There was also a draft Supreme Court lawsuit sent to Mr. Engel to review at DOJ, which was highly unusual coming from an outside counsel, and for which there was no legal basis. And a plan floated for the Justice Department to seize voting machines. #January6thCommitteeHearings — PolitiTweet.org

Trump wanted a special counsel appointed to investigate already-disputed "massive voter fraud" and he considered the Louiana Attorney General (who state law precluded from accepting such a role) and The Kraken lawyer, Sydney Powell. #January6thCommitteeHearings — PolitiTweet.org

And we're off! In his opening statement, Chairman @BennieGThompson gives the example of a mayor losing an election and calling the D.A. and saying, "I want you to say these results were a fraud and the election was stolen." Good analogy re Trump. #January6thCommitteeHearings — PolitiTweet.org

The answer to this hell isn’t sexy, y’all. It’s the same ish I’ve been screaming my whole adult life. The majority needs only to BE the majority and vote like it: every race, from school board to state rep to congress to POTUS, again and again and again until you have real POWER. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re cool with that, stay home in November and complain that Democrats can’t overcome the Senate filibuster using sorcery or whatever or that Biden won’t pull his secret gas prices lever and make them magically go down. And see how that works when MAGA is in full control. — PolitiTweet.org

And I’m not saying Democrats are perfect. Far from it. In many ways they’re a pain in the arse; frustrating and slow on the uptake. But — & I can’t stress this enough — they are the ONLY PARTY THAT CURRENTLY BELIEVES ELECTIONS SHOULD COUNT AND PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE — PolitiTweet.org

One side views democracy as war while the other side — the actual majority — treats it as an accessory. This is how nations lose their democracies. Y’all have basically one last chance this year. You need AT LEAST 60 Democratic votes in the Senate; 62-64 to be safe-to reverse it. — PolitiTweet.org

And their utter impunity is the direct result of socially moderate and liberal voters’ passivity and checked out disinterest in active civic participation, combined with right wing Christianist voters’ stolid determination to ALWAYS vote, even for Satan himself, to get their way. — PolitiTweet.org

When you have an ultra right wing Christian* unaccountable SCOTUS majority for whom “originalism” means returning this country to roughly what it was in the 18th and 19th centuries, this is what you get. They genuinely mean to repeal the 20th century. — PolitiTweet.org
