When corporations and the wealthy want tax cuts, or when there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court, Senate Republicans move at the speed of light.
But when American families are in dire need of help, they ask, what’s the rush?
COVID relief is needed. Urgently. It’s time to act.
JUST IN: Former first lady Michelle Obama calls on tech companies to permanently ban President Trump from their platforms and put policies in place “to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection.”
What we witnessed yesterday was not dissent — it was disorder.
They weren’t protestors — they were rioters, insurrectionists, and domestic terrorists.
I wish we could say we couldn’t see it coming, but that isn’t true. We could.
A number of Administration officials are resigning in protest to Trump’s horrific acts of sedition yesterday. Not good enough! The Vice President and cabinet members must invoke the 25th amendment NOW and remove Trump from office before he incites more violence and chaos.
There is no evidence that the antifa movement — a loosely organized collective of antifascist activists — stormed the Capitol on Wednesday. https://t.co/YD3PlqDlGI
The fact that President Trump and his followers didn't succeed today doesn't change the facts: Members of Congress who wanted to set aside the Electoral College slate, and agitators who stormed the Capitol, were involved in a failed coup attempt.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the Cabinet should stop hiding behind anonymous leaks to reporters and do what the Constitution demands they do: invoke the 25th Amendment and remove this President from office.
First of all, if you didn’t think this was going to happen then you didn’t understand the point of the protests in June.
Second of all, if you are the type of person that had a “hard time” understanding what your white privilege is or what it means: Here you go.
I am calling for @OversightDems to immediately pursue a full & transparent investigation into today's terrorist acts & those individuals & agencies who enabled them.
As a member of @HouseJudiciary, I am calling for the immediate impeachment of Donald Trump & his removal from office. I’m also calling for the expulsion of @GOP members of Congress complicit in inciting the attack on our nation’s Capitol.
Their actions must have consequences.
To anyone saying, "This is not who we are."
Yes. It is.
Slavery, genocide, internment, segregation all happened in America. This is the America we don't want to see. But pretending it isn't there gives it power because it goes unseen.
This is who we are. And we have to change.
The man directly responsible for the chaos of today is Donald Trump, who has made it clear that he will do anything to remain in power – including insurrection and inciting violence. Trump will go down in history as the worst and most dangerous president in history.
