You should switch parties officially and run again as a Democrat. We need more fighters.

This Country needs a Democratic Party that actually has the will to stand up & do something, instead of being more worried about protocol & the high road.

Do they really want that though? I don’t think they do or they wouldn’t have elected Trump. The problem is that I think your version of the GoP is very different than the current version. Honestly, I’m not sure there’s an appetite for your version any longer.

They don’t want to hear truth. They’ll call it “your truth” or “your facts” and complain insanely about some witch hunt or conspiracy where “they” are controlling things and Trump is singled out cause he won’t play ball. Wow. It’s not low information, it is block on block built on lies.

Every potential Democratic candidate who speaks up will be smeared by Trump's DOJ. Trump's call for Zelenskyy to smear Biden in exchange for weapons will be his go-to method of destroying people. Barr and Rudy worked with Russia to destroy Hunter. Expect more of that too. Trump is as evil as Putin.

Well said! Two years to win back the House. Vote blue 2026!

Never should she have certified his win!

I think they are sitting back and letting the country burn! The only way to learn is to suffer

I grossly underestimated how many people want and need to believe lies

We won't be hearing any truths for the next 4 years.

Leaders like you and @lizcheney.bsky.social to continue to defend democracy!

More like a highly transmissible virus.

Remember: leaders who find out their followers are extremely gullible and use that as a weapon are the biggest threat to humanity right now.

True but where can they be found?

And, unfortunately, the deplorable miscreants of the US chose a grifting, knuckle-dragging, self-serving weakling to lead the country. The millions of Democrats who stood on the sidelines and didn’t bother to vote are equally to blame. Yet we all will suffer the consequences.

He'll do nothing but harass the people he hates.

You are 1000% correct

No reasonable person could have predicted this. It’s bananas.

Weebles wobble and yes, they fall down

Respectfully, I just don’t agree that they’re brainwashed. I think it’s easier to think that than it is to accept they’re just not good people. They have taken the opportunity to give in to the hate they have always wanted to give in to based on the delusion they’re sharing in the power.

Perfectly said. Spot on. And with 12+ billionaires in his top ranks, what could go wrong? Everything.

According to Felon Trump, Kamala can make herself President today!!

We need a media that does the same.

And absence a split screen on January 21 we are in dire straits.

It does. But so does arrogance and poor judgment. Please find some women. Preferably older. Many black. Spend enough time LISTENING and interacting as equals before God. It will temper your still remaining Republican attitude, “silly head.” And some of your poor decision making paradigms. Respect.

You’re one of them, Adam.

We’re not off to a good start…

Sadly, with the exception of a few (you, Riggleman, Cheney and a few vocal Democrats), those type of leaders are becoming extinct in our country.

We had our chance

You’re seriously late to the “party” .. action speaks louder now way more than words or a dozen letters churned out ever has .. powers that be found every loophole, the breech that was inevitable because our living constitution hasn’t had a breath blown into for 200 years .. & all of us are to blame

Unfortunately a lot of people are being sworn in today that are not leaders who will tell the truth and not pander to the lies. trump’s making a mockery of our country.

Finally, someone who gets it.

We lost the last republican who was willing to stand firm in his beliefs when John McCain died. I disagreed with him on a lot of issues but I admired and respected both for his military service and his willingness to openly stand for what he believed in. He was a decent and honorable man.

Yeah how many will step up and stay that way,I'll wait

Kamala Harris, certified not only her own defeat. She also, certified the sad fact - crime pays, big time. Lies, dishonesty, subversion & walk over the Constitution indeed does pay. Banana Republic.

The strong are being ruled by mostly rich weak old WHITE MEN and WOMEN. trump already reneged on the promise to lower food prices but will keep his promise to give tax cuts to the rich and pardon MURDERERS. Watch what happens as promises made promises broken. Shit is about to get real people

Their reward is reelection so don't expect any more than that. Speeches on principles are just that and only that. Watch their actions to find what their principles are.

We need democrats to grow some balls and start playing dirty. Their to nice. Enough is enough. Start paying people off and blackmailing. Who gives a shit at this point… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cowardice is contagious. So is courage.

I just went and found this quote, which made me realize "1984" was actually not Science Fiction.

And a media with the courage to not sane wash & give more airtime and credence to what should be perceived as anti-democratic, anti-Constitutional, & perhaps even criminal acts by those in power.

You said it.

We had a chance to elect a couple

And those would be where?

Dear Adam, I'm not convinced our current problem is political. That system failed us. "We the People" have a decision to make. IMHO it's action, not words, that is needed.🔥🔥🔥

Well, apparently, Elon wants his MAGA army to invade the UK. I relish the opportunity to meet these morons.

I feel so sad today.

It also needs a media to do the same. Not roll over.

