Initial build out

Shawn, we have a need to maintain a list of committee logos, most likely sourced solely from the committee Twitter/X accounts.

Some notes:

• Committees will typically have two Twitter accounts: one for the majority party, and one for the minority party. For starters, we are only interested in the majority party logos.
• Twitter can be known to block IP Addresses if it detects too many web bot style requests. We'll likely need to use the API. I can give you API keys.
• The list of Twitter accounts should be saved as a JSON or YAML file as part of the repo. This allows us to make updates to it with a logging history of those changes.
• The logos themselves should also be part of the repo, in a subfolder called "images/original". We will also have folders for resized versions of the same photos. This isn't crucial for the initial build out though. See this repo as an example: https://github.com/unitedstates/images
• The scraping logic should be written in Typescript. Any API keys should be env variables not saved in the code.

A list of the accounts is forthcoming. I'll post it to this repo shortly.

Tasks:

• [ ] decide whether to use Deno or Node. If Node, run npm run init -y from root of project to create package.json.
• [ ] test and create a png to jpeg script for existing original files
• [ ] create a script which resizes original images to WxH of: 350x425, 200x200, 100x100, 40x40

Suggestions: look at npm sharp library for resizing
