Liberal, progressive and curious by nature. Tweeting about US & global politics, major events and some random things that spark my interest. #TheResistance #FBR

If scientific findings don't fit in to GOP narratives, it's not science that has become "political".

Hawley and a House member object to Pennsylvania. They’ve adjourned for debate.

Congressional Republican efforts to overturn election continue: Live coverage #3 https://t.co/1tznwa2kDY

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Today is a reminder, a painful one, that democracy is fragile. To preserve it requires people of good will, leaders with the courage to stand up, who are devoted not to pursuit of power and personal interest at any cost, but to the common good.

He attacked his fellow members and forced them into lockdown. I’d think that would be grounds for immediate removal.

NEW: Trump initially rebuffed and resisted requests to mobilize the National Guard, according to a person with knowledge of the vents. It required intervention from White House officials to get it done, according to the person with knowledge of the events.

Here’s my statement on today’s violence at the Capitol.

World leaders condemn attempted coup in U.S. Capitol https://t.co/5DhD0g2zKf

@SenateGOP Given that your party enabled this mayhem, you need to stop calling on others to end this and end it yourselves. Remove Trump now.

[Geoff Price @geoffmprice]

Sounds like Pence did *not* like getting ushered out of the Capitol in tunnels to escape a mob sent by Trump.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Any halfway decent member of the House or Senate who was planning to object to the Electoral Vote count must now desist. They’ve had not just their day in court but months in court. Enough already. This has crossed the line past sedition. It’s domestic terrorism and treason.

I am heartbroken and astounded that this narcissistic and dangerous president would put lives in danger and encourage violent sedition against our government. That man is no longer able to serve as President because he can't accept defeat. Can we afford 2 more weeks? I say NO!

[Siri Vita @SLSiri]

They need to make sure these officers are held accountable. I hope they’ve been relieved of duty and aren’t still out there.

Excited by the fact it's some big-name neo-fascists who are going to do time

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

Today’s shameful assault on our democracy — anointed at the highest level of government — must not deter us from our responsibility to the Constitution. Tonight, we will move forward with the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election.

The photo of Josh Hawley today as he put a fist up in support of MAGA terrorists who attacked our country. The face of Sedition. @HawleyMO

[MoveOn @MoveOn]

Nearly the entire Republican Party stood by Trump as he repeatedly spouted lies about the legitimacy of the 2020 election, encouraging & nurturing white nationalists like those who violently stormed the Capitol. This destruction & chaos is the direct result of those actions.

Kansas City Star Editorial Board says Josh Hawley has blood on his hands. And so does Ted Cruz.
