Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

@rbreich The corporate-owned media that comprises the bulk of the US press is aligned with Republican interests and has no interest in publicizing this.

The milquetoast Democrats in the House and Senate should be pitching an absolute fit about this until Thomas is removed. Refuse to entertain any other business until enough Republicans cross the lines to get it done.
