A group of unmasked Republican staffers are playing beer pong (but with cups of water) in the halls of Rayburn House Office Building. Presumably their need to demonstrate the exercise of "freedoms" is stronger than their sense of responsibility to justify taxpayer-funded salaries
Hard to show the full scope because it’s a tight space and there are a bunch of people, but it’s about a hundred staff crammed together in a narrow hallway on second floor of Rayburn, almost all unmasked. They’re playing water pong, they have corn hole, I even smelled a cigar.
I do not work in a fraternity house. I don't know why these people felt the need to do this here, but it is terrible and horrifying that displays of decadent apathy are all these people can summon at a time when people are getting sick and dying.
Deleted a tweet naming the nearby offices because one of them called to say they had absolutely nothing to do with this, and I believe them. My apologies!

If you pay taxes in the United States you are paying for this.

Another thing about Offc. Fanone from our meeting- the guy is blunt. He directly told my boss, a Dem who represents him, that he was a Republican. The people who dismiss him as a lefty activist are dead wrong. He's a conservative who feels a deep sense of betrayal about January 6
A whole hell of a lot of people missed the key verb tense here: “was a Republican.”
This was the initial thing

We represent Officer Fanone and have met with him, and I just want to emphasize something that isn't widely appreciated from the story he is telling now, that I asked him about directly:

Officer Fanone was *off duty* on the morning of January 6.
Bear that in mind as you listen.
