A huge deal: Electoral Count Act reform has made it into the omnibus! Don't overlook this key point: By supporting ECA reform, Senate Republicans are essentially admitting that just about everything the 1/6 committee documented about Trump's coup is true:

The GOP is quietly ‘Trump-proofing’ our system behind his back

Senate Republicans appear poised to back legislation preventing a 2024 coup.

@rbreich there’s no question the senate GOP knows the 1/6 committee is right, but what scares the hell out of me is all of the house gop members who voted against it.

@gambit_1 @rbreich
I am not as worried. They will lie and say they voted against the whole omnibus bill, not the electoral count act.

But we know the truth.

@rbreich This is a relief. Let's hope it is air tight.

@rbreich They know it's all true because they witnessed it firsthand.

@rbreich the all knew. They all tried pushing all his lies and helped him with what ever he demanded. They all licked his shitty diaper! I am so glad that it’s all out in the open!!

@rbreich They’re fighting the last war. Why is Trump cozying up to Nazis? Because they’re the ones willing to take up arms on his behalf, in the states if necessary.

@rbreich why do you think Ted Cruz, Kevin McC, Goetz, Boebert, etc are fighting it?

@rbreich
Are they admitting fault or crafting a diversionary narrative?

If they just now make illegal the things that Trump did, I expect them to say "those things were not illegal before but maybe Biden would like to use them so we fixed it."

@rbreich Someone needs to remind AOC which party she is supposed to represent.

@rbreich EVERYONE, except the GOP, knows the GOP lied to Americans.

If only they had the guts to admit it.

@rbreich So signified "State Republican's" & Old/ New Tories vacillate like leaves in a Typhoon. The fact that those who voted for 🎺 & it's ToryBrexitfluentFascist's variant, Bogus Jonstoned. Botb living the lifestyle's, Alan Capone's & people who stole a bottle of 🍼 are jailed for. Leads me to conclude Madcow Disease is Rampant.
