Please read it or just follow along in the thread below. (But read it, to form your own conclusions)
The document outlines 121 Members of Congress social media posts. It shows their name, district, state, committees they sit on (ie armed services, intelligence 👀) and social media posts they sent before, during, and after the Insurrection. I place them into one of 4 categories:

Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who was mentioned by name in Sen. Lana Theis' fundraising email, points out that campaign rhetoric can have real world consequences.
What I need the lobby corps to know: Grappling with a colleague accusing you of grooming children, the types of QAnon claims that led a gunman to open fire on a DC pizza place believing that he was saving children, makes it impossible to focus on your client's bills.

Sen. Lana Theis' fundraising email accusing Sen. Mallory McMorrow of grooming seems to be backfiring.

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
