@POTUS Gravely disappointed, President Biden, saddened, let down by you for not taking a stance around trump's impeachment. You have been almost completely silent about it. Why? Will you not be a voice for accountability?
No member ought to be permitted to engage in the kind of behavior that Rep. Greene has and face zero consequences. Tonight this House has an opportunity to take a stand for truth and decency. Let us not do nothing. Let us do the right thing. https://t.co/PlBuWROK16

"Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished.We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one"
Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
Nice to see Eugene Goodman, the U.S. Capitol Police officer who faced down a mob on Jan 6 during the attack on the U.S. Capitol escorting VP Kamala Harris at the inauguration

Panic buttons were torn out before rioters stormed the Capitol last week. Sarah Groh reached for the panic buttons as the mob attacked but found they weren't there and appeared to have been ripped out.

The full extent of the assault on the U.S. Capitol is coming into sharper focus, with scenes of violence so vast they are difficult to grasp

Republican Rep. Tom Rice on his vote: "The President has not addressed the nation to ask for calm. He has not visited the injured and grieving. He has not offered condolences. Yesterday in a press briefing at the border, he said his comments were 'perfectly appropriate.'"
Accountability is essential. The House just impeached Trump for inciting an insurrection. This is unprecedented, but so is a president urging a mob to attack the Capitol to keep himself in power. McConnell needs to bring the Senate back to begin the trial, NOW.
Thank you congressmen and congresswomen who voted to impeach and therefore showing that our leaders must be held accountable and are not above the law.
"the biggest betrayal ever by any president to his country"- Stency Hoyer, House majority leader, calling for accountability and impeachment..calling congress to "reject fidelity to 1 man over fidelity to one's country" #impeach
this is awful: beaten with clubs, sticks, crutches, dragged down a flight of stairs and...1 officer suffered an apparent heart attack after he was hit six times with a stun gun
Beaten, sprayed with mace and hit with stun guns: police describe injuries to dozens of officers during assault on U.S. Capitol https://t.co/NInIhbO0l1
