@Timodc ⁩ does a public service in stitching together the horrid activities of Rep Gosar. Hopefully investigations are underway given his meetings w/ domestic violent extremists & organizing 1/6 - but if that fails, who is going primary him in 2022?!

I know it’s not a traditional conservative position, but I think it’s consistent with pro-life values to find a way to help families afford child care and provide paid family medical leave. Might want to debate the how - but it’s a good goal. #accountablegop

I can’t footstomp Lt. Col Vindman’s pt enough. I keep hearing commentators incredulous that Trump would illegally pressure someone to get what he wants. This is what he does. Four years of steamrolling the law and the people who tried to uphold it.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. ⁦ @realDonaldTrump ⁩ is corrupt and this call fits a pattern of corruption. In time investigators will uncover a series of “perfect” calls. Priority 1 will be uncovering corruption and protecting democracy.

As the 9/11 Commission recognized, delays in the 2000 transition left our country more vulnerable to foreign adversaries. The law was updated to ensure this didn’t happen again. GSA Admin must act.

Already Republican Response striking the wrong tone. Not shocked. But since I don’t know the Gov, was hoping there might be a bit more of a traditional respect for the President in the midst of the greatest world security crisis since WWII. But no. I should have known better.

I want to like @TimScottSC . I can’t tell if it’s him or bad speechwriter / advisors. But that was hollow. It was the Dr Seussing of response speeches. If he wanted to do something meaningful for our country, he should have repented for complicity w/ Jan 6 & rejected Trumpism.

Wow. This explains a lot: Links to "a Russian state-backed publication that American intel officials considered the Kremlin’s “principal international propaganda outlet,”... featured on RealClearPolitics & right-leaning publishers: National Review, The Daily Caller & Newsmax.

2/ if you hold a clearance, you must take annual counterintelligence training. One of the reportable behavioral indicators is excessive debt. If you become aware of a colleague that has significant debt, you must report it to your security officer.

Very alarming. It’s a red line in govnt: Political people don’t tinker with the intel. Even if there was justification for the initial hold, shouldn’t take 2 months to fix and release. Another example of norms being violated; and avoiding issues so Trump doesn’t get upset.

I am weary too @FrankFigliuzzi1 ... but you’re right to keep sounding the alarm. The Republican Party has been radicalized. And there are plenty of violent actors happy to create the flash points to accelerate their goals of violence. Exhausting and sad to watch.

Feeling disheartened today at the darkness & injustice w/in our country. I refuse to grow weary in seeking justice through our civil institutions. But even if they fail, we can pray for God’s justice. Whether in this life - “you reap what you sow” - or the next. He will do it.

It's a conspiracy, led by the President, which you participated in, to deceive a portion of the country for years, culminating in the the grand deception that there was systemic fraud & the election was stolen. It's the lies & your unwillingness to speak truth to your supporters.
