“Its obvious purpose is to #obstruct a #Georgia criminal proceeding & to advance outrageous misrepresentations,” #Willis wrote of #Jordan’s letter. “As I make clear below, there is no justification in the #Constitution for #Congress to interfere w/a state #criminal matter, as you attempt to do.”

…the #ultraconservative #Republicans said they will oppose a short-term extension of government #funding… if it doesn’t include a House-passed bill that funds restrictive #border policies. The continuing resolution, they said, must also include provisions that “address the unprecedented weaponization of the Justice Department & FBI” & it must “end the Left’s cancerous woke policies in the Pentagon.”

The #FarRight House Freedom Caucus announced Monday that its members will not support a #stopgap #funding bill to keep the government running past the end of next month unless several of its *conservative* policy priorities on #immigration & other issues are attached.

…#FarRight… Republican(s)… reacted to the #indictment by vowing to try to #cut #funding for the #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith while suggesting…opposing other #LawEnforcement #spending measures as well. With #Republicans already pressing for deep #SpendingCuts & #SocialPolicy reqs that have alienated #Democrats, they will likely have only 4 votes in their own party to spare, meaning just a handful of defections could sink the bills.

The political furor over the #indictment this week of #Trump over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election is spilling into the escalating #CongressionalSpending fight as #conservatives, following TFG’s lead, take aim at #federal #LawEnforcement agencies, raising yet another obstacle to avoiding a #GovernmentShutdown.

"[W]e should recognize that the uptick in baseless attacks on Joe Biden and his son is a sure sign of desperation by Republicans. They know the indictments will weaken Trump among Independents, Democrats, and a smattering of Republicans—enough to matter to Trump’s election prospects. The louder they bellow, the more frightened they are."

In her time in #Congress so far, Rep #AnnaPaulinaLuna has introduced six measures. 5/6 of them are about Rep #AdamSchiff. Sounds like she’s a bit obsessed.

“From the witness table came howls of ‘wrongful conviction’ & ‘fascism.’ From the dais came a cry of ‘tyranny.’ From both came attacks on judges, juries & prosecutors. Audience members were wearing T-shirts saying rioters had been ‘murdered by Capitol police.’ In the hallway, keeping the peace, were two Capitol Police officers, guarding the people accusing them of murder.”

“He impersonated a chairman — ‘you are recognized,’ ‘thank you for your testimony,’ ‘I’ll recognize myself [for] questions,’ ‘her time has expired’ — & the others played along (‘Thank you for the opportunity to testify,’ ‘I yield back.’) Gaetz said testimony could be used ‘for the ofcl record [of the] House’ or for ‘work in the Judiciary Cmte, upon which I serve, or the Oversight Cmte.’ #CSPAN carried the proceedings live.…

Gaetz did his all to make the proceedings look official. There were congressional seals on his nameplate & on the big screen behind him. A meeting room in the Capitol visitor center was arranged to appear like a committee room, w/ lawmakers facing the witnesses. Gaetz advertised the ‘field hearing’ as part of how ‘the 118th Congress is investigating the weaponization of the federal government.’

While there's lots of positive coverage of the #sotu, I find it difficult to watch #performativepolitics regardless of which party is performing.

Matt Gaetz and the Republicans have no desire to do any work for the American people. They are always hollering about Hollywood elites but they share the love of performing with them. It’s all about Performative politics with these nut jobs. #performative #performativepolitics #speaker #congress #houseofrepresentatives #politics
