@ayesharascoe @vermontpublic I love listening to you every week!!

Oh my goodness watch this

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

As Ann Richards said, "Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels."

Here's me in Cartagena while I was there for a meeting as Secretary of State.

Keep dancing, @marinsanna.

It makes me sad when a teacher assistant says “I’m just a para” when they introduce themselves to me…we CANNOT do our jobs without support staff. They are the backbones of our schools. No one is “just” anything on your staff. Make sure your support staff feel encouraged & loved.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

It’s important to be reminded how cruel, vile and dehumanizing Trump and his clique are to ordinary people who did nothing wrong. Nothing less than American fascism.

Shaye Moss on the threats that she and her mother, Ruby Freeman received: A lot of threats wishing death upon me and telling me I will be in jail with my mother and saying things like be glad it's 2020 and 1920. A lot of them were racist. A lot of them we just hateful.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Ruby Freeman: "The President of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not to target one. But he targeted me, Lady Ruby, a small-business owner, a mother, a proud American citizen who stood up to help Fulton Co. run an election in the middle of the pandemic."

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

This testimony by Shaye Moss & Ruby Freeman is heart breaking.

Freeman says she's lost her sense of security, is always nervous to use her name & had to leave her home for two months.

Moss says she's gained 60 pounds & blamed herself for wanting to help with elections.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

A powerful moment.

Ruby Freeman on the results of former President Trump targeting her, and her daughter, Shaye Moss, and lying about the 2020 election:

"There is no where I feel safe."

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Lady Ruby, the hero, for the win.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

Shaye Moss says she felt "horrible" because people showed up to her grandmother's home and said they were there to do a citizens' arrest on Moss and her mother.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

This is some of the most enraging and upsetting testimony I've ever seen.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

We may be watching chilling video and wrenching testimony, but Donald Trump should be seeing handcuffs.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Holy hell. I thought I remembered how bad January 6 was, but this footage is giving me PTSD-style flashbacks. It’s really hard to watch — but we MUST.

Trump must pay.

[Sarah Spain @SarahSpain]

This footage is making me feel sick even though I know it’s in the past. It’s bringing back all the fear, uncertainty and shock of that day. I still can’t believe it happened. I still can’t believe anyone would even try to defend it or downplay it.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

One former Trump aide who was involved in trying to claim their were irregularities in the elections tells me just now that this has made Trump “look extremely culpable” and that Republicans still questioning the election are “fools and chasing a dream.”

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Arming teachers is good for one thing.
Selling more guns.

[Swiss Mrs. @Snowayout]

Remember this today:

"IT IS EASIER TO CON A MAN THAN TO. CONVINCE HIM HE HAS BEEN CONNED."

Mark Twain

Very few true Trumpers will be willing to change their minds.

[(((DeanObeidallah))) @DeanObeidallah]

My only question after listening to the opening of the hearing is this: How can Donald Trump not already been under ARREST?!!
