"Texas is experiencing a natural disaster made significantly worse by major policy errors — and the officials who made those errors should be held accountable," writes @PaulKrugman. https://t.co/imc91iatzp

Republican politicians don’t care about problem-solving or the “results of their actions or inactions...as they’ve got the ‘narrative’ right, which invariably includes blaming left-wing socialists for their own mismanagement.”

Sens. Cruz and Hawley deserve a fair process and a chance to explain themselves and their role in the January 6 Capitol siege.

But unless we learn something new, based on what we’ve seen so far, I don’t believe they deserve to remain in the Senate.

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.

Reporting: In *one* day in June, D.C. police arrested BLM protesters at over *seven* times the rate of Trump rioters at the Capitol on Wednesday.

There was far more evidence of trespassing and other serious crimes at the Capitol, much of it on tape.

[Tom Morello @tmorello]

Some of those that work forces are apparently the same that burn crosses.
