“Today I am an inquisitor…My faith in the Constitution is whole; it is complete; it is total. And I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction, of the Constitution.” Rep. Barbara Jordan.

After years of aggressive treatments, childhood cancer survivor Nicole Schulz feared she’d never be able to have children. Then, a miracle happened.

Mark this down. The GOP will attempt to overthrow every election loss in 2022, close or not.

The #FBI is seeking information that leads to the capture of individuals involved in the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. If you recognize this participant, leave a tip at https://t.co/iL7sD5efWD, and refer to photo 250.

Leader Schumer in his final remarks after the all-night session: "Especially, let us thank the great floor staff, the clerks, the cafeteria workers, the custodial staff, and the Capitol Police." Senators give a standing ovation.

West Virginia's Senator Manchin arranged it so that West Virginians will get $100 less each month in unemployment benefits, won't have an increased minimum wage and fewer West Virginians will be eligible for the $1,400 stimulus payment.

Y'all should give him a call.

I do not like hypocrisy.
I do not like it can't you see?
I do not like it in the House.
I do not like it when they grouse.
I do not like it in the Senate.
I do not like it as a tenet.
Dr. Seuss books have not been banned.
This "controversy" is completely canned.

A friend of ours lost her husband to Covid. They have a 14, 6, and 1 year old. The mother had Covid also but seemed better. Yesterday she was driving with the 6 & 1 yr old. Felt bad. Pulled over put the car in park and died from a blood clot. 6 yr old called his grand momma.💔

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Good thread from well-known cartoonist @jaketapper. Dr. Seuss is not canceled. His estate is discontinuing a few books w/ racist imagery that was, alas, acceptable at the time. The right is fighting to preserve such racist imagery even when its owner seeks reconciliation.

Go Eric! This @RepSwalwell lawsuit against Trump in his personal capacity is one Trump won’t easily escape. Its legal basis is solid and its factual predicates are overwhelming.

Under Trump, Bill Barr brought back the horrifically brutal spectacle of firing squad executions.

Now South Carolina, where total Trump toadie Lindsey Graham dwells, has also.

Apparently the "good ol' days" the GOP embraces are full of death & fear.

DC NATIONAL GUARD GENERAL: “I received a frantic call from Chief Sund at 149pm... didn’t hear back from senior leadership until 3 hours and 19 minutes later.”

Trump’s Secretary Of Defense Chris Miller had issued a stand down order just days before.

[Ben Jealous @BenJealous]

Right now, 33 states are pushing 165 bills meant to restrict voting access.

This should alarm us all.

If we do not act now, the cycle of disenfranchisement and disempowerment of the people will continue.

We need congress to pass the For the People Act.

DC Nat'l Guard Gen Walker tells Senate cmtes says there was talk with Pentagon on phone call about "optics." Said Gens Flynn/Piatt were concerned about what it would look like to have Nat'l Guard deployed to Capitol on 1/6