Adam the United States is screwed by Trump and his crony ultra millionaires and billionaires!!

Thanks to everyone who tried to uphold Justice. 2024 Election needs Special Counsel. One day, EVERYONE will know it www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCpy...

Read: YOU. This country needs YOU, Adam Kinzinger

What a bumpy path we are about to enter. I feel better knowing you are there to guide us. Thank you for your courage and strength to lead us in truth. Salut.

I may not agree with some of your policy choices in the past. But your moral character was evident when you put country before party—and before your own career. I watched every minute of the Jan 6 Hearings…I wish I could have convinced even one other person to do the same. You all did great work.

Thank you for being one of the brave ones

That's true, but "the truth" isn't what this society wants, they only want to believe what they prefer to believe. The truth isn't marketable, no one has any interest in it. They only want what benefits them personally & if it makes them feel superior, all the better.

Donald J Trump and JD Vance and members of Congress who are MAGA Republicans including judges in the United States Supreme Court by aiding Trump have violated their oath of office and constitution. Todays certification is a complete insult to the 14th amendment section 3

Cowardice thy name is DNC

Cowardice is easy - truthful leading is hard. Too many Americans are lazy.

You nailed it. All of us who love this nation must be willing to speak the truth even when so many around us are bowing to lies.

I hope we dont need anything like the French Revolution to get rid of the king.

Switch parties Adam!

This country is in desperate need of leaders with Character. Period. It should once again be a mandatory requirement. #CharacterMatters.

I am a liberal, but if I was president @adamkinzinger.bsky.social would be in my cabinet.

You are appreciated, truly.

This reminds me of the saying “If a tree falls in the forest and nobody’s there to witness, does it make a sound?” There are no witnesses to Trump. No one hears his … treason. It is what it is. Call it that.

If only he WOULD go away! I've had PTSD for eight years now due to him! The media writes more about him than the current POTUS! 😫🤬🤯

Agreed 🤬

Hard to lose honor if you never had any to start with

#NeverForgetJan6

Miss your voice as an elected official. Need your voice more than ever now unelected

Thank you for your courage to tell the truth.

If Trump admitted it was an insurrection, he would have been tried for treason for inciting them. Lies, lies, more Trump lies.

Thank you for educating, even if you don't reach everyone.

Maybe it would help to start the semester with a lesson on identifying propaganda and propaganda techniques. Then referring back to that lesson the rest of the semester whenever they deny factual data.

Hear hear

What is the strategy to attract and elect these good leaders? I feel just posting (irony… doing so myself) is not enough. We are all barking into our own echo chambers. @adamkinzinger.bsky.social , any plans to put your hat back in the ring?

💯

Any country that needs to constantly crow about how it's the "greatest in the world" and spends half its income on the military is clearly overcompensating for a major inferiority complex. Is it any surprise we'd end up with a president who is the living personification of our national inadequacy?

But lies told and lies believed are the currency of the GOP in 2025

We have them and they were rejected.

Thank you for your love of our Country!

"Action is the antidote for despair." Joan Baez was lucky enough to hear her say those words many many many years ago. it has been my motivation ever since.

I’m wondering how the anti-Nazi people in Germany felt in the mid 1930s looking around and seeing all their neighbors going gung-ho on the shared hatred spun up by their new leader

Your country, as well as mine, also needs citizens who are willing to accept the truth rather than choose to believe the lies, because their lives would be more convenient if they were true.

Pandering, fearmongering, propaganda, etc. are what weak cowards do, not true leaders.

DC is full of nothing but cowards now. You, Liz, and a few others are truly the exception!!!

what are your thoughts on #14now argument?

So many Americans are a hard cross between extreme gullibility and extreme cynicism. As a population we’re also divided between monumental dumbness and serious smarts. The extremely dumb worship the thieves with Biblical devotion and despise the honest with murderous intensity.

Today makes me sick. I’m angry and full of rage. I abhor what this country did in November. I seriously want to live somewhere else.

Thank you for having the testicular fortitude to stand up to Trump

Then get your Military comrades together and form a Revolution. You will get more followers than you could ever imagine.

….. and constituents who have the courage and fortitude to believe in and follow facts, science and the Constitution.

If the mainstream media didn't treat Donald Trump like a normal person the last 4 years and treated him like the criminal he was! Also telling the truth about the Biden administration accomplishments and maybe telling the American people how much better we had it compared to other countries!!

That's often forgotten it seems by those in power. People can handle even the worst truths. We can deal with them. But obfuscations, deceit, or downright lies - that stuff we abhor.

😔 it feels so twilight zoneish 😔

💙

He has to fail. That was my point. If he doesn’t fail, they’ll feel justified.

History will remember you (and others who stand up for truth) kindly.

Tragically, truth loses elections.
