MAGA is amplifying claims of unsubstantiated allegations against Biden that are coming from two compromised @GOP lawmakers @RepJamesComer and @ChuckGrassley, who issued a subpoena to the FBI demanding an investigation based on a “highly credible” whistleblower complaint.
These congressmen assert that the FBI has material outlining “an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” Yet they provide no info re: the whistleblower’s background or credibility.
.@RepRaskin: “This is a baseless political stunt. Committee Republicans are recycling unsubstantiated claims floated by Senate Republicans by issuing a subpoena to the FBI to require the release of a June 2020 tip from an unknown informant.”
“During this same time period, Rudy Giuliani and Russian agents, sanctioned by Trump’s Treasury, were peddling disinformation aimed at interfering in the 2020 presidential election,” Raskin added.

Basically we have GOP lawmakers issuing subpoenas based on Russian disinformation
No evidence has emerged that Biden’s decisions were influenced in any way by his son’s arrangements, though Hunter Biden’s business dealings have fueled GOP investigations on both sides of the Capitol since before his father’s election.
The real headline here is that high-ranking Republican congress members are issuing subpoenas against THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES based on FALSE TIPS FROM RUSSIAN SPIES. The GOP has for decades and remains the #PartyofTreason. They should be expelled from congress.
And I’m still waiting for @ChuckGrassley to issue an explanation to the American people for why he thought he’d be presiding over the counting of electoral votes for the 2020 election in Mike Pence’s place because “We don’t expect him to be there.” Why was that, Chuck?? Image

HOLY FUCK: This case was Shelby County v. Holder (2013), the one that infamously gutted huge portions of the Voting Rights Act, ending the requirement for any new voting restriction bills introduced in any state to be “pre-cleared” with the Department of Justice.
I explain what this case did to voting rights in this thread.
Here’s a link to the part that zeroes in on it further:

BREAKING: Leonard Leo—the self-proclaimed ‘judicial activist’ who basically founded the Federalist Society—arranged for Ginni Thomas to be paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work just over a decade ago, specifying that her name be left OFF billing paperwork.
In January 2012, Leo instructed Kellyanne Conway to bill a nonprofit group called the Judicial Education Project and use that money to pay Ginni. The same year, the Judicial Education Project filed a brief to the Supreme Court in a landmark voting rights case.
Leo, an adviser to the Judicial Education Project and key figure in a network of orgs that have worked to nominate conservative judges, told Conway that he wanted her to “give” Ginni Thomas “another $25K.” He emphasized the paperwork should have “No mention of Ginni, of course.”

AG Merrick Garland: “These defendants and a 5th member were all convicted of felonies, including obstructing Congress’ certification of the 2020 Presidential election results and conspiring to prevent Congress and federal officers from discharging their duties.”
“The evidence presented at trial detailed the extent of the violence at the Capitol on Jan 6th and the central role these defendants played in setting into motion the unlawful events of that day…”
“Today’s verdict makes clear that the Justice Department will do everything in its power to defend the American people and American democracy.” Since the Jan 6th attack, the DOJ has conducted one of the largest, most complex and most resource-intensive investigations in history.”

No, THIS is a lie

@HouseGOP: Your Budget is IN WRITING.

This is what people of color have to deal with from the police every day. This officer—who is literally wearing a TERRORIST flag over half of her face—refuses to issue a ticket to this woman’s son or remove her hand from her gun. This mom probably saved her son’s life.
Found a link to this story. This was in Elk Grove, California in September of 2020. It looks like the son filed a formal complaint but there were no ramifications for the officer. Absolutely infuriating and unacceptable.

I live in a blue state on the East Coast in which I have never seen police donning terrorist, confederate, or Nazi flags/bandannas across their faces, cars, or uniforms. But I’ve been pulled over three times since I moved here and was never even ticketed. White privilege is real.

Ok, guy who pays Elon $8 a month to validate his existence and allow him to reply with 10,000 character length novels like this, let’s dance. I’m gonna go through this litany of complete and utter nonsense point by point. Enjoy @jamescpyun ImageImageImage
1.) “Inflation is still at a 45 year high”
—Inflation is at a 40 year high due to a confluence of factors that include your false prophet’s disastrous pandemic response. Inflation continues to decline & every single Republican in Congress voted against the Inflation Reduction Act ImageImageImage
2.) “Crimes like burglary, shoplifting, and car jacking are at record highs.”
—Trends in non-violent crimes have risen in some parts of the country. This isn’t a reflection on Biden & the worst crimes are shootings that continue because the GOP won’t pass common sense gun reforms
