PLEASE ENFORCE LAWS @TheJusticeDept AG Merrick Garland!!!

[Glenn Kirschner @glennkirschner2]

And this is precisely what happens when our law enforcement authorities refuse to TIMELY hold criminal politicians accountable. It encourages further crime - like McCarthy criminally obstructing a congressional proceeding. Hey DOJ - start enforcing the d@mn law!

Fed ⁦@FTC⁩ ⁦@linakhanFTC⁩ should not be alone in this fight. ⁦@SECGov⁩ should consider whether Exxon misled investors with regard to climate change. And Congress ⁦@SenateDems ⁦@HouseDemocrats⁩ Could hold hearings on proposed deal https://t.co/9Fqk8BPMbH

developing status of war illustrates just how quickly perceptions about who has moral high ground can evolve...Innocent people, partic children, are caught in political &military clash in which they played no part. They can’t &shouldn’t be targeted https://t.co/dO0pT7XKaX

“People have said no to propaganda, to lies, to corruption, and to taking Poland out of the EU.” Former Polish Foreign Minister @radeksikorski reacts to the apparent win of his former prime minister Donald Tusk’s opposition coalition. “Poland is a trendsetter.”

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Change will take some time in Poland. Went back to a Polish post office, on ul. Wiejska in Warsaw, and once again found a famously anti-Semitic newspaper for sale. Extremism and xenophobia became normal under this government.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

On the day the election results were announced, the Polish president named 72 illegal judges, all appointed unconstitutionally

"Jim Jordan is unfit for a position of national responsibility in a serious time, and his unfitness endangers us all."

More on the unique danger Jim Jordan would pose as Speaker of the House especially at a time of so much chaos around the world: https://t.co/hOhcXtTeYZ

Propaganda pays well

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

NBC News confirms: Before Jim Jordan's first defeat, the wife of Republican Rep. Don Bacon received anonymous messages warning him to back Jordan's speakership bid or risk being ousted.

One message: "Your husband will not hold any political office ever again. Your husband will not hold any political office ever again. What a disappoint [sic] and failure he is."

Another: "Why is your husband causing chaos by not supporting Jim Jordan? I thought he was a team player." @NBCNews

Rep. Pete Aguilar, nominating Hakeem Jeffries to be Speaker, on yesterday's 212-200 vote:

"No amount of election denying is gonna take away from those vote totals."

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Every single House Democrat voted for Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker. Again.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Republican Steve Womack says he believes Jim Jordan going to a third House Speaker vote will be the "final straw."

"I personally think that if we go to a third vote it's gonna get worse. It could get a lot worse." @NBCNews

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Asked his thoughts on Jim Jordan not having the votes to secure the speakership, President Biden says. "I ache for him." He then laughs.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Wow. After switching her vote away from Jim Jordan today, a Republican member of Congress said she's been receiving credible death threats and has notified the authorities. Her statement and more here: https://t.co/B6emLh2eZs

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I just announced $100 million for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank.

This money will support over 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians.

And we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need – not Hamas or terrorist groups.

If you enjoy watching the GOP losing in the Jim Jordan Speaker debacle, you're going to LOVE this:

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker just dropped a bombshell – he's rolling out "Think Big America," a national 501(c)4 organization, with a laser focus on securing vital swing states for Democrats in 2024 and beyond.

🚨This is HUGE!🚨JB isn't just a successful Dem Governor; he's also among the biggest donors in American political history.

How's he planning to work his magic?

JB is zeroing in on the issues where Dems are the strongest, like reproductive rights, and other areas where the GOP has taken a more authoritarian stance.

He's already thrown MILLIONS into battling the GOP nationally. Now, "Think Big America" is positioned to take the fight to the heart of the most crucial states.

This could be a MAJOR game-changer for the balance of power in 2024, and it's already giving Republicans fits.

Check out this great video and repost to spread the word and make the GOP's day even worse!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Mitt Romney rips Jim Jordan:

"Jim Jordan, for instance, you’ve heard, is running for speaker of the House...Do you know how many bills he’s passed that he’s authored? None...

We’re looking at electing a person who would be second in line to the presidency, who’s never passed a bill. But he’s certainly well known because he’s able to make a lot of noise. And that’s the currency of the realm these days in politics, is finding a way to stand out and to be well known...how does a democracy work, one when the population is getting information that may or may not be accurate? And two, when the people that are most well known are those that are accomplishing things, but instead are performing. And so politics itself has become more of a performance art."
