"By pushing to excise Liz Cheney, Kevin McCarthy is helping to make the 2022 midterms another referendum on that {orange} loser." –@amandacarpenter https://t.co/g3FF5lwmin

To be clear: The GOP is rejecting Liz Cheney because she (a) accepts the outcome of the election and (b) is anti-insurrection. That’s a remarkable indictment of the party’s core rot. https://t.co/fE0SVdtNew

Liz Cheney made a capital mistake. You should never assume that your back is covered by someone who has no spine. https://t.co/3CME0PILQD

Let me get this fucking straight – @HouseGOP are trying to get Liz Cheney to resign before Matt Gaetz?!

So the logic is it is better to sleep with underage girls than come out against trump?!
This is TRASH! All of it!
Let’s be clear: Kevin McCarthy is throwing Liz Cheney overboard because Donald Trump told him to. This has zero to do with his caucus.

Watch closely what happens to Liz Cheney. If prospering in GOP leadership depends on continuing to perpetuate the Big Lie and refusing to accept Biden legitimately won the election, then they remain an active danger to democracy and a tool of coming political violence.

Every person of conscience draws a line beyond which they will not go: Liz Cheney refuses to lie. As one of my Republican Senate colleagues said to me following my impeachment vote: “I wouldn’t want to be a member of a group that punished someone for following their conscience.”

In ruling for @CREWcrew in a FOIA case seeking an OLC memo related to whether Trump could be indicted for obstructing the Mueller investigation, Judge Amy Berman Jackson says the (Trump) DOJ lied to her by saying it was predecisional when the decision had already been made. /1 pic.twitter.com/e5ZOW5uwdb

NEW: DOJ just turned over to @BuzzFeedNews and I and CNN nearly 300 pages of the supplemental material attached to the FBI 302s from the Mueller probe. @a_cormier_ and I are going through the records now but here's a sample pic.twitter.com/K1JkYvLN45

Donald Trump still doesn't have a Twitter account, and it's unclear if he'll regain access to Facebook tomorrow. But he's setting up a website that will essentially allow his followers to easily share his thoughts on social media. https://t.co/Kus1yyfSl4
