological projection and political confession. Their obvious—and demonstrable—purpose is to abuse the power of Congress to send Donald Trump back to the White House in 2024.”
“We get it: My Republican colleagues wish that the Hunter Biden story would have helped them win the 2020 election. And that didn’t happen — and so they’re angry about it — and that’s the point of this hearing.”

“Republicans [had] ‘dozens’ of secret meetings with whistleblowers yet provided no notes [from] those meetings to Democrats. If there are notes, let us see them. If there are no notes, how can you write a ‘report’ based on those interviews?”

Rep. @AOC: “So Twitter changed their own policy — AFTER [Trump] violated it — in order to potentially accommodate his tweet?”

Anika Collier Navaroli: “Yes.”

@RepAOC: “Thank you. So much for bias against right-wing on Twitter.”

#TwitterFilesHearing #AOC
RASKIN: There were hundreds of thousands of counterfeit Twitter accounts set up by Russian propaganda and disinformation?
ROTH: That’s right. Those accounts are still active on social media today.
@RepRaskin: Well, we should be having a hearing about that.
“[At Twitter] we saw Russian operatives playing both sides and often playing them against each other… Accounts operating out of the same Russian troll farm, arguing with each other — manufacturing drama both on Democratic and Republican sides.” Yoel Roth

“There has been a 66% increase of antisemitism on Twitter since Elon Musk set it ‘free’ … Not all Republicans are Nazis, but I gotta tell ya: Nazis seem really comfortable with Donald Trump… Why is that?” @RepMoskowitz

“Rather than conspiring to suppress right-wing MAGA speech — as my colleagues claim — Twitter and others knowingly facilitated Trump’s spread of disinformation…and gave voice to his followers’ glorification of violence and calls for civil war.”
@RepRaskin
“In America, private media companies can decide what to publish or how to curate content however they want… That’s what the first amendment means… Elon Musk [chose to] reinstate an unrepentant and still clearly lying Trump to the platform.”

Representative @MaxwellFrostFL: “When President Biden took office, did your agents stop enforcing the border and just allow everybody to come in, thus creating, what we hear here, is an open border?”

In Sept 2022, House Democrats passed Mental Health Matters Act — a bill to provide more mental health support in America’s schools.

@oliverdarcy on Dominion defamation lawsuit

“I think we’re just communicating wrong. Because what I know ‘woke’ to mean is, learning new things about people, or the world, and then acting accordingly, like basic kindness, maybe a gesture of care to people who are more vulnerable.”
@SarahKSilverman

Sarah Silverman explains that social media, cable news, and politicians profit from our anger.

Fox, Facebook, and Twitter have a business model that incentivizes them to keep us outraged; often that compels them to spread lies.

“America must reject the GOP’s dangerous nihilism about impossibility of separating truth from lies, a derangement… now infecting their whole party. Our system of democratic governance rests on truth and facts—not lies and conspiracy theories.”
@RepRaskin
“Their big lie has to stretch all the way over January 6. We have to disbelieve the evidence of our own eyes, of our own ears… They’re back on the news with big lies saying, ‘No no no, it was a tourist visit,’ like these real tourists up here.”
@RepRaskin
@DWStweets: Journalists should avoid accepting spoon-fed, cherry-picked information if it’s likely to be slanted. Would you agree with that?

Hannity: “I can’t imagine you ever saying, ‘Bring me some boxes we brought back from the White House. I’d like to look at them.’”

Trump: “I would do that... I have the right to take stuff! You know they ended up paying Nixon $18 million for what he had.”

“It is a felony to falsify business records with intent to defraud and intent to conceal another crime. That is what this case is about: 34 false statements made to cover up other crimes. These are felony crimes in NY — no matter who you are.” Alvin Bragg

“The big picture of what Alvin Bragg is saying is: For a candidate who ran on fake news — and he was the truth teller — this was all about presenting a fake story of who he is to the electorate.”

@Acyn How many elections must Trump lose before @RepRaskin no longer has to warn voters about him?

#TrumpIsANationalSecurityRisk
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”


@Acyn @RepRaskin Thank you for holding Trump accountable, @RepRaskin.
