Was this all or will there be more witnesses? It seemed as though they wrapped it up. Or was that just for these witnesses?

Im listening to a panel at lunch about MMIW so its a pretty heavy day for me anyway. I probably should have waited to watch this mornings hearing until later.

Tapper just announced that Kinzingers wife is pregnant. I'm not sure how common knowledge that was.

After catching up on that thread, I just feel so glad Jim Jordan was not allowed in that room to be snide and shitty to those men. They heroically risked their lives on January 6th, and now they are heroically telling their stories despite inevitable backlash.

Pretty sure if he had been in there, I would have rage stroked out watching him lie and gaslight them.

I hope MTG, Gaetz, and the rest all went out to eat together after that and end up with food poisoning.

Everything about this makes me so sad and angry all over again. Fuck. Sometimes I just hate people. God bless those courageous officers who spoke today despite what they will hear from the opposition afterward.

Everytown put a graphic out on SM today talking about this being an armed insurrrection. that they collected enough ammunition to shoot every member of the house and senate five times.
I did not realize they had seized THAT much.

Anyone know ETA it’s a rules cmte hearing? Yeah the Rules Committee had a meeting yesterday afternoon and Raskin got in Clyde's face. Clyde basically disembled trying to say only that one video of the rioters in statutory hall looked like a normal tourist visit 🙄😒

You can tell Raskin was still pretty shook by the officers testimony. I applaud him for taking the opportunity to get in Clydes face.

Forgive me if this was posted already, but I hope they are already tracing this call.
Please note 0:57-1:02, the statement and the look. He is not playing and hasn’t been since he began speaking out.

Good for him for speaking out. We owe him a ton of gratitude for working so hard to correct the record even in the face of his own trauma and knowing there are absolute trashgoblins with huge platforms that will exacerbate it.
