[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Let's be clear. If Trump is too dangerous to send out a tweet or a Facebook post, he's too dangerous to be commander-in-chief. Donald Trump must be removed from office immediately and held accountable for his horrific acts of sedition, violence and chaos.

[Mark Takano @RepMarkTakano]

Donald Trump incited an insurrection.

The way to unify this country is by holding him accountable.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The President of the United States tear-gassed peaceful protestors in order to clear the way for a useless photo-op outside the White House—just after vowing to activate the military against our own people.

Lives and our democracy are in danger.

[SPJ Rio Grande @SPJRioGrande]

Attacks against journalists – or any peacefully assembled members of the public – are unacceptable, unconstitutional, and are a threat to the democratic foundations of our society. An open letter from

[Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings]

When we impeached this president, we warned that he was a dictator in waiting.

I believe now what I believed then: this president is a threat to our democracy, our families, and to us.

@JamesDSteinberg requested a poem on the crisis. Here's the beginning, Jim. It's too long, so send your email in a PM and I'll send you the poem. All are welcome to request.

A cauldron of Covid

Sniffle, snuffle, cough and splutter;
Sputum sprays and virus splatters.

After 38 fantastic years in the newspaper and news business, my time comes to an end tomorrow. Spending today at Daily Bulletin office in Cucamonga, the heir to the Pomona Progress Bulletin, where I started as a sports stringer in 1981. I was paid $12 per game story.

@GuyMcCarthy Right on! I have a motorcycle a tent and a sleeping bag. The road beckons.

One of my fondest memories and strangest duties as an editor at The @pressenterprise, grinding off some bent bodywork from a reporter's car so he could keep driving it after his accident. @johnasbury
