“The story we’re going to tell tomorrow is that in that time, President Trump refused to act to defend the Capitol as a violent mob stormed the Capitol with the aim of stopping the counting of electoral votes and blocking the transfer of power,” a Select Committee aide told reporters.

During its seventh hearing, the Jan. 6 Committee disclosed that Trump made last-minute changes to his speech and on-the-spot ad libs to inflame the crowd against his then-vice president Mike Pence. Trump changed his approach after Pence announced that he did not have the legal power to unilaterally block the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, the committee revealed.

“We’re going to talk about when he was made aware of what was going on Capitol,” an aide said. “We’re going to hear testimony from individuals who spoke to the president. We’re going to hear testimony from individuals in the West Wing who were aware of what the President was doing.”
One source told the magazine, “they have plans to paint a really striking picture of how some of Trump’s greatest enablers of his coup plot were — no matter what they’re saying today — quaking in their boots and doing everything shy of crying out for their moms."
“If any of [these lawmakers] were capable of shame, they would be humiliated," the source added.
Thursday's hearing will also reportedly feature new video evidence.
"The bulk of the Thursday night hearing is expected to focus on Trump’s actions during the insurrection, including whether he took any action to defuse the riot at a time when lawmakers were under attack," the magazine reported. "But using photos and footage to slap down MAGA lawmakers’ claims of a 'tourist visit' from 'peaceful patriots' is part of a broader effort to bring reality to bear on a fictitious, pro-Trump reimagining of Jan. 6."

To answer your question which I didn't get to answer until early this morning, yes, the Twitter suspension is permanent.
Right wing ChristoFascists are incredibly thin-skinned, like McEnaney and Hannity.
Probably did me a favor, spent way too much time in that snakepit.
Unfortunately it's also infesting YouTube as well. One of my favorite 'channels' for resurrecting old radios called a decrepit old radio a "Brandon" because its model number began with FU and the comment section filled with like minded fascist scum.
I may or may not be able to watch the J6 fireworks live tonight. It all depends if my client is still around at 8PM.
Sophie has adjusted well to her new kd diet. She's not drinking as much as she used to, but still more than normal and I don't think that will change.
Hogan spokesman Michael Ricci said that the governor will not support or vote for Del. Dan Cox in the general election. Asked if Hogan would stand behind the Democratic nominee (whoever that may be), Ricci said he could only confirm today that “he will not support Mr. Cox.” https://t.co/KwYXhOjFpk

They are saying "mild symptoms". I do hope that's accurate.

The issue of public beach & shoreline access has become a really thorny one here in my state lately. And now one of our former clients is in hot water over selling reserves beach spots.
