Pious pissant
Mike Lee is endorsing an obviously false conspiracy theory about a guy who STOLE a photo of John Lewis (and a wallet).
Why would Mike Lee debase John Lewis' legacy with such an obvious conspiracy theory? Does @basedmikelee endorse petty theft?

People forget
Living through the administration of Trump was so traumatizing to most people, they have blocked it out of their minds. I truly believe this, because it was one damned thing after another:
Analysis by Dan Balz: Trump may be a performance artist, but with his shocking provocations, he is telling us what he would do in a second term as president. That’s why taking him seriously and literally is required. https://t.co/WWCKs4mx9B

If only
AP: “We are here because, for the first time in our nation’s history, the president of the United States engaged in an insurrection,” Grimsley said, summing up their case. “Now he wants to be president again. The Constitution does not allow that.” https://t.co/sfmZTuucwg

Dangerous to democracy
You may not have noticed the kind of chaos Stephen Miller has been creating via the courts:
"In a world where Trump hadn’t been the vehicle for conservatives to capture the courts, America First’s efforts might be dismissed as quixotic … But now, Miller has a whole host of judges who share his views, & America First Legal keeps racking up wins" https://t.co/Nj9tGZ6uxW

As we wait for Ivanka to return to the stand and not remember anything, a reminder that the J6C effectively referred her for her unbelievably poor recall, as compared to her Chief of Staff.https://t.co/wNc3a6sGyb pic.twitter.com/XVfStscH9O

Dangerous times
Another display of dangerous @HouseGOP extremism.
Despite being pressed 5 times, @SteveScalise won't affirm the 2020 election.
"You just refuse to say, unequivocally, that the 2020 election was not stolen?"
