Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”
Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

I deliberately waited for reviews of Trump's address last night to gauge my interest in watching it. It's nice to hear from trusted sources that I didn't waste my time.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Yesterday, I had a family friend attempt to police my language for saying "Fuck Trump".
If policing my language on a public forum is more important to you than addressing injustice, civil rights, and the erosion of American values, we are not going to find productive dialogue.

As congressional hearings go on in public today and can be watched live online by everyone, Jack Smith is testifying behind closed doors despite his written request to appear in public because Republicans don’t want the American people (again) to hear him destroy their lies.

The profound way these badges and ribbons weigh on me as we watch the guardrails fail, and authoritarianism/kleptocracy rise, in this country is the most surprising part of my service.

Man, if you really think about it, the conspiracy theorists kind of were right about everything lol…
Trump really did send the military into a state with no authorization.

As a veteran, seeing the taxpayers on the hook for payout for treason money is sickening. I'm disgusted by Trump's instructions to pay this settlement out.

Make no mistake, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are destroying the credibility of the Department of Justice by sending its lawyers into court to make absurd legal arguments and repeated factual misrepresentations.
