This is hugely important and cannot get lost. As Liz Cheney said, Jim Jordan was the congressman most involved with Trump’s plans to steal the election. Not only is he unfit to be Speaker, he should be expelled from the House, as I wrote in an @amprog report last April.
It appears there's some confusion on here about Jim Jordan's role in Trump's insurrection plot. So let me leave these here for you:

John Legend: "When Vivek Ramaswamy hears of an indicted child abuser who fled the state rather than face charges, instead of siding with the victim, he takes the side of the abuser…Do we want a man with this sort of depraved moral compass to lead our state?"

I agree with Neera! Vote for El Sayed!
My friends in Michigan: the best way to hold Trump accountable is a Dem House and Senate. That Dem senate could come down to Michigan. Please vote for Abdul El-Sayed. A big tent is important, maybe more important than ever, right now.

The biggest threat to U.S. democracy right now is NOT widespread fraud, but rather the Trump administration's outright disregard for the truth—all to undermine Americans' trust in their elections.

I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

Norway is one of the most democratic and prosperous countries on Earth. Free health care Free college Strong democracy Free press Trump says “Norway sucks” and is a “shithouse country” because it won’t give him the Nobel Prize. Insane. We have a mentally unbalanced president.
Trump says he doesn’t want immigrants from Norway because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize. “Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country.”

Won four contested elections on Republican ticket for Chief Justice of Texas Supreme Court. Third longest serving Chief Justice in state history. Republican. Texas.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: South Carolina deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Elon Musk is dumping half a billion dollars into Republican races. Why? Because Democrats in Congress won’t be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump and will actually fight to lower costs.

This is a lie.
The thing they said doesn't happen is happening again. There is a minimum of 20,000 noncitizens on California voter rolls. Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and secure our elections.

To everyone celebrating Lula’s reelection victory, I just want us to all acknowledge Erika Hilton right here. She’s a Black trans woman who became the most voted congresswoman in Brazilian history this cycle and has been campaigning nonstop for Lula in the second round
Derrotamos a Meta. Derrotamos as bets. Derrotamos os EUA. Derrotamos a milícia. Derrotamos a Faria Lima. Derrotamos a turma do Vorcaro. Derrotamos Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula é tetra, e de virada. Isso é HISTÓRIA, e cada uma e cada um de vocês ajudou a escrever 💗
