Bannon played a central role in helping Trump plot his coup/insurrection trajectory here as well. All the more important for Special Counsel Smith to include Bannon in his investigatory sights — along with Trump, Giuliani, Stone, Eastman, and Chesebro — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP will look like the hypocrites they are if they condemn this Trump-inspired violence in Brazil and like wusses if they condone it by staying silent while opponents of fascist overthrow condemn it. Catch 22!! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Failing thus far to make Trump pay any price for his central role in fomenting the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol no doubt encouraged if it didn’t directly cause this violent attack on Brazil’s Government. Only full accountability can stem the virus of violence — PolitiTweet.org

This is absolutely staggering. Just listen to how @RepAdamSchiff learned exactly what #KevinMcCarthy is made of. If it doesn’t turn your stomach, you’re made of sterner stuff than me. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the resolution to set up a Special Subcommittee of House Judiciary to hound — er, investigate — the investigators (including those investigating the coup/insurrection leading to Jan 6) https://t.co/Zd1QDxyW1L — PolitiTweet.org

If the MAGites “put Biden to the test—indeed, long before then—he must announce that the debt ceiling will not stop him from doing his constitutional duty.” This definitive analysis describes my evolving thinking on the subject: https://t.co/BZjaLUvJUG — PolitiTweet.org

The #KevinMcCarthy strategy: Dismantle the House to lead it as Speaker-in-Name-Only, given the Straitjacket he had to climb into in order to claim the title he so craved. To become what he fancied would be Emperor, he had to take off his clothes in advance. Not a pretty sight. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The debt ceiling is a misnomer: it does nothing to cap spending but just creates an illusory threat to stiff our creditors — illusory because Sec 4 of 14th Amendment forbids defaulting on the nation’s debts, but still reckless: it terrifies lenders, who then spike interest rates. — PolitiTweet.org

@Timodc (#TimMiller) has just the right moniker for #KevinMcCarthy: SPEAKER IN A STRAITJACKET — PolitiTweet.org

In case the font is too small for you to read the title, @RepKatiePorter is reading “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k.” — PolitiTweet.org

216 > 1/2 of 428, so #KevinMcCarthy is elected Speaker with 216 votes, less than a majority of the 434 members-elect present, because 6 voted “present” and 212 voted for #HakeemJeffries. And so it went on this historic but dark night, inaugurating a dangerous era of nihilism. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

When #KevinMcCarthy becomes Speaker with 216 votes, it brings to mind that #NancyPelosi likewise became Speaker with that same number, proving that total numbers tell only a small sliver of the story. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This is the 5th highest number of ballots for Speaker of the House in U.S. history. No other Speaker selection since well before the Civil War has gone as far as the 15th ballot, and only four since the Founding have gone farther. What #KevinMcCarthy owes #MattGaetz is scary. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

#KevinMcCarthy will be elected Speaker on the 15th ballot not long after midnight as January 6 turns to January 7. But it’ll be a Pyrrhic victory, resulting in a House of Representatives barely worthy of the name. — PolitiTweet.org

“Even the positive aspects of the way we tip now highlight the injustices in our modern economy. A rise in tipping benefits workers but perpetuates a system in which employers can pay workers unfair wages and ask customers to make up the difference.” https://t.co/4F8YqX9Oa7 — PolitiTweet.org

“Frantic and deranged, Trump made every possible effort to upend American democracy. The violence, the bloodshed, was for him an added bonus.” https://t.co/16QEZSvt9b — PolitiTweet.org

“We all look like domestic terrorists now.” Those words of Hope Hicks, one of Donald Trump’s most loyal aides, in a text she sent to Ivanka Trump’s chief of staff on January 6, 2021, are “a fitting epitaph for the Trump presidency.” https://t.co/16QEZSvt9b — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone who becomes Speaker after all we’ve witnessed will wear a straitjacket so tight that the position is powerless — a mute portrait hanging on a wall, doing the bidding of the most nihilistic, anti-government, pro-chaos members of the body. The House is divided against itself — PolitiTweet.org
