Let’s be clear:
- Biden wasn’t president. The attack took place on January 6, 2021, two weeks before Biden took office, while Trump himself was still commander in chief.

Trump has rolled out yet another baseless conspiracy theory in his relentless campaign to lie and spread misinformation to the public. His latest claim, that the FBI orchestrated the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and that Biden ordered it, collapses under even the most basic scrutiny.

🚨About 2 hours ago in Chicago. You see peaceful protestors across the street from armed, angry, geared up Trump enforcers. He wants violence. He is getting none of it. ✊🏼 Power to the People ✊🏼

Trump takes a personal plane from Qatar

Qatar gets a training base in Idaho

Argentina gets 20 billion

Our troops are NOT getting paid nor are our federal workers

What exactly are Trump and Republicans' priorities?

Except when Trump bankrupts them with tariffs. Then she will say nothing except for asking the rest of the country for welfare to bail them out.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Trump was president on January 6th, 2020. So, is he now in late-stage dementia – or does he think his followers are exactly this stupid?

Per WSJ, the Trump regime and Bannon are bragging they’re “ruling Congress with an iron fist” and that it is “largely ceremonial” like the Russian Duma.

Shameful. Not what the founders intended. 🇺🇸 @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles
