Evidence the government obtained in the investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol most likely meets the bar necessary to charge some of the suspects with sedition, Michael R. Sherwin, the federal prosecutor who had been leading the Justice Department’s inquiry, said in an interview that aired on Sunday. The department has rarely brought charges of sedition, the crime of conspiring to overthrow the government. But in an interview with “60 Minutes,” Mr. Sherwin said prosecutors had evidence that most likely proved such a charge. “I personally believe the evidence is trending toward that, and probably meets those elements,” Mr. Sherwin said. “I believe the facts do support those charges. And I think that, as we go forward, more facts will support that.” Evidence in Capitol Attack Most Likely Supports Sedition Charges, Prosecutor Says nyti.ms/3tMXpMh

I was reading this article this morning and I see so much of this in my own upper middle class suburban community. It's frightening how these people glean onto conspiracy theories and lies and then have the money to throw at exacerbating the same lies and conspiracies. They act like the pandemic is the fault of democrats, that we should have kept the economy open (deaths be damned) and 1/6 was about free speech. I'm still a part of my old neighborhood fb page, where one guy legit thinks that Trump is still president. I won't get into how they call themselves "christians". Dallas is definitely not a one off in this clusterfuck. www.washingtonpost.com/national/dallas-suburbs-capitol-riot/2021/03/21/468646f2-8299-11eb-ac37-4383f7709abe_story.html"The rioter next door: How the Dallas suburbs spawned domestic extremists"

Anyone watching DC statehood hearing?
Comer says it is unconstitutional and is picking quotes out of context. He doesn’t want to be out Ded in all the branches of government...basically.

My brain doesn’t work good when listening to bill shit. Apparently the founding fathers wanted DC to be a place for slaves to wait on people who lived and wanted to be entertained there without being represented, so we should stick with their plan.

I feel like someone should just play the Hamilton room where it happened scene and point out the capitol in fact used to be in a represented place.

Mr Hice is concerned about gerrymandering and the security of the US Capitol.
Mr Hice voted with the Insurrectionists.

DC CAN'T BE A STATE, IT DOESN'T HAVE A SINGLE CAR DEALERSHIP.
Bro, PG County is like three minutes away from the Capitol.

Hice: DC has no prison! We cannot allow this because no adult cages.
No dealerships! No airport! So many things they don’t have and so we cannot allow this. Blah blah blah

I did not realize that the definition of "State" included "must have the following: car dealership, prison, and an airport."
....
Funny that these are the same people that decry the "intent of the founders" on other issues but yet if someone pointed out that the founders would never have anticipated car dealerships or airports as part of a statehood's identity....

Didn't Georgetown have a Tesla storefront? Do we need to fact check the no car dealerships?

She recently had government classes, so I was kind of huh about it. I meet a lot of disillusioned twenty somethings who don’t care about politics. 😞

All these guys arguing that DC residents don't need or deserve representation should forfeit their district's Congressional seat for one Congress and then we'll see how they feel about representation.

Well you know the Brits took the airports in the Revolutionary War (according to 45) /s

Fitzroy Lee coming prepared with the you can’t say that finances won’t be managed through the federal pocketbook because laws haven’t been written yet because it isn’t a state.
Mainon Schwartz: thanks for inviting me for this hearing and congress having this constitutional power to make DC a state. She is talking about judgement vs constitution.

Jen is also up. the Congressional Delegation apparently released their photos of the holding centers.
There are a lot of questions regarding minors and migration and strategies to mitigate them coming here.
