An excellent piece by Renee DiResta @lawfare on the history of HUAC and its resonances today.

"[under HUAC], strident inquisitions and the abuse of subpoena power lasted for decades in the lower house. I learned this after becoming fascinated by HUAC following the receipt of my first congressional subpoena, from Rep. Jim Jordan and his House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government."

Ain't that the truth, smile

The Republican Congress like #jimjordan tried to legally get #twitter (pre #Musk) having _coordination_ with #Biden pre 2020.

Watched #CNN this afternoon where #JimJordan was being asked about Trump's repeated promises to go after his enemies, and Jordan asserted that only Democrats seek retribution, not Republicans. I flashed back to all the retribution THAT JORDAN TOOK PART IN against the #FBI for investigating potential Russia collusion, and whistleblowers for making #Trump look bad during the first impeachment.

That was just 2 examples off the top of my head. Man, this is going to be so bad. 😖

"The state of Texas has spent more than $221 million in taxpayer funds to transport nearly 120,000 migrants to six “sanctuary” cities far north of the southern border, the Washington Examiner has learned."

We have allowed "above the law" politicians like #GregAbbott #RonDeSantis #JimJordan #DonaldTrump for far too long. And so, now they believe they can get over on every front using #Tax $$s to do it.

Openly condemning an American #ally’s success? Vladimir #Putin couldn’t have said it better.

#Trump can win on #character?

What do the just-announced co-chairs of Trump’s #transition team have in common? They both were *witnesses* before the House Select Subcommittee on the [perhaps aspirational?] “Weaponization of the Federal Government” — Rep #JimJordan’s attempt to prove the existence of the [mythic] #DeepState, which has been panned even by sympathetic commentators for coming up empty.
