Apparently, TN representatives who are expelled can return by running again in a special election. The state constitution also says a lawmaker can't be expelled a second time for the same offense. Expect a national campaign for re-election. @brotherjones

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

He is publicly intimidating a judge and pointing a spotlight on their family to his supporters - many of whom have admitted in court to committing violence in his name.

He knows what he’s doing.

Everyone needs to be paying attention to what's happening in Tennessee 🚨

3 lawmakers are about to be illegally ousted for joining the 10,000 kids protesting at the state capitol.

Stop following Trump's location and focus on protecting our democracy from fascism everywhere.

👏🏼 congratulations on your first bill @RagaForQueens

[Assemblymember Steven Raga @RagaForQueens]

My first bill (A04016) passed the Assembly UNANIMOUSLY — clarifying that federal funds can be used to provide care for eligible residents of adult care facilities who receive both hospice and assisted living program services.

[Maria Javier @mjflowells]

@RahkimSabree @albadawee Thanks for sharing! Definitely needed this.

Easily one of my favorite professors in grad school — Thank you and enjoy the downtime @musingmuttering!

[Douglas Muzzio @musingmuttering]

Today, I retired from Baruch College after 43 years. It has been a wonderful run. I thank the thousands of students who have given me much joy and satisfaction (and, infrequently, agita). They are the best in the world; they are New Yorkers. I could not work elsewhere.1/2

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

Fascism anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere. Period.

Brazil’s violent protests are the result of a former president who idolized Donald Trump more than anything. And now Brazil’s democracy and people will pay the price.

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

On the heels of the two year anniversary of January 6, it's deeply disturbing to see similar images come out of Brazil, where Bolsonaro supporters have stormed Congress and the presidential office in a violent attempt to override a democratic election.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

BREAKING: President Biden just condemned the attack on Brazil's democracy. Hakeem Jeffries did the same earlier. Meanwhile, we've heard absolutely nothing from Kevin McCarthy & Mitch McConnell. Their silence speaks volumes about how little they care for democracy at home—& abroad

[Staff Sergeant Gonell, Aquilino @SergeantAqGo]

They kept rotating fresh people. We couldn’t. We, the police had to stay put and withstand the waves of violence.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Never forget.

[Congressional Workers Union @Congress_Union]

On this horrific day two years ago, an insurrection took place at the U.S. Capitol — the duty station of thousands of workers.

[Nicholas Wu @nicholaswu12]

Leader Jeffries is leading lawmakers this am in a remembrance ceremony for the two-year anniversary of Jan. 6:

[January 6th Committee @January6thCmte]

Today, the Select Committee made public 34 transcripts of witness testimony that was gathered over the course of the Select Committee’s investigation.

These records can be found on the Select Committee’s website: https://t.co/JZaSH4GmdK

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

UPDATE: The Jan. 6 select committee report will be released ... TOMORROW.

Some records may be released today.

[January 6th Committee @January6thCmte]

We have every confidence that the work of this Committee will help provide a roadmap to justice.

[Jim Puzzanghera @JimPuzzanghera]

As the final Jan. 6 hearing begins, four of the nine members sitting on the dais-- Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Stephanie Murphy and Elaine Luria -- will not return for the next Congress, either by choice or because they lost in a primary or general election.
