A former Congressman, supporter of #TFG, & founding member of the #MAGA freedom caucus, questions Republican leaders on their decision to likely nominate Trump as their presidential candidate:
"Donald Trump
GUILTY of 34 felonies per jury of 12 random citizens (none sought job).
GOP faces choice. USA future at stake.
Keep Trump as nominee & gamble USA’s future.
OR
Replace Trump with a good character nominee & BEAT THE STEW OUT OF BIDEN!"
-Mo Brooks
I'm very confused. What exactly has this accomplished? The #maga people don't care if he's a felon. And if he can still be elected as president this has really done nothing to prevent a known fascist from taking office. #trump
Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.
Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.
Fmr DC Metropolitan PD Officer #MichaelFanone’s 78-year-old mother was the victim of a #swatting call hours after he spoke outside the criminal #TrumpTrial in #NewYork.
During the #insurrection on #Jan6, Fanone was nearly killed by #Trump supporters while protecting congresspeople & staff inside the Capitol building.
#MichaelFanone suffered a heart attack after being tased multiple times. While unconscious, his gun was taken, he was dragged down the Capitol steps, kicked, beaten w/fists, pipes & other objects, sprayed w/chemicals, & when he regained consciousness he was threatened w/his own gun. In addition to the heart attack, Fanone suffered burns, concussion, traumatic brain injury, & subsequently diagnosed w/ PTSD #Trump#StochasticTerrorism#MAGA#RightWingExtremism#PoliticalViolence#TrumpIsATerrorist
"It's always important to remember there are on the one hand the Nazis who commit acts of violence, and then there are the other good people who are not Nazis, but who want what Nazis want and frame things the same way Nazis do, but who must be understood to have absolutely nothing to do with Nazis, because they are so very good and nice and kind and generous and are in fact very fine."
"Kyiv launches major attack on Crimea naval base using Western weapons
The early-morning attack in Crimea was carried out with weapons from Kyiv's allies - which were "extremely effective", a Ukrainian military source said. Meanwhile, the Russian foreign minister has said he hopes nuclear drills will "knock sense" into the West after jets were pledged."
