  1. "Sen. Eric Schmitt complained Thursday that Democrats keep bringing up the #January6th, 2021, insurrection in hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Pres. Donald Trump’s nominees routinely, and alarmingly, refuse to answer questions about the violence of that day and about who won the 2020 election":

    This means that Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt is dishonest, stupid, and an extremist. I have no respect for Schmitt.

    He is one of two #Republican candidates polling near the top of candidates for Governor of #California among a bevy of Democrats who are splitting votes in a primary where the top 2 compete in the general election, regardless of party affiliation.

  12. Fascinating read on a former marine and NYPD officer who got radicalised by Trump into assaulting a police officer during the January 6th insurrection attempt.

    Spoiler alert: he's still radicalised.

  13. The Last Republican, a 2024 documentary directed by Steve Pink about the Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger and his path defending US democracy after January 6th is now available to watch for free on Youtube for the first time:

    youtube.com/watch?v=HmL_2PKL9o4

    Being reminded of some of the things Trump tried to do but got blocked on by people in his own administration makes me worry about what will happen in the coming years when there are no people like that in his 2nd admin...

  14. "The scope and magnitude of Trump’s second-term #pardons are unprecedented. In the first year of the second Trump administration, the president issued 166 individual pardons, as well as a mass pardon that erased the verdicts of more than 1,500 #January6th Capitol rioters. A great number of these pardons appear indefensible. Trump’s pardons set off alarm bells for self-corruption, either of the president or of his associates:

  20. MAGA figures are NOTICEABLY NOT covering or bringing up the story of a man who was recently arrested for UNTHINKABLE child sex acts because it was #DonaldTrump who pardoned him for #January6th #JohnIadarola and #BrettErlich break it down on @[email protected] youtu.be/63t7hmmYmHM?...

    MAGA Goes SILENT After Trump's...

  21. @gtconway3 Note: Only Republicans are cowards. Nancy Pelosi was explicitly threatened during the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. But she had the ‘balls’ to continue slamming #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump *and* running for re-election in 2022. Her husband was almost killed by a #MAGA nutjob just before that election, but she still *ran again* in 2024.

    Many other #Democrats are just as tough. It is just the #BananaRepublicans in #USpol with no ‘cojones’! Why is that? 🤔

  22. Voters in #Missouri voted for #Venezuela #WarPowersAct flip-flopping Senator #JoshHawley to *represent them* in #Congress.

    So, voters in the ‘Show-me State’ are tough guys in public, but cowards in private? 🤔 👀 👉 youtu.be/ByWvdGJ8CwM

  23. Jessica Riedl: "No one is above the law except:
    - Pres. Trump,
    - Friends of Pres. Trump,
    - 1,600 pardoned #January6th rioters,
    - Countless other remorseless pardoned criminals, and
    - ICE agents who shoot women in the face and who abuse law-abiding citizens."

  24. Jake Tapper to Kristi Noem: "I just showed you a video of people attacking law enforcement officers on #January6th. Undisputed evidence, and I just said, Pres. Trump pardoned all of them. You said that Pres. Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That is just not true. There's a different standard for law enforcement officers being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters. We just saw that."

  25. "The Senate unanimously approved a measure Thursday to display an existing plaque honoring the officers who protected the Capitol during the #January6th 2021 riot":

    I think this news makes Donald Trump unhappy. I know this news makes me happy.

  26. "Sen. Thom Tillis criticized Pres. Donald Trump’s blanket pardons to hundreds of rioters charged in the deadly #January6th 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. In remarks on the Senate floor, Tillis underscored his opposition to the president pardoning those who injured law enforcement officers and destroyed the Capitol building during the insurrection":

  30. Yes, @gemlog, Trump sometimes jokes about having a #ThirdTerm. He does it to try to give the impression that he is not a lame duck (meaning that he still has a political future after 2028. But he does not, due to term limits.) On #January6th 2021, false electors claimed to have votes for a Trump/Pence ticket. There is no chance of Congress voting in 2029 for a ticket that includes Trump. #politics 2/2

  31. FBI Director Kash Patel claimed: "When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation's Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life."

    FactPostNews replied: "Donald Trump pardoned all of the #January6th rioters that broke into the Capitol."

  33. False claim: "If the Democratic party does not get off the #bigCorp bandwagon and start working for the people, then they are little different than the Republicans."

    Facts: This is what Republicans did and Democrats would not do:
    Alienate friendly nations including Canada, Australia, and European nations.
    Pass a law cutting Medicaid and using that money for more tax cuts for billionaires.
    Sell pardons to dangerous criminals.
    Given pardons to criminals who attacked the police on #January6th. 1/2

  34. Actual footage from the #January6th 2021. AND a reminder they have ALL since been pardoned by #DonaldJTrump. It's a GOOD bet a great MANY of them are currently employed by the #FederalGovernment currently under DIRECT control of #StephenMiller and #Trump to a lesser degree! #PlausibleDeniability

  35. Laurence Tribe: "Over the weekend, Trump said 'the Biden FBI placed 274 agents in the January 6 mob of insurrectionists.' He wrote 'If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies.' But it isn’t so: TRUMP was still POTUS until January 20. It was the TRUMP FBI."
