I am a registered independent that votes blue. I can appreciate the traditional Republican viewpoint even if I disagree. Trumpism is something else.

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month.

800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day.

A tale of two justice systems.

It's official: Trump is now a convicted felon.

He will be the first president to enter office as a convicted felon.

@DeaconBlues0 Denmark is a part of NATO. Taking Greenland would be an act of war on one of our allies. This seems like a very bad choice.

@shindig101 I did not vote for the man about to become President in the US. I am appalled at his statements and can only apologize for those who voted for him.

OTD 2021 Trump tried to cling to power by inciting an insurrection - to overthrow democracy.

The actions of a traitor.

Today his supporters will gaslight you by lying about it, claiming it was peaceful, that insurrectionists are political prisoners.

Lies. #neverforgetjan6th

Here are the 121 House Republicans who didn’t certify the 2020 election results. Today, they will certify the 2024 election results only because they defend democracy when it suits them. But that’s not how democracy works. We must hold all of them accountable.

Since Donald Trump became President-elect, things have gotten WORSE:

•The President of Honduras said they may expel U.S. military from their country, where we’ve been stationed for decades, because of Trump’s deportation threats.

•Greenland is now spending over $1 billion more on their military after Trump threatened to invade them.

•Trump threatened to invade Panama and take the Panama Canal, which then led the President of Panama to slam the United States AND Colombia said they would defend Panama.

•We’re on the verge of a trade war with Canada and Mexico after Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on both countries.

•Inflation rates are expected to increase due to Trump’s tariffs.

•Trump has already backed off key campaign promises, like lowering grocery costs, saying it will be “very hard” to do.

Congratulations, MAGA. You got played.

On the 4th anniversary of January 6th, I share this video to remind us of the insurrectionists' intentions. Our committee presented the truth, despite contradictions and challenges. No matter how Trump or Republicans try to deny it, the truth stands. We will never forget!

Schiff: If the president goes forward with pardoning vast numbers of people involved in January 6 violence, he will begin his new administration the way he ended his last administration, and that is by celebrating violence against our democracy.

4 years ago, a week before I was to take the oath of office for Texas State Representative, I remember watching in absolute horror as destruction descended upon our Capitol as orchestrated & lead by Trump. I simply couldn’t believe my eyes.

A week later, as I was to be sworn in, we were told that our State Capitol was on high alert as well due to some credible threats.

Now, today, as we mourn the loss of an amazing President & with schools all around closed due to the snow, I’m now a sworn member of Congress who is charged with slipping & sliding to the Capitol to certify the election for this traitor & criminal.

Let me just say that nothing about today was anything I would have predicted 4 years ago. Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we failed our country during this election. There is nothing normal or nice about Trump, and this is genuinely coming from a person that works with Republicans, when we can. My heart is heavy & I’m truly in mourning for more than one reason. If you are a praying person, please pray for our Country & its leaders.

We know what we saw on January 6th, 2021, and we won’t let Donald Trump rewrite history. No lie, denial, or pardon will ever wash away that stain.

McGovern: Speaking of back rooms. The only reason Speaker Johnson got enough votes is because two members emerged from the back room and changed their votes to support him. God only knows what they were promised in order to cave to change their views.

@DeaconBlues0 Trump simply can’t stand the idea that attention might not be on him.

@Liz_Cheney Thank you.
