If anyone in the Department of Justice (or any executive position) did what Thomas did, he would be fired and under investigation.
Will Garland show backbone, at long last? He was nominated to do just that, but has displayed it with insufficient frequency.
Independent journalist George Chidi's testimony has also been moved up a day. We both stumbled on the fake GOP elector meeting in December 2020 -- and were each separately barred from entering and told it was an education meeting. (Photo: Arvin Temkar) #gapol
1. @FEMA’s Temporary Sheltering Assistance is now available for residents who were displaced from their homes by the wildfires, allowing survivors to shelter in hotels or motels temporarily as they develop a long-term housing plan.
Mares is accused of entering the United States Capitol Grounds during the January 6 insurrection while carrying a semi-automatic handgun, disrupting official Government business and official functions, and impeding a Congressional session. #Justice4J6 https://t.co/f9vE2eTlbz
Also, and this is going to sound like a non-sequitur but it links up in my mind, the fact that we overcome geography for college football purposes, but can't get ourselves together for a NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT, is one of the reasons this country IS STUPID!
Lindsey Graham and others say Donald Trump can’t get a fair trial in DC because of the jury pool. Translation, he can’t get a fair trial because there are too many Black people in DC and Black people, unlike White people, can’t be FAIR. When will MSM call out this Racism? @AP
US Marines are heading to the Persian Gulf to protect our ships against the Iranian religious nut jobs, again. Here at home, RWNJ @SenTuberville is refusing to allow the Marine Corps to install the Commandant of the Marine Corps because Tubby doesn’t GAF about our Marines!
In the history of the United States, the numbers of prosecutors who run away in fear after being publicly threatened by a criminal defendant is exactly zero.
Illegal threats by a criminal defendant will make prosecutors work even harder.
A federal judge is putting Google on trial for using its monopoly power to shut out rival search engines. Important work by @JusticeATR, @MassAGO, and dozens of state AGs to enforce the law against Google’s anticompetitive and unlawful actions.

Anyone who has seen Trump’s latest post knows that he should be immediately brought back to DC and held without bail. He has violated the conditions of his release. He’s threatening everyone. For the love of all things sane, stop holding this criminal motherfucker above the law.
Donald Trump has been arraigned in federal court on another criminal indictment – his THIRD and by far most serious. This one pertains directly to his efforts to overthrow the 2020 election with a fake elector scheme.
For Trump’s plot to succeed, he needed the support of multiple co-conspirators and shady politicians willing to look the other way.
And Cathy McMorris Rodgers was all too happy to play along.
Cathy initially pledged to vote against certifying the election, even repeating the same lies Donald Trump was spreading all over cable news:
Cathy only decided to support the lawful election outcome AFTER a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building the next day – but that doesn’t mean she stopped lying for Donald Trump.
Since the insurrection, Cathy has continued to spread disinformation to sow doubt about the integrity of American elections.
Even now she’s accused the Department of Justice of being “weaponized” for “political” purposes.
Maybe Cathy doesn’t believe the ex-president should be held liable for criminal conduct – but I do.
Cathy’s endless excuses for Trump’s election crimes are particularly alarming in the wake of this recent study by the University of Chicago, which found that as many as 12 million Americans believe violence would be justified to restore Donald Trump to power.
That’s no shock to me. From day one, Cathy has been Donald Trump’s biggest cheerleader in Congress from Washington state. She served as Trump’s 2020 campaign co-chair, and she was the ONLY member of the Washington caucus to vote against impeaching Donald Trump – twice.
Last year Cathy sent a loud and clear message to the right-wing extremists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th and all who share their beliefs – falsely claiming their leader was under attack for his political beliefs.
Now the chickens have come home to roost, and 12 million Americans are ready to use political violence to get their way.
Here’s the good news: The vast majority of Americans, including the vast majority of voters in WA-05, DO NOT support MAGA Republicans’ repeated calls for violence.
But I am deeply concerned for our country when a career politician like Cathy McMorris Rodgers can pass herself off as a so-called moderate Republican while actively fanning the flames of this dangerous, anti-democratic rhetoric.
We have got to send her packing next year because I don’t want to think what will happen if Republicans still hold the House majority if or when Donald Trump disputes his election loss again.
Your next congresswoman WA05,
Ann Marie
The forces that placed the psycho and criminal into office by 37,000 questionable votes ... so they could destroy the US from within ... should all be happy now at how much their corruption and greed has ruined this country with their lies, race driven craziness and fascism
