Donald Trump is waging war against Colorado children and their families, just because we are enforcing the law and holding Tina Peters accountable. This is unconscionable — and our leaders need to fight back.
New: Colorado is one of five Democratic states that the Trump administration is targeting with new federal funding freezes, according to multiple media reports.

The freeze will halt nearly $10 billion to help with child care, social services and low-income families.

Thanks to @talkingpointsmemo.com for the terrific suite of articles on what Jan. 6 really was. Here's the report Greg Downs and I wrote for the J6 committee, in which we cast that day's events -- and the response to them -- as part of a very long struggle over democracy in the United States
This statement by two experts on Civil War- and Reconstruction-era America was drafted for the Jan. 6 Committee but not included in its public report. A powerful read, it connects the political violence of the 19th century to today.

There are so many legal minefields in this post by President Trump that I don’t even know where to start.

Most people don't pay attention to politics and partisanship is often a mishmash of identity and inherited loyalties. And that's why I tend to blame the 5m Dems who stayed on their couches--and especially those who influenced them--more than the right-wing CHUDs who voted as you'd expect them to.
Reporter: There's a revisionist history on the White House website, posting an entire timeline in which they are quite explicit in putting blame on Democrats and others for January 6th and the prosecutions. There is a reference to the greatest election theft in history, Mike Pence's act of cowardice

There are only 218 Republicans left in the House.

Make them produce a majority every day, every hour, for every thing.
Rep. Doug LaMalfa,who died this morning, was one of 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election.

It was defining moment of his political career—one that must not be forgotten on the anniversary of January 6.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.
