Discussing blanket pardons draws us off of the real issue, the concern that Trump will pervert the criminal justice system & use DOJ as a political tool, which is forcing the Biden administration into these considerations. Don't forget why we're here.

This morning I’m covering the Texas committee that reviews pregnancy related deaths. It’s the first public meeting held since @propublica.org reported its investigations on three TX women who died from delayed care under the state’s abortion ban

I was made for this moment. So were you. We're the ones who are here. There's no one else. Freedom is counting on us. I'm glad. I'm up to it. What are we supposed to do, say we have bone spurs and let someone else bear the burden? Hell no. Too many people before me made the ultimate sacrifice.

Facts.
If the roles were reversed, the House Republicans would hold three press events a day to demand the release of the report and to condemn the opposition for covering up sex crimes.

But most of the House Democrats find partisan displays of politics *icky* so ...
The House voted 204-198 to block release of the Gaetz ethics report. All Dems present voted to release, along with Republican Tom McClintock of CA. Every other Republican present voted to keep Gaetz's violations covered up.

Again, Gaetz is accused of sex trafficking and statutory rape.

Of course it did! All it takes is 1 person on the committee to leak it 👀

Vote to force the report's release goes down along party lines.

All of that tough talk by Mace and the police, and the protesters just got a ticket for obstructing public property like any other protest.

They are paper tigers and their threats are empty. Stand to to them. Courage is contagious.

There is no common ground with Republicans.

Their president-elect is a convicted felon & rapist who openly seeks revenge, gathers like-minded people around him, and wants to stay in power forever.

We don’t need quiet politeness. We need angry, loud, and visible Democrats.

Every. Damn. Day.

I don’t know if we’re allowed to say this but it feels like aside from blind loyalty, Trump is choosing ppl for his cabinet based entirely on telegenic looks. It’s why he went with Kelly Loeffler and Kristi Noem instead of Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example, and why he gambled on Hegseth & Gaetz.
