January 6 House select committee hearing: Day 1

Jan. 6: GOP's Kinzinger delivers powerful statement

"As a country, it's time to learn from our past mistakes, rebuild stronger so this never happens again, and then we can move onward," Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Tuesday

Officer Aquilino Gonell is yet another example of how no one believes in America more than immigrants, the people who made a conscious choice to buy into the idea of America. It's a far more powerful patriotism than the kind that reduces America to "no one tells me what to do." - Julia Ioffe

Liz Cheney Is Slowing Loading Her Gun

Rep. Liz Cheney believes that her fellow Republican member of Congress, Rep. Jim Jordan, “may well be a material witness” to the investigation into the Capitol attack on January 6th.

Cheney is, of course, the ranking Republican member of the Congressional committee who has been at political odds with former President Donald Trump and the majority of Republican members of Congress who have been opposed to a nonpartisan commission looking into the attack on January 6th.

I’m no Liz Cheney fan but I hope she makes Jim Jordan cry. - OhNoSheTwitnt

 

You know who else have PTSD, flashbacks and panic attacks? The journalists who documented what happened on January 6. We owe them a debt of gratitude.  Nobody ever thanks them. - Sandi Bachom

George P Bush Wanted To Be Trump-Lite. How Did That Work Out?

Former President Donald Trump rewarded George P. Bush’s conspicuous loyalty by endorsing Ken Paxton, Bush’s opponent in the race for Texas attorney general.

Trump made the announcement Monday night in one of the email statements he now uses in place of the social media platforms from which he has been banned

Trump not endorsing George P. Bush for Texas AG after Bush betrayed his father, turned his back on his family name, and pledged his loyalty to Trump, is some real Game of Thrones type sh*t. - Jeremy Newberger

I hope and pray these officers have protection when this is over

Gotta say, I'm seriously concerned. - Billysthought tweet

In My Humble Opinion, Republican Voting Restrictions Will Equally Hurt Both Republicans and Democrats, Especially Seniors

One in every three states across the nation have passed new laws restricting access to the ballot in the wake of the 2020 elections, a torrid pace that showcases the national battle over election reform.
