Excellent advice: "You cannot write meaningful opinion if you don’t listen to what other people are saying, know what they are feeling and be willing to test and question your own assumptions."

Rep. Kinzinger says the #January6thHearing can help U.S. become a stronger democracy than before Jan 6. A worthwhile vision even if it seems naïve. @ChronOpinion

[mankad @mankad]

I never cease to be amazed by how the rioters themselves created the panopticon that indicts them and Trump, including of how they responded to Trump's tweets in real time. #January6thHearing @ChronOpinion

[Michael Lindenberger @Lindenberger]

Proud of fellow Kentuckian, @LeaderMcConnell in his firm determination to do the people's business.

Makes his calculated retreat a few weeks later that much more disappointing. #January6thHearing

[Lisa Falkenberg @ChronFalkenberg]

Sarah Matthews, fmr White House press sec, says: "I've seen the impact that his words have on his supporters. They truly latch onto every word and every tweet." She says Trump's tweet condemning Pence "was him pouring gasoline on the fire and making it much worse." #January6th

[mankad @mankad]

I can’t get over how Cassidy Hutchinson speaks with authenticity in juxtaposition with those who grimace or shrug or try to mask feeling. #January6th @ChronOpinion
