"Our Committee had the opportunity last Spring to present much of our evidence to a federal judge… The judge concluded that both former President Donald Trump and John Eastman likely violated two federal criminal statutes."

Second, we believe that there is more than sufficient evidence to refer former President Donald J. Trump, John Eastman, and others for violating Title 18 Section 371. pic.twitter.com/A3PjtlnpE2

The fourth and final statute we invoke for referral is Title 18 Section 2383. This statute applies to anyone, who incites, assists, or engages in insurrection against the United States, and anyone who āgives aid or comfortā to an insurrection. pic.twitter.com/pgEALKK2Vp

The panel named five other Trump allies ā Mark Meadows and the lawyers Rudolph W. Giuliani, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark and Kenneth Chesebro ā as potential co-conspirators with Mr. Trump in actions the committee said warranted Justice Department investigation.

The Justice Department must apply the same standard of law to Donald Trump as they would to any citizen.
That's what Attorney General Garland promised to do.
And the country will hold the Department to it. pic.twitter.com/UcK1HnV4ZJ

Pittsburgh and Penn State are in deep mourning this morning . The great Steeler running back and all-around good guy, Franco Harris has died. He was set to have his jersey retired at Saturdayās game, only the third Steeler ever given that honor. It is also the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, which set him on his path to greatness:

Blue America pays for mooching Red America.
And, over all, we are okay with it.
The thing is…
If Red America was in the financial drivers seat….the level of cruelty they would bestow upon Blue America…
You know it…I know it….

NEW: Kevin McCarthy is struggling so much with his bid to become Speaker of the House, that he has resorted to gathering 54 of his most ardent supporters to advocate for him. But he needs 164 more members to become Speaker. Oh, the Republican Party is in such disarray right now.

People really need to understand how mainstream it has become in some tech VC circles to argue that journalism itself is dangerous as an idea and should be abolished, and that it will be up to the tech world to carry this out.

There’s a deep belief that the defining battle of our time is bw tech companies that want to liberate us and dying institutions like the newsmedia trying to halt that progress out of a desperate bid for survival. Only by destroying those institutions can big tech save humanity.

Prepping for the upcoming storm.
Already ordered 2 bags of salt and a new shovel. They’ve already been delivered.
When I tell you that I’m not leaving my house until the storm is over?
You best believe that.
