here's a worse one:
Congress failing to pass the #AfghanAdjustmentAct is a complete betrayal of our veterans and Afghan wartime allies. 🧵…

boooooo. (not the worst omission by any means, but one that affects me personally)
New: Lawmakers have left a proposal to make the judiciary's PACER online court records system free out of the sprawling, $1.66 trillion spending measure unveiled today, a setback for advocates as the current Congress nears its end. @[email protected] https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/no-free-pacer-us-lawmakers-exclude-proposal-spending-bill-2022-12-20/

No free PACER as U.S. lawmakers exclude proposal from spending bill
U.S. lawmakers have left a proposal to make the federal judiciary's PACER online court records system free out of a sprawling, $1.66 trillion spending measure <a href="/world/us/us-congress-advance-17-trillion-govt-funding-bill-2022-12-20/">unveiled on Tuesday</a>, a setback for advocates as the current Congress nears its end.
The 4 members referred to Ethics Committee are Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, and Scott Perry. #January6.
ICYMI: this report from my @pogowatchdog colleagues Liz Hempowicz and David Janovsky explains the legal importance of the #January6 Committee's findings referring President Trump to DOJ for aiding insurrection. https://www.pogo.org/report/2022/11/the-constitutions-disqualification-clause-can-be-enforced-today#heading-3
The Constitution’s Disqualification Clause Can Be Enforced Today
Legal processes at the state and federal level can be used to ensure that those who engage in insurrection do not serve in public office. The January 6 Select Committee can aid these efforts by offering some key findings in its final report.
PwnallthethingsThe referrals go to DOJ, who can either open a new case, add them to existing cases (or reject them), with a view to bringing an eventual indictment and prosecution if, in their view, the evidence is likely to lead to a guilty verdict.
The insurrection case is separately interesting: it is a plausible 14A Section 3 hook for barring DJT from office directly; the exact requirements for invoking it aren't clear, and will prob be litigated based on this referral whether or not an indictment occurs

If you see a #plancpills sticker in downtown El Paso or the Dallas airport, tell Greg Abbott it was me….
