@BeschlossDC People w Covid get a fever, sore throat and a lot of coffin. If they’d taken their vax and booster, chances are against needing a casket.

@BeschlossDC Don’t forget the stolen furniture! Beyond belief

Here is what the Congressional Research Service says about the Presidential Records Act and penalties for someone who removes or tampers with documents:

@MichaelArt123 They took furniture?!
A new non-political low point.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

On #HolocaustRememberanceDay and every day, we remember the six million Jewish lives that were brutally stolen from the world. We must continue to fight against antisemitism in Georgia, across the country and around the world.

Hitler came to power in Gertmany 1933 with help from his own “Big Lie” — he ridiculously claimed that Germany hadn’t really lost World War I and that instead Germans had been sabotaged from within by Jews and Communists, and that Nazis needed power to avenge this.

The @January6thCmte hearings will expose each level of the assault against the peaceful transfer of power on Jan. 6. If democracy is to survive and grow, Americans need to know the truth about the seditious conspiracies and violence that nearly overturned the will of the people.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Supreme Court gets one right: It won’t block release by National Archives of the mass of presidential papers sought by the Jan 6 committee that Trump moved heaven and earth to keep hidden. THIS IS HUGE.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

If the GOP can pass a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for the super rich with 51 votes, we shouldn’t need 60 votes to protect something as fundamental as the right to vote.

Not the most important thing, but the attack on Beth Israel reminds me Senate Republicans have been blocking confirmation of the superbly qualified Deborah Lipstadt as the US Special Envoy to to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism for months. A disgrace. Biden should call them out.

BREAKING: In a MAJOR blow to Trump, DirecTV announces that it is dropping One America News(OAN), the network that was instrumental in inciting the deadly insurrection and brainwashing millions of conservatives into believing Trump’s Big Lie. RT IF YOU SUPPORT DIRECTV’S DECISION!

Churchill's New Year greeting 80 years ago:

"Here’s to 1942, a year of toil, of struggle & peril, & a long step forward towards victory. May we all come through safe and with honor."

So in 2022, here's to our year of toil & struggle. May we all come through safe and with honor.

Lucille and Louis Armstrong and the Sphinx, this month 1961:

Appropriate that the bleak year of 2021 ended with boring victories by SEC powerhouses over brave upstart Cincinnati and noble long-suffering Michigan. On the other hand, beginning at a low point—a Georgia-Alabama rematch—2022 has only one way to go—up!

[Yo-Yo Ma @YoYo_Ma]

Wishing you all a happy 2022.
