The question at 0:54 and the President’s response is a historically significant moment for the nation. Today and many years from now, this will be used to explain the role of the #FourthEstate in governance. #journalism

NEW: Jan. 6 committee members are increasingly pondering an explosive question: Did Donald Trump's actions — or lack thereof — as a mob stormed the Capitol amount to criminal obstruction of Congress? w/ @nicholaswu12 politico.com/news/2021/12/1…

Ask anti-vax media figures apart from Prager whether they themselves have been vaccinated, and they turn sly, evasive, even abusive - anything to avoid the hypocritical truth businessinsider.com/tucker-carlson…

America's top anti-vax, pro-Putin TV host incited his audience against me last night, I see from the morning load of hate mail. Just remember everybody: the Fox hosts are all vaccinated themselves. It's only their audiences that they are urging toward illness and death.

Here’s the partisan breakout. The reddest tenth is still running 5.7x higher than the bluest tenth. The ratio has hovered between 5.5x to 6.0x since September.

Cheney: Donald Trump Jr. texted Mark Meadows on Jan. 6: “He’s got to condemn this ASAP. The Capitol Police tweet is not enough.” Don Jr. later said, “We need an oval office address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far. And gotten out of hand.” SO, CULPABILITY 😒

As it’s been observed, to implore #tfg to *do something* and call off the #j6 #insurrection …the clear implication is that 45 put it all together and SUPERVISED it. Damning stuff.

@TheRealGWAL Then went on at 9:15! For what it's worth, there is a designated area where you can unlock the pouch and check your phone. Pro tip: wear a watch

I'm a fan of the Yondr pouches, for storing phones during concerts, but implementation needs to improve. Of several Ticketmaster emails ahead of last night's Raconteurs show, none mentioned Yondr. Entry was clogged, people were freaking out about babysitters back home, etc

@navyjagpog @GeorgeCroner @steve_vladeck Neither did Gen George Washington’s troops. (He required it of them). Somehow, in this “Age of Entitlement,” people have lost their way toward civic duty, demanding rights w/o responsibilities.

The witnesses we subpoenaed apparently worked to stage the rallies on January 5th and 6th, and some had direct communication with the former President regarding the rally at the Ellipse directly preceding the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
