Re-upping tweets from last night with some key points about the #J6Committee's just-released, impressive, and important final report that shows how close the US came to a coup.

The report is a well-written and compelling narrative of Trump's multiple efforts to destroy American democracy that eventually led to him inciting a violent insurrectionist attack on January 6. You can read it here—and you should:

EXCLUSIVE: The day after the big @nytimes exposé, scandal-struck George Santos revived the dissolved mystery company through which he had claimed to have earned between $3.5 million & $11 million. Very odd. Read the scoop from @nlanard & me. Please RT too.

A big question is where did newly-elected GOPer Goerge Santos get his millions. He had no assets & a $55K salary in 2020 but $3.5m to $11.5m in income in 2021/22. It all has to do with a mystery firm he has not fully explained. Read our scoop:

I did a quick read of the just-released House Ways and Means Committee report on Donald Trump's tax returns and shot out a few tweets. Here they are as a thread.

This is quite interesting. During the Trump years, the Trump IRS did not submit Trump's tax returns to the mandatory audits they were supposed to receive. Senate Democrats, perhaps next month you should ask why.
From the House Ways and Means report on Trump's taxes, here is a passage suggesting that Trump, @IvankaTrump, Eric, and @DonaldJTrumpJr were up to some fishy stuff.

A judge just ordered Trump, Junior & Ivanka to appear for depositions in NYAG James civil investigation case.

Remember, the Trumps don't do too well when it comes to testifying accurately during depositions. 1/3

JUST POSTED: In my video interview with @RepRaskin, he poignantly discusses his son Tommy, the Jan. 6 attack, and what happened behind the scenes during the second Trump impeachment. Please watch, like, and share. 1/3

Also, @RepRaskin and I talked about a stunning spoken-word piece called "Where War Begins" that Tommy Raskin wrote. Watch this video of Tommy performing it. 2/3

SCOOP: The owners of the Democrats' big data firm have an unknown side gig: working to elect far-right Republicans. This is an inside-baseball story about the most important stuff in politics. Please read/RT my latest.

You might know data is the most vital resource in politics these days. For the Democrats & progressives, TargetSmart is a key data firm that helps them develop voter data that can be used for crucial voter-contact programs. It had a $3m contract with the DNC last year. But...2/5
Unknown to political professionals in Dem and progressive circles, TargetSmart's owners also own a firm that works to elect far-right Republicans, including Stop the Steal leaders & 1/6 apologists. And this is sure to cause concern within the Dem. and prog. community....3/5
