The 1/6 Commission must interview Rep. McCarthy; he was part of crucial communications with the then-President at key moments on 1/6.

If he resists, the Commission should subpoena him. If he defies that, go to court to enforce it. Otherwise the full story won’t be told.

Interviewing a Trump supporter who called himself a "Super Patriot." I knew I heard that term before . . .
Then I remembered.
@MADmagazine from the early 1970s!
Today's GOP = Cartoon fascists.

I’ve been a @USAA member for 38 years. I’ve already moved our mutual funds and brokerage accounts. I guess I need to move our insurance and banking and completely severe our ties if they’re supporting sedition and the trashing of the military by assholes who didn’t serve.

[Ben Wexler @mrbenwexler]

Kinda crazy that Mitch McConnell can literally say, out loud, “I will not compromise” and all anyone asks is “Why can’t Biden find compromise with the GOP?”

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Apparently, I part ways with many people in my view that just because you disagree strenuously with someone’s opinion, doesn't mean you should never again have a conversation with them.

[David Rothschild 🌻 @DavMicRot]

Impossible to overstate how pathetically complicit mainstream media was when we needed them most. Blinded by corporate interest (re: short term profits & tax cuts for rich), confusing false equivalency with objectivity, obsessed with access to MAGA without regard to harm to US.

“There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.”

- George Orwell, 1984

Never stop clinging to the truth.

The path to the insurrection was made clear here - six weeks before the November general election. If you oppose the commission you support tyranny. @LeaderMcConnell

[Brian J. Karem @BrianKarem]

If you stupidly, stubbornly and idiotically say there was no insurrection - you'd probably believe storming the Bastille in 1789 was just a bunch of rowdy French tourists out to have a good time.
I was an eyewitness. It was violent. Dangerous.
Investigate. Charge. Prosecute.

[Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings]

These $1,000 teacher bonuses, like the previous ones for first responders, are funded by the #AmericanRescuePlan passed by @HouseDemocrats which the governor opposed.

He's taking credit for a Democratic bill he fought against.

Shameless.

@kylegriffin1 Susan Collins… is a serial liar and proven bad-faith actor.

[Joshua Kane @WelpKm]

@kylegriffin1 Isn’t that 100 million people? “Just” 1/3 of the population is suffering from mass delusion. Nbd

[Joshua Kane @WelpKm]

@SteveSchmidtSES @mtgreenee @GOPLeader Acting like mcCarthy isn’t just as insane as greene is such a stupid move. He’s the same bad faith actor with the same destructive beliefs.

[Joshua Kane @WelpKm]

@dpakman Because they don’t care what, if anything, passes. This legislation won’t make a drastic difference in their lives. They just want to make it seem like they tried so that their re-election chances aren’t stifled.

[Joshua Kane @WelpKm]

@mariacsuarez50 @hugolowell Lol

[Joshua Kane @WelpKm]

@dpakman She’ll distance herself from the recent controversies and in 5 or 10 years we’ll be talking about her running for president. The insanity that the republicans are able to routinely normalize knows no bound. Also Gaetz will be her vp(lots of nazi street cred gained in prison).

[David Cicilline @davidcicilline]

Here is the resolution I introduced today to censure Rep. Gosar for his attempt last week to rewrite the history of the January 6th Insurrection.

I am also introducing resolutions to censure Reps Hice and Clyde for their efforts to do the same.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

A cartoon from the 1960s. My father wasn’t beloved by America. In ‘Letter From Birmingham Jail,’ he responded to 8 white clergy who took issue w/the nonviolent campaign he was leading in Birmingham. He wrote of “white moderates” who were “more devoted to order than to justice.”
