They tried to overthrow the government, they had a plan, they executed it, and they broke many laws along the way. And the leader of the Party is going to run again. This problem won’t naturally fade away – it must be confronted. https://t.co/b9GtTplDlJ

People are getting carried away by this "exclusive" but it says nothing we didn't know or suspect. More importantly, there is nothing incriminating here. Few people could have known the protest would lead to an insurrection.https://t.co/IuigYACTUu

By the time Trump takes the stage on Jan. 6, he has pulled every possible lever of power to try to stay in power. Courts via Rudy. VP via Eastman. Lawmakers. DOJ. Now, all that is left to stoke, the last lever, is the sprawling crowd before him./end

Who financed the leadup to the Jan. 6 insurrection? @BennieGThompson tells @margbrennan his committee is following the money: "A lot of people came to Washington by bus, by plane, by charter vehicles, they stayed in hotels…somebody had to pay for it." pic.twitter.com/DhP6M5yv4i

Six days after Nov. 3, a Facebook data scientist noticed as much as 1 out of every 50 US views (or 10% of all political views) on the platform were on posts alleging election fraud.

I'm furious about this. We peers put in protection for chalk streams, rivers and our beaches to protect them from the dumping of raw #sewage. Did your MP vote to take out that protection? If so, tell them how you feel! https://t.co/IcTnbTT7m5

I have just retired after 43 years in the water industry and I can't believe what is going on. I've seen massive water quality improvements over the years all driven by European directives only for this government to trash them at the first opportunity.

According to an MP the #Sewage vote was a choice between raw sewage being dumped in the sea or raw sewage coming up through your toilet.
