This is the first time in the country's history that the core constitutional process of the transfer of power has been disrupted by force. Of course the Civil War was a vastly greater breakdown. But the South didn't try to prevent Lincoln's inauguration. They seceded.
The problem here isn't Donald Trump. If he were ranting alone, none of this would matter. The problem is the Republican Party that is indulging him, and trying to electorally profit off him, no matter the cost to the country.
As in past transitions, continuity of leadership is necessary to ensure that the Biden administration is prepared on Day One. Secretary Pompeo’s remarks & Trump’s dismissal of key national security aides undermines our national security & continuity of government. It must stop.
Can the press please stop referring to people like Rudy Giuliani and Michael Cohen as Trump's personal lawyers? Just because he says they are his lawyers does not mean they are actually practicing law or providing legal services.
San Franciscans have done a good job following public health guidance and making smart decisions to keep our community safe, and we're now assigned to the State's Yellow tier. This means we can continue making progress on reopening, but we must remain vigilant.
@BrokeAssStuart Texting and phone banking for Biden and taking calls as a volunteer attorney for the @866OURVOTE hotline. Also having truly uncomfortable and frustrating conversations with any Trump supporters I come across, even if it’s a lost cause.
Thank you to Govenor Newsom for signing AB 1525 (Jones-Sawyer), which will incentivize banks and credit unions to provide banking services to the cannabis industry. @GavinNewsom@R_JonesSawyer#cannabisbanking
