It’s absolutely amazing how much my Republican pals have learned about bird flu this week.
Must have been a class on Monday or something.

Happening now: CT Congressman @jahimes.bsky.social, who witnessed the attack on the Capitol from the House Gallery, leads a special order hour on the House floor on Trump's January 6 pardons

So glad to see so many of President Trump’s supporters touring the capitol today.
I felt really badly as they (and many of my constituents) shivered in the arctic cold yesterday as Zuckerberg, Bezos and the crypto bros got the royal treatment inside.

PARDONED: This disturbing video has always stuck with me. Albuquerque Head of Kingsport TN was sentenced to 90 months in prison for using a stolen riot shield to attack police officers. Thanks to President Trump, he will walk free.
Ugh. Not one day in.
I was stuck in the capitol on 1/6/21. The attack was vicious, violent and an affront to our democracy and law and order. Trump’s decision to pardon is a grotesque abuse of authority and a betrayal of our democracy.
Covering himself in shame on Day 1.
There’s no such thing as bad weather. Just inappropriate gear.
“There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
Especially when those boats are dredging Southport harbor.
Excited to be reappointed Ranking Member of the Intelligence Committee. It’s more important than ever that our agencies are performing rigorous, objective analysis while protecting Americans’ privacy and civil liberties.
Mike Turner is dedicated to national security and thoughtful oversight of the IC. His removal makes our nation less secure and is a terrible portent for what’s to come. The Constitution demands Congress function as a check on the Executive Branch, not cater to its demands.
I wrote about why projects like the Congress Street Bridge take so long and how we can make it better:
Bringing $25 million home for a new Congress Street Bridge in Bridgeport! I’ve been working on this since 2009 – so. much. red. tape. Let’s get this built for the people of Bridgeport!

It seems a discussion is in order of the Laken Riley Act that I happily voted against on the House floor today. It is a bill that served no purpose than to stir up anger. But let’s quickly review why:

. @jahimes.bsky.social makes the case that when Donald Trump says something outrageous to get attention, it's because there's something else going on that he doesn't want to get attention.

CNN: Well, the way Trump pitches it is that when it comes to Greenland for example, it's for national security purposes. Is there any credence to that statement?
REP. JIM HIMES: No. It's bananas. It's insane.
I can feel the economic anxiety lifting like the darkness at dawn.
You see. That’s. How. It’s. Done.
(If you take seriously your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. And care about the peaceful transfer of power in our democracy.)
Just got to the Chamber for the Electoral count certification.
No rioters or insurrectionists out there. No police being attacked. No windows being broken.
I guess elections have gotten much more fair than they were four years ago. #cutofflegsfroggoesdeaf
