"He was the chief legal architect behind Donald Trump's pursuit to toss out a fair & free election," House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-CA), a fmr #Jan6 cmte member. "It's laughable that he thinks he has credibility on this issue."

Top House #Democrats have been worried a #Republican-controlled House may try to block a potential #KamalaHarris election victory on #Jan6, 2025.

Do Republicans want to ditch #Santos? If so, we'll need a special election to replace him.

James Carville suggested on MSNBC that Democrats would do well to leave Santos as an albatross around McCarthy's and the #CoupCaucus' neck. He certainly exemplifies how bankrupt the GOP is.

Powerful speech right now by POTUS Biden. At the event honoring those defending the Capitol during the #January6th insurrection coup. Cracking a few jokes as well. A real empathetic human.

In glaring contrast to sociopath fascist-wannabe GOP #CoupCaucus who ravage our House again today. The shame on, and the threat by, Republicans deepens every day now.

Madam Clerk Cheryl Johnson is my favorite thing about this messy House Speaker chaos. She’s keeping her cool while these Repubs run amok. I hope she has a flask in her purse #HouseSpeakerElection #CoupCaucus #WeNeedToTalkAboutKevin

“The Coup Caucus” is exactly right.

So Nicole Wallace rightly called them the coup caucus, BUT now the media even Chris Hayes is now back to calling them the rebel caucus. They're not rebels. THEY'RE SEDITIOUS INSURRECTIONISTS!
