I packed this poem w/rhythm & rhyme so Americans of all ages won’t forget the bloody attack launched on our Capitol four years ago on #January6. Please share w/young people who might not remember.

The Capitol Coup
by Mimi Plevin-Foust

He built the bomb.
He lit the match.... (1/10)

Insurrectionists crowd door to U.S. Capitol as helmeted Capitol Police file out on January 6, 2021.

“The #InsurrectionAct requires a violent rebellion trying to take over the government that does not exist, doesn't exist in Portland, DC, Chicago, L.A., anywhere. But they like the power that these emergency, laws provide to them…And so they lie about the factual circumstances” - CA AG Bonta to me

Congress, do your job.

It's fair to say voters who value democracy failed us in 2024.

The US now has more unemployed workers than job openings for the 1st time since April 2021 — why this single ‘turning point’ signals trouble ahead | www.msn.com/en-us/money/... Under Dems the economy grows about 4.4% every year since 1960's. Under GOP 2.2%.
They screw up everything!

@borowitzreport.bsky.social reveals unexpected risk of indicting Jim Comey, i.e., Will 2/3 of SCOTUS wind up on trial next?? #TheyAllLied

Indicting People Who Lied to Congress Would Overcrowd Prisons, Experts Warn

The result would be mass incarceration on an unprecedented scale.

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no.

Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

We can’t wait to show up for that!

incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Other prosecutors are investigating former CIA director John Brennan, another prominent Trump critic, and former FBI director Christopher Wray, who was originally appointed by Trump but enraged conservatives who came to believe he had wielded the bureau’s powers against them. Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

We used to accept thousands of refugees from Myanmar, now that's all come to an end and instead we're getting white Afrikaners.

Afrikaners are not refugees. If you're college educated, you have options. They can restart without help from the American people.

The people of Myanmar are starving.
