The violence at the Capitol today was an attempted coup and act of insurrection egged on by a corrupt President to overthrow our democracy.

I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences. They have broken their sacred Oath of Office.

I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion.

The Associated Press calls the second Senate runoff for Democrat John Ossoff. Democrats will control the House, Senate and White House.

If this was BLM there would already be a drone strike.

The protesters didn't hang a US flag from the Capitol balcony. They hung a Trump flag.

Cops are taking selfies with the terrorists.

A Jewish teaching says those who die just before the Jewish new year are the ones God has held back until the last moment bc they were needed most & were the most righteous. And so it was that #RBG died as the sun was setting last night marking the beginning of RoshHashanah

Some things we've learned about arrested demonstrators today:
— Nearly all from Northeast Ohio, none from out of state, according to court records & a jail roster.
— Prosecutors are holding onto phones of felony defendants to search them.

Journalism is an important role I take seriously because I know information can get unintentionally filtered from the event to the people. That’s why I want to make it a point to note that many different things were happening at the #GeorgeFloydprotest that might get overlooked

Terrifying and horrifying experience trying to support protesters in Columbus today. Police officers with badge numbers and body cams covered with tape. I watched the police mace a child. #columbusprotest, we need #justice, we need #change, #BlackLivesMatter
