Bill Barr—the AG when Epstein died—was in the hot seat today. But let me remind you: DOJ owes us the Epstein files beginning tomorrow. All of them. Client list included. (1/2)

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

SCOOP The White House said EJ Antoni—Trump's pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics—went to the Capitol on Jan 6th after seeing it on the news But a now-deleted Twitter account bearing his name shows someone deeply enmeshed in far-right election conspiracies www.wired.com/story/twitte...

So let's get this straight : GOP Gov Mike DeWine of Ohio is sending National Guard troops to DC when cities in his own terribly run state have a higher crime rate than DC.

We must learn from history. By sending the Ohio National Guard to help Trump suppress peaceful protesters, Governor Mike DeWine is betraying Ohioans who said #NeverAgain after the #KentStateMassacre. Ohio’s National Guard Members didn’t sign up to be used so dangerously as political pawns.

Why can they find places to sleep for national guard troops coming from other states to occupy DC, but not for homeless ppl. In Jan 2020, they used hotels for the guard. Will they do the same this time? If so, why is there $ for the army to stay in hotels but not homeless ppl?

South Carolina, Ohio, & West Virginia should have sent National Guard troops to DC before January 6th, 2021 to stop the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol that Donald Trump incited.
