In another room on Capitol Hill, @DiamondandSilk have yet to speak
YAAAAASSSSSSSS 
Silk is now actually claiming that @realDonaldTrump is one of the conservative voices facing the terror of social media censorship nowadays
Reps on the Democratic side, particularly @RepRaskin, are LOLing pretty noticeably at that part of the testimony
If there’s one thing I know about Trump’s twitter feed it’s that it is restricted and definitely not hardwired now to every major media outlet he claims to despise and also mindmelded into basically every American and much of the world’s general consciousness
.@RepMattGaetz just left
.@RepRaskin and @tedlieu are LOLing again
Diamond and Rep. Johnson are now shouting past each other about “bashing” Facebook
There is barely a person in this room who isn’t trying to suppress laughter right now or looking at each other wondering what the hell is going on. Gohmert & Steve King just busted out laughing as @DiamondandSilk starting promoting their social media page for folks to follow
They went back to serious-face as Diamond shouted about “illegal aliens” and how she and Silk were “born here.”
I was chiding @samstein for forcing me to go to this waste of time, I take it all back, he was right all along, this is the best thing happening today
This shitshow at House judiciary with Diamond and Silk is a good time to remind readers/viewers that President Trump has for years been a fan, invites them to the White House, & still talks about D&S to aides and friends & about how great they are
Diamond is saying under oath she and Silk have “never been paid” by the Trump campaign.... UHHHHHHHH, paging @dellcam google.com/amp/s/gizmodo.…
.@RepMattGaetz is back and just banged a gavel
Diamond and Silk’s speech has been so censored that they were able to promote the Trump campaign on a neo-Nazi show
Wait where did steve king go
Ok, so my best guess here is they willfully ignored emails and outreach from FB, are continuing to pretend it didn’t exist, and are continuing to have Fox News and republican lawmakers give them platforms to keep saying FB didn’t reach out
This is a productive use of everyone’s whatever
Rep. Jeffries asking about this. Diamond and Silk respond by saying the FEC form showed a reimbursement for travel
.@tedlieu calls this whole thing “stupid,” “ridiculous”
Oh god Darrell Issa is here
I think we’re coming to a close soon. @DiamondandSilk are both claiming that what happened to them could precipitate a “dictatorship” or a “dictator”
went up to @DiamondandSilk as they were leaving the hearing, Diamond squints at me and asks “what’s your name” and I told her Swin. They then drew me in for an actual big group hug and said “we know who you are.” When I asked why they never respond to my emails...
...They said “we know what the media is like.” I asked if they were going to see Trump today or at least head to the WH, and they said they couldn’t comment on that. @oliverdarcy tried to ask them about Facebook & all they said is that “Facebook is a liar.”
One thing I forgot to mention about the hearing: after it was over Darrell Issa went up to chat with Diamond and Silk and talked about how Wikipedia is also mean to conservatives
