Five years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.

This is a must-watch video by @npr.org's @tomdreisbach.bsky.social who sat with @semperwry.bsky.social & @michaelfanone.bsky.social as they narrated their body-cam footage from 1/6

A necessary reminder of the disgusting stain on American history perpetrated by Trump & MAGA

Trump calls Jan 6 a “day of love.” This bodycam footage shows otherwise.

Never forget that 5 years ago today Trump sent an angry mob of MAGA lunatics to attack our Capitol.

It was a deadly insurrection which not only cost lives, it cost the taxpayers a whopping $2.7 billion in damages.

All this because a maniac refused to accept that he’d lost an election.

Thought it would be a good time to check in on this case: Marco Rubio buddy David Rivera, who was indicted 3 years ago for attempting to broker a deal for Maduro.

Devin Nunes and others linked to Trump Media & Technology Group (Truth Social owner) recently became officers and investors of a company soon after it made an unsuccessful $10 billion bid for the US assets of Venezuelan-state-owned Citgo Petroleum. My latest:

This is a crucial line from Mamdani

Mike Johnson-for one-is very polite. Yet his policies will likely kill millions of Americans. Cutting Medicaid and failing to extend the ACA subsidies alone will cause over 51,000 to die. Per year

He should be forever hiding in shame. Instead-he’s House Speaker

MAGA doesn’t follow Trump because they think he’s a brilliant businessman or a tough guy. They follow him because he’s convinced mediocre, insecure people that their ignorance and stupidity are actually strengths, and that absolutely nothing is their fault. He gives them permission to be hateful.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

We did it! We got enough signatures to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Imagine how furious Mike Johnson is going to be when we pass this!

Now is the time to pressure your Members of Congress and help us get it done!
