Some of them are constituents I’ve advocated for, some I see often and know by sight, some I’ve never met. All of them and many others whose names I’ll never know deserve to be remembered for what they did as we watch these hearings tonight. Keep them in your minds and hearts. — PolitiTweet.org

Think of— Jeffrey Smith, his widow Erin Smith, and family. Brian Sicknick, his mother Gladys, partner Sandra, and family. Howie Liebengood, his widow Serena, and family. Kyle DeFreytag, his parents, brother, sister, and family. Gunther Hashida, his widow Romelia, and family. — PolitiTweet.org

Eugene Goodman, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn, Aquilino Gonell, Daniel Hodges, and hundreds of others fought for our country against violent forces bent on insurrection that day. Please take a moment to think of them as you watch tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

When we finally finished certifying the 2020 election at 3:40 am I wrote “democracy prevails.” These officers made that outcome possible. They’ve suffered physical and psychological trauma, and seen their service denigrated by the very people they protected with their bodies. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Our democracy was attacked on January 6, 2021. Too many of my colleagues would ignore or deny this, but it is true. This attack was violent, and it was repulsed by brave officers who suffered grievous harm. Tonight as @January6thCmte hearings begin, I will be thinking of them. — PolitiTweet.org

It has been my great pleasure to work on this bill for five years with my friend @RepCarbajal. He and gun violence prevention champion @RepLucyMcBath are leading the way on this extreme risk protection order legislation. Now it goes to the Senate, where it has bipartisan support. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Listening to McCarthy yell at the top of his lungs about a threat to a justice that fortunately was foiled, I can't help but compare it to his reaction to a school shooting that left 19 kids dead last month. He never yells like this about gun violence that kills American children — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: the House just passed the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act, creating a federal "red flag" law. It would also give guidance and grants to encourage states and localities to create, fund, and successfully implement red flag laws. I voted YES; this was the vote: https://t.co/ewhByq1lmh — PolitiTweet.org

Red flag laws empower family members and law enforcement to restrict access to guns, after due process, for those who pose a danger to themselves or others. They are already saving lives in the 20 states that passed them, including Virginia. Here's how: https://t.co/4y9yeGr8lT — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The House is now voting on the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act. It includes ERPO legislation I've pushed as lead cosponsor with @RepCarbajal for years to facilitate red flag laws across the US. This bill is a major step forward on gun violence prevention.

A new low: House Republicans are now blaming the police who defended the Capitol on January 6th for the attack and lying that "they wanted it to happen." January 6th left over 140 members of law enforcement injured, and five have since died. — PolitiTweet.org
