And for those of you who don’t, may this bring you joy:
The January 6 committee wants to speak with Representative Jim Jordan about his communication with former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021, and a Democratic lawmaker urged him to offer up “everything” he knows.
Representative Madeleine Dean, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, told Joy Reid on Thursday that she believes Jordan is “running very, very scared.” She criticized his stumbling over questions about when he spoke with Trump and accused him of being a “serious performer” but not a “serious American” because of his lack of cooperation with the investigation.
“He doesn’t care about democracy,” Dean told Reid. “He doesn’t care what happened on January the 6th and the lies that led up to it that he participated in.”
BURN HIM.

There's an older gentleman around the corner with a beautiful rose garden and his white cat. I recently learned he puts out a little food for a local fox and while he's away this Christmas my neighbour is on food duty. Here they are waiting for their breakfast. ???? pic.twitter.com/C8bWdSavSe

A few hours ago, I got a test result that will let us visit family tomorrow. So I’d like to thank the lab technician, data person who put the results in, and the army of people like them working Christmas Eve.
We complain here but are very grateful. ?????????— Juliette Kayyem (@juliettekayyem) December 25, 2021

Remember, dear reader: You may be sad tonight, but you are nowhere near as sad as the man who tried to spoil his kid’s Xmas memory by smart-arsing at the President during a NORAD Santa call…
On a call with President Biden & First Lady Jill Biden intended for kids calling into NORAD to track Santa, a father ended the call by saying "Let's go Brandon," which is code for "F*** Joe Biden"
Biden replied, "Let's go Brandon, I agree."— Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) December 24, 2021
President Grandpa Joe, fortunately, is not the sort of narcissist who greets the young callers by asking if they still believe, ‘Because at seven it’s marginal, right?”
“I told the president fuck you after he was nice to my kid but also I didn’t have the guts to say fuck you so I said let’s go brandon tee hee what a hardass I am he’s so owned” https://t.co/KIukmXrSff
