I’d also like to remind people that we have an existing thread for Mike Lindell in P&E, and this new bit of news is perfect for that thread. The thread started when Mike was kicked off of Twitter, so being denied the opportunity to testify before the committee is in the exact same vein.

> Twitter has banned the account of the corporation MyPillow after founder Mike Lindell used it to circumvent an earlier personal ban from the social media platform. He used it to call out Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for “canceling” him. Lindell’s personal Twitter account was banned last week. Lindell is a follower of former president Donald Trump and has continued to issue baseless claims that the election of Joe Biden was fraudulent.
