Your reminder that when Putin first launched his illegal invasion of Ukraine, Trump called it “genius,” “savvy,” and “so smart.”

And the entire Republican Party collectively blamed President Biden and parroted the exact same Kremlin talking points because they’re all traitors.
And shockingly, I have receipts:
#GOPTraitorsToDemocracy
For anyone that never heard Trump’s remarks when Putin attacked, here you go. He said these things about one of our most longstanding geopolitical adversaries waging an unprovoked and cataclysmic war against one of our sovereign democratic allies in Europe

If Marjorie Taylor Greene accusing Democrats of “already starting the killings [of Republicans]” doesn’t make your blood run cold, you either failed out of or never took a good history class. Accusing your opponents of committing atrocities is how future atrocities are justified.
The only other possibility of course is you being someone who actually likes and would support the execution or extermination of your political opponents (see all of MAGA/The @GOP, and every member of every oppressive dictatorship that has ever existed).
Sadly, this wasn’t surprising rhetoric to hear from @RepMTG, who has long been a proud proponent of Q-Anon, a domestic terrorist group that accuses Democrats of being a cabal of blood-drinking Satan-worshipping pedophiles. Most recent thread on Q-Anon:

BREAKING: @RepJimmyGomez has introduced and @BillPascrell has cosponsored a resolution to hold a vote to #ExpelMarjorieTaylorGreene from the House of Representatives. This needs to happen as soon as possible. Image
Quick overview of House terms:

Resolutions = legislation introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, but unlike bills they may be limited in effect to the Congress or one of its chambers.

There are 3 types of resolutions:
1. Simple
2. Joint
3. Concurrent
Simple Resolution = Legislation relating to the operations of a single chamber or expresses the collective opinion of that chamber on policy/member issues. A simple resolution originating in the House of Representatives is designated by the letters “H. Res.” followed by a number.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I am not going to mince words with you all. Democrats want Republicans dead and they have already started the killings.”

It’s time to pull the plug on these rallies by indicting Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene is a terrorist who needs to be prosecuted.
If this doesn’t warrant censure and a vote on expulsion, what exactly does? It doesn’t even matter that we don’t have the votes to expel her. We didn’t just not bother to impeach Trump because we didn’t have the votes to remove him from office. We impeached his ass twice anyways.
Just imagine the GOP reaction if @AOC or @IlhanMN had said this. That’s the level of outrage that is actually warranted here. Enough is enough. These rallies are going to get people killed.

.@RepRaskin penned an op-ed for The NY Times last week that’s a blazing rebuke of congressional Republicans’ distortion of the 2nd Amendment to try to rationalize the January 6th insurrection they helped plan/incite.

“The Second Amendment Gives No Comfort to Insurrectionists:”
“Many Republicans in Congress agree with Representative Matt Gaetz that the Second Amendment “is about maintaining within the citizenry the ability to maintain an armed rebellion against the government, if that becomes necessary…”
“This purported ‘right’ to overthrow the government means that the people must enjoy access to weapons that are wholly unnecessary for hunting or self-defense, such as military-style assault weapons…”

The most crushing blow was how even though we managed to gain control of the senate and remove Mitch as majority leader (thank you Georgia!), a 50/50 senate meant that even 1 Dem senator could sabotage almost any bill. And the GOP purchased two of ours (Manchin and Sinema).
While we can’t primary Sinema yet and Manchin is likely the best we’re going to get from West Virginia for a long time, what we can do is expand our senate majority by at least two senators in November which would FINALLY give us a FUNCTIONAL MAJORITY.
538 (which aggregates all credible polling sources) currently has Democratic odds of keeping or expanding our senate majority at 87 out of 100. Of course we should continue to act as if this number is much lower and work EVERY DAY between now and November 8th to MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Reminder: The last time Donald Trump spoke to Mitch McConnell on the phone, McConnell flat out refused to humor any of his lies about “election fraud,” and ultimately got so fed up with listening to him rant he simply said “You lost the election,” and hung up on him.
And do not mistake this for a millisecond as me praising McConnell or even trying to portray him favorably. To McConnell, Trump was always just a useful tool to pack the Judiciary and SCOTUS with extremists. After he lost, he was of no use to McConnell anymore. It’s that simple.
