@tusk81 Sure, but the problem with that is that the J6 people really attacked police, but the congresswoman attacked no one and there are lots of witnesses who can say that.
I feel like any reporting on the political charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver needs to include the fact that Donald Trump pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionists that brutally attacked police.

When the midterms come, understand this:

The GOP no longer sees losing as legitimate.

If they lose, they'll claim fraud.

If they win, they'll claim mandate.

But there’s no version where they quietly accept defeat.

The Midterms Are Coming. The GOP Is Going to Cheat.

What the GOP is planning for 2026 and 2028 makes 2020 look quaint.

Thank you, governors.

This is Cory Booker's social media formula for colleagues. No. I want every Democrat to be bursting with public outrage and opposition constantly right now: a deafening chorus of resistance. Now.
