How dare you find no evidence of systemic fraud in the election? How dare you not support “the steal”?
Republican Party is behaving the Jonestown cult!

A good guy and a great member of Congress.

We never imagined this could happen: an attack, by our own people, fostered and encouraged by those granted power through the very system they sought to overturn. But as I said in my opening remarks, these officers won—they held the line and defended our democracy.

“Why is telling the truth hard?”, Officer Dunn asks. Because the truth can be inconvenient to the dishonorable among us who allow the pursuit of power to take precedence over principle.

The Jan 6 Special Committee begins work today. It should be a independent bipartisan commission like 9/11 commission but R’s scuttled that.
That day will be etched into my memory. Our symbol of representative democracy was being overrun by thugs trying to overturn election.

.@RepJimBanks I was first surprised you would say this then dismayed. You joining the Trump crowd - why? Espousing the Stop the Steal does not reflect the man in joined Congress.
.@RepJimBanks: "I will never be ashamed to say that Donald Trump is the most effective president of my lifetime."

US DOJ announced today that 45’s continuing to push the Big Lie and he and his acolytes claiming Trump will be reinstated without any election.
They note this rhetoric could lead to violent incidents in August.
Which 3rd world county are we becoming?

READ my statement on my continued battle with cancer. Be assured, I will continue to fight for America and serve the people of #MN01 with the highest level of energy and enthusiasm. I remain upbeat and view the future as bright.

I will continue my occasional political and policy posts. But most of my time and energy is fighting cancer as I have many friends that rely on this updates.
Returned to the hospital a couple of days and off to ICU. Some post surgical issues arose but getting out and home soon

Worth reading. State Senator McBroom investigates extensively and then stands on his principles. Proud of him.

First Sunday home since my enduro stay at the hospital. Having coffee on porch with dogs at our sides and watching sheep graze.
The work to recover continues and the fight with cancer - but getting stronger every day.

I have posted about my oldest son being a LEO in a Detroit suburb. He served almost 11 years but I watched the stress and anxiety build over the last year particularly. We discussed it very often given our respective roles.

Well - that chapter has closed as he resigned to pursue his interests, have more time with his family and, to be honest, his mental health. He has faced numerous assaults and threats and decided he wanted to eliminate those risks in the current environment.

Now - ask yourself how many communities are suffering similar loss of LEO’s across America. We must resolve the roles and expectation of LEO soon folks. Believe that.

I believe a boxing match for Charity between pretty boy @mattgaetz and General Milley is the best answer. I am “in” for $1k on Milley kicking Gaetz’s ass.
23 Jun 2021
Hey, @mattgaetz, see those stripes on Gen Milley’s right sleeve? Each one represents 6 months in combat. SecDef Austin has more, but they aren’t on his suit. You really want to do this?

I see nothing has changed after my 40 days in the hospital. I can no longer be angry but rather truly saddened by @GOPLeader “leadership”. Good God.

.@GOPLeader McCarthy, who still has not met with DC Police Officer Mike Fanone, said today "we gave him the phone number to the scheduler and said 'We’d love to meet with you.' Unfortunately, he hasn’t followed up.”
Fanone says McCarthy's office never gave him that number.
