Holy shit. Louisiana Republicans have voted to advance a bill out of committee making abortion from the moment of fertilization a crime, in which the mother can be charged with homicide.
You guys do realize that Rick Perry, the guy who presided over the deregulation of the Texas power grid in 2002 ran our entire Department of Energy under Trump, right?
@DavidPomerantz@stephen_haner If we can de-ice commercial planes safely, we can figure out how to weatherize renewable energy. But frozen wind blades wasn't the culprit: https://t.co/XJjKlo74y5
“I used to get a laugh from students by quoting a Soviet citizen. He said to me, ‘Of course we have freedom of speech. We just don’t allow people to lie.’ That used to get a laugh! They don’t laugh anymore.” https://t.co/2Y4c3j49fA
“I used my platform to run cover for a patently cruel, mendacious moron for President and now that he attempted a coup that included a deadly ransacking of the capitol, mean people want to hold me accountable rather than uNiTe.” - all of anti-anti-Trump twitter
Josh Hawley went on Fox News to say the First Amendment is “under attack” because he lost a book deal. But that’s just the free market at work. Freedom under attack looks like a mob beating a police officer with an American flag because they didn’t like the Election results.
To recap:
-Trump pressured Pence to subvert the vote, which VP can’t do
-Trump told his supporters to march on the Capitol, where Pence was doing his constitutional duty
-They chanted “Hang Mike Pence”
-Trump hasn’t spoken to Pence, nor condemned the chants for his assassination
NEW! #AnatomyofCapitolAttack TURN SOUND ON!
I submit this video as evidence in the Impeachment of Donald Trump.
Donald Trump engaged in "violent, deadly and seditious acts" which betrayed his trust as President and endangered the security of the United States.

If Congress can't impeach a president for violating—indeed, inverting—the core duty set out in his oath of office—to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States—then what's the point of impeachment?
Very important point from @brianstelter — new video trickling out now shows it was worse than the initial video captured, more violence against police, more vandalism, more destruction and hate
In the last four years, there has been a 242% increase in people engaging with content from questionable sources on Facebook.
