Including Friedersdorf's comment on the article here because it's a good example of the gnarly issues this is going to raise:
Our existing laws are perfectly sufficient to deal with the criminals who stormed the Capitol, and anyone who doesn't shout hell no to a new domestic War on Terror run by Biden/Harris, with their pasts of zealous prosecutorial excesses, is shortsighted to the point of folly https://t.co/srrnuGWoFn
This seems MAJOR to me! Almost as if the right-wing-nutso meme makers are being policed into non-existence by the capitalist titans of today ganging up on them in order to maintain economic stability. Now they cannot even use Parler which was created to give them a place at the "try to go viral" table
Elections company Dominion Voting Systems is suing former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, who has spent much of the past two months claiming Dominion rigged the 2020 election and was somehow tied to Hugo Chavez, none of which is true. https://t.co/4BNjnxtGlN
Biden was widely expected to choose a Labor Department head who enjoyed the support of unions, given the president-elect's longstanding ties with labor leaders.
REALLY. Doesn't mention the name Biden, but he's throwing in the towel, admits a transition and says rioters will be prosecuted. I imagine someone forced him, they gave him a text, allowed a few edits and put him in front of the camera
EXCLUSIVE: Trump has suggested to aides he wants to pardon himself in the final days of his presidency, a move that would mark one of the most extraordinary and untested uses of presidential power in American history. w/@maggieNYThttps://t.co/ebeJrQEAER
there was also real terrorism being planned while the Capitol kabuki was being performed
D.C. police officials also say two pipe bombs were recovered, one outside the Democratic National Committee and one outside the Republican National Committee. Police found a cooler from a vehicle that had a long gun and Molotov cocktail on Capitol grounds.https://t.co/6fi8cAct19
As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy. https://t.co/k6OkjNG3bM
WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden has selected Merrick Garland, a federal appeals court judge who in 2016 was snubbed by Republicans for a seat on the Supreme Court, as his attorney general, two people familiar with the selection process said Wednesday.
of major note, the president-elect's nominee for Sec. of State has retweeted this news story with a policy statement!
The sweeping arrests of pro-democracy demonstrators are an assault on those bravely advocating for universal rights. The Biden-Harris administration will stand with the people of Hong Kong and against Beijing’s crackdown on democracy. https://t.co/nSj8dr3OEg
At lunch with Trump today, Pence said he doesn’t believe he has the power to do what the president wants during congressional certification. But he indicated he will keep studying it up until the proceedings begin at 1 pm tomorrow. @anniekarni me https://t.co/L27CVH1QNv
Excellent example of how many of our "wonderful" U.S. hospitals operate, "best health care in the world"--bleh bleh. Like with many universities, where P.R. is priority #1 and big squeaky wheels can get immediate grease on problems:
It was always going to be about the virus. Latest @CNN exit polls show that Georgia voters are more concerned about containing the virus than economy. Many have experienced financial hardship and the majority are worried that they/family members will contract the virus. pic.twitter.com/KtYwC49zAh
