McCarthy giving 40,000 hrs of Jan. 6 tape to a pro-Putin journalist is an astounding ethical collapse. What security precautions were taken to keep this from becoming a roadmap for 2024 insurrection? Why isn’t it available to all media & public? Smell the MAGA propaganda coming.

Earlier this month, the @HouseGOP passed a bill on the House floor to raise US oil prices. They are about to tee up another one this week, again designed to transfer $ from US consumers to US oil drillers. Thread below from the last one. Let's talk about the next one:
13/ "...whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it... He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together... that's the beginning of getting out of slavery..."
Related key point from @brianbeutler: News orgs constantly "reward GOP propaganda" by amplifying the supposed "optics problem" created for Dems by GOP noisemaking, regardless of whether the GOP argument has merit. But news orgs aren't obliged to do this!
