I feel like all Americans have now been in the Willy Wonka tunnel for five years. It’s not getting better. We are almost at the moment when Wonka tells us:

“Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing”

Two seconds on google:

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Watching McConnell’s harsh indictment of Donald Trump for his lies and incitement, for his lack of remorse and dereliction of duty,

I couldn’t help but think of how much McConnell indicts himself for an even greater dereliction of duty:

Failing to hold Trump accountable.

Republicans allowed Donald Trump to incite an insurrection without consequence, and now they want to allow insurrectionists to determine state voting laws. We cannot allow laws to be written based on a lie. We must protect the right to vote. #gapol

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It is truly sad and dangerous that only 7 Republicans voted to convict a president who is promoting a Big Lie, conspiracy theories and violence, and is aggressively trying to destroy American democracy.

You good with this, @AlexPappas? Stand by that alert?

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

THIS JUST IN. My latest: With the 57-43 vote, the Senate produces the first bipartisan impeachment condemnation of a US president. But in voting to acquit Trump, the Senate GOPers indicted themselves and their party. Please read, RT, and share.

America now, officially, has two parties: the party of democracy and the party of authoritarianism. But there is no place in our system of government for the latter.

It’s been 42 days since we installed a new Congress. It’s time the American People got their $2,000 checks.

[Michael Beschloss @BeschlossDC]

And remember that successful coups are usually preceded by ones that fail.

NEW: Pence's nat'l sec advisor, Keith Kellogg, was w/ Trump during the riots, in Oval Office, Kellogg confirms. Pence's staff was communicating with Kellogg. "So of course they knew exactly what the circumstance was," a fmr Pence staffer said. https://t.co/Se5V65HJTO

[Hugo Lowell @hugolowell]

House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to commit witness intimidation, tweeting at Jaime Herrera Beutler — who revealed McCarthy begged Trump to call off rioters — that Trump fans “are watching” her.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

The impeachment case against President Trump is overwhelming. The world is witnessing how dishonest our society has become.
