Senator
Ted Cruz (R-TX) came under attack by critics who saw him doing something with his phone in the middle of the Senate’s first hearing on the storming of the U.S. Capitol.
The Senate Homeland Security and Rules committees held a hearing on Tuesday to examine the insurrection of Jan. 6 and the security failures that allowed former President
Donald Trump’s supporters to violently infiltrate Congress. Former Capitol Police chief
Steven Sund was among the witnesses who gave testimony at the hearing, and as he spoke about intelligence assessments from before the Capitol riot, Cruz was spotted on camera tapping away at his phone.
QAnon congresswoman Lauren Boebert ridiculed for not understanding how the US constitution actually works Shannon McDonagh has subjected her followers to a wealth of misinformation in the name of “draining the swamp”.
When she isn’t getting creative with firearm-themed Zoom backdrops, the Colorado representative appears to keep herself busy with fundamentally misunderstanding the law she promises to uphold.
Her latest tweet has caused some confusion after she argued politicians cannot “rewrite” the constitution to suit their agendas.
As any person required to take a US citizenship test knows, the constitution has evolved 27 times over the years in the form of amendments. It is made to be adaptable to the times it faces, given that it is over 200 years old. But apparently Boebert missed the memo when she was sworn in earlier this year.

QAnon congresswoman mocked for appearing to not know about amendments to the Constitution Tom Boggioni
U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, who has supported the anti-Semitic and dangerous QAnon cult and has ties to extremist groups like the Three Percenters, is being called out after appearing to not know about amendments to the Constitution. Some say Boebert helped incite the January 6 insurrection.
On Thursday the Colorado Republican pro-gun activist appeared in a virtual hearing of the House Natural Resources Committee, and had redecorated her office with a slew of guns as her backdrop.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez launched an ActBlue campaign to help freezing Texans which has hauled in more than $1 million as of last night.
The funds raised by AOC were split between “The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, Ending Community Homeless Coalition (ECHO), Family Eldercare, Houston Food Bank,
and Feeding Texas,” organizations “working around the clock to assist houseless, hungry and senior Texans in Travis and Dallas County, and beyond.”
As Bryan Tyler Cohen noted on Twitter: “The Senator from Texas saw a crisis and escaped to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun. Meanwhile, a congresswoman from New York – whom that TX Senator regularly uses as a punching bag – just raised a million dollars for Texans. One party works for you. The other works for themselves.”
