“It’s coherent—and in my view absolutely appropriate—to believe both that (i) the social media companies were right to suspend Trump’s accounts last week; and (ii) the companies’ immense power over public discourse is a problem for democracy.” https://t.co/i5YNgJ1Ikg

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

In a democracy no crime is higher and no misdemeanour more treasonous than conspiring to violently overturn an election. Donald Trump needs to be punished for betraying his oath as head of state and prevented from holding office again https://t.co/jsVwG3SNB9

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

No one who objected to certification of the election can call for “unity” until they publicly acknowledge that Biden lawfully won the election and is the legitimate President. That is the necessary first step towards unity. It has not happened yet.

NY STATE BAR ASSO., on Giuliani: "This decision is historic for NYSBA, and we have not made it lightly. We cannot stand idly by and allow those intent on rending the fabric of our democracy to go unchecked."

Majority of Americans say Trump should be removed from office after Capitol riots: POLL https://t.co/Hm4vJAcxan

Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI): "This should be a moment of reckoning for the conservative movement. If the Republican party ever hopes to regain the public’s trust and lead the country forward after this heinous assault, it must first be honest with itself."

For all of you still willing to look at facts. Here is reporting on research done about police response to protests.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

For those who are wondering why so much attention has been focused on the response of the Capitol Police to the Trump-inspired riots, here’s a data-driven article that provides some useful frame of reference.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Be in no doubt that Donald Trump is the author of this lethal attack on the heart of American democracy. His lies fed the grievance, his disregard for the constitution focused it on Congress and his demagoguery lit the fuse https://t.co/zgTuxSTCVo

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

US Justice Dept says it has NO indication Antifa played any role in Wednesday chaos at US Capitol

[Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy]

Murdoch's WSJ absolutely torches Trump.

The editorial board says he has crossed a constitutional line, committed an "impeachable" act, and should perhaps resign.

"It is best for everyone, himself included, if he goes away quietly."

[FBI @FBI]

The FBI is seeking to identify individuals instigating violence in Washington, D.C. We are accepting tips and digital media depicting rioting or violence in and around the U.S. Capitol on January 6. If you have information, visit https://t.co/buMd8vYXzH.

JUST IN: Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer calls for President Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment. He says if that doesn't happen, Congress should impeach Trump.

“What happened … was an insurrection against the United States, incited by the president."

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

The FBI is seeking tips, pictures, video and other media that will help identify people who instigated violence when they stormed and vandalized the U.S. Capitol https://t.co/kSUBQVUvwz

[Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney]

What happened at the U.S. Capitol today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States. https://t.co/NojKm86sZ2

[Will Hurd @WillHurd]

This isn’t a peaceful protest. This is an attack on our democracy and domestic terrorism to try to stop certifying elections. This should be treated as a coup led by a president that will not be peacefully removed from power.

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

Today, I'm ordering a citywide curfew for the District of Columbia from 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 6, until 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 7.

[Alan Araujo @allcircuitsbusy]

This is an attempted coup by a minority of Trump supporters and their leader. We are watching it unfold right before us. The good news is that the level of incompetence in the leadership of this coup is very high. Still very scary though.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

That every living former defence secretary should feel compelled to speak up about the behaviour of Donald Trump indicates the severity of the current political crisis https://t.co/lGWmn0qKLT

[Alan Araujo @allcircuitsbusy]

Thank you @SenatorRomney for shining the way forward for some of the more putrified elements of the Republican leadership.

[Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney]

The egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some, but dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic. https://t.co/jKEvoXskbl
