.@senwhitehouse, a senior Democrat on Judiciary Cmte, calls on Chief Justice Roberts “to launch an ethics investigation into Justice Clarence Thomas’s extensive billionaire-funded luxury travel habits and other outstanding allegations of misconduct by Justice Thomas,” per office.

**MEMPHIS** Stand with us in Nashville tomorrow as we continue to urge our State Legislators to adopt sensible gun reform. The link is in our bio, we hope to see you tomorrow! Thank you @tnadvocatespp #TennesseeThree

The Tennessee Three should’ve been cheered, not subjected to votes of expulsion. Gloria Johnson survived by just one vote. Justin Jones was thrown out. The difference? He is Black. This is racist autocracy in service of the gun lobby. Shameful. Democracy is dying in Tennessee.

The dunce trying to play Trump’s lawyer on House Oversight has an issue with Raskin calling him out on his bullshit.

.@dhsoig Joseph Cuffari, under investigation for 2 yrs, reveals in new lawsuit to stop the probe that it has swept in his failure to disclose missing Jan. 6 @secretservice texts: Probe widens into federal watchdog over missing Jan. 6 Secret Service texts washingtonpost.com/politics/20

As I've said before: Gym Jordan has ZERO standing to be issuing subpoenas unless and until he complies with HIS subpoena to testify before the January 6th committee.

Weird how the same people who think the 2nd Amendment means "you can't ban guns" don't think the 1st Amendment means "you can't ban books."

@rbreich
And no more Roman Catholics for a while. We need a few atheists, Buddhists, and Protestants to balance things out. We did it for Black people and women, let's see it for atheists, Hindus and Sikhs, but failing that, let's at least see a few Protestants, who are currently with zero representation on the court, nominated and confirmed.

Having escaped hanging on 1/6, weird spineless slime creature that dwells in dark-money caves to speak at conference of rabid anti-#LGBTQ+ bigots. #USpolitics nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/pe

Tennessee has forcibly removed two of three elected Democrat officials simply because those officials wanted to protect children from unmitigated gun violence

The chamber vote was 72 to 25. Other red states will follow.

In fact, Florida has already made efforts to remove *all* Democrats from future ballots

Republicans are still in the middle of a coup attempt

If the Republican Party in Tennessee are right, does that mean the Democrat Party (in general) can oust those senators who helped incite 1/6? (Or any other R senator they disagree with?)

The Tennessee State House Republicans just expelled Rep Justin Jones. It's a sad day for Tennessee, democracy, gun sense victims & advocates, & America.

MY LATEST: Donald Trump has longed acknowledged his obsession with revenge. After being indicted, he now is fully employing it, and the rest of the right is embracing his politics of vengeance. That could be dangerous. Please read and share this.
