I've heard a bunch of people asking if the Congress can block the approval of the electors based on @RepMoBrooks ridiculous and anti-American attempt to overturn the election by challenging the slate. While theoretically possible in the say way Kanye's election was, NO. Thread: 2. The Electoral Count Act of 1887 establishes procedures for Congress to accept or reject the Electoral College. Basically, a member of the House can object to a state's slate of electors in writing. IF a member of the Senate ALSO objects, 2 hours of debate happens.

I want to share with you information about your organization that @brithume promoted to try and say masks do not work. To be clear MASKS WORK AND YOU SHOULD WEAR THEM.

Here’s info about @AAPSonline, a thread about discredited quacks pushing disinformation. First, here’s the overview: @AAPSonline is NOT a scientific organization representative of the medical community. Even their name is disinformation.
