I hate to say this but turn on @andersoncooper - he has the full cut of Nancy Pelosi’s daughter’s documentary showing what members of Congress were doing in real time when their place of work was attacked by Trump’s cult. So much for documenting a “peaceful transfer of power.”
A few points: 1. Nancy Pelosi was ready to punch out Donald if he came to the Capitol (“And I’ll be there with you.” 2. I bet Stephen Miller aka #SatansSnotRag wrote Trump’s Ellipsis speech. (“We will never give in. We will not concede.” Pelosi is a Queen.
Very fine people are these violent Trump morons, with their fucking language and threats. All at the direction of the president”- Nancy Pelosi notes on the phone.Chuck and Nancy negotiating with the Secretary of the Army and the Attorney General to do something to stop the riot.
Sorry “ACTING Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen”
Chuck Grassley so sad that Pence on the phone is telling Pelosi and Schumer that they can reconvene in an hour and finish the certification of the electoral votes. Chuck didn’t get to follow through with Trump’s plan. Kinda a miracle the process was completed.

You can tell from watching him showing grace under pressure, that Aaron Judge waited for his pitch to make history. He tipped his helmet to his mom in the stands. That made me tear up. nbcnews.com/news/sports/ju…
Tish James knows the Trump family needs to be put on trial for fraud. She spent three years looking into how Donald cooks his books. axios.com/trump-new-york…
Among other allegations, the suit claims that the former president's Florida estate and golf resort, Mar-a-Lago, was valued as high as $739 million, but should have been valued at around one-tenth that amount, at $75 million. abcn.ws/3DIBoqe
“We found that Mr, Trump, his children, and the corporation used more than 200 false asset valuations over a ten year period," James said at a press conference announcing the charges.
There are many tragedies associated with the former guy refusing to take #COVID seriously, even though he himself had it. One thing we don’t talk much about is the fact that the pandemic robbed ten million children of their caregivers. That is an ongoing trauma.
“In a recent poll exploring which of fifteen issues voters feel are most important ahead of the midterm elections, the coronavirus ranked fifteenth. Even among Americans who identify” newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…
Owing to a lack of congressional funding and a desire to move past the “acute emergency phase,” the Biden Administration is taking a less central role in managing the pandemic. It paused a program that sent out free coronavirus tests, and soon it will stop paying for vaccines.
