Hey, @BTNStatsGuys, Willis didn’t play for @GopherMBB today? Ask @RutgersMBB about that! 🙂 #B1G @B1GMBBall #GoGophers

@lourdesgnavarro She should listen to Weekend Edition. @NPRWeekend

@bryanhansel Bryan--I think you're seeing a pulsar. I noticed the same thing while stargazing late at night many years ago and did some research to figure it out. Now I notice them regularly. Just saw a couple a few nights ago while trying to watch the meteor shower.

And then the Senate should vote to convict just before noon on the 20th.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

If House impeaches today - it puts huge pressure on Trump to behave himself for next 13 days. (EG no more corrupt pardons, for self and family or for pro-Trump insurrectionists). Will put a senatorial collar around Trump's neck until noon on the 20th.

Chao was ready to invoke the 25th, but without that happening she sees no reason to stay.

Sedition party.

A real live sedition party with wide screen coverage of the revved up crowds followed by the attack on the Capitol.

Quotes from former Trump administration officials I’ve spoken to today about @realDonaldTrump: “He has blood on his hands from yesterday. A woman died.” AND: “There’s no recovering from what happened. It was sedition.”

@FFToday Tua Tagovailoa at QB in Week 12 vs. the Jets. DNP/0 points. Started him and didn't notice he was designated out until 5 minutes after kickoff. Dropped him the next week.

[Joe Thiegs @jthiegs]

This is my thought too.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

The right way for this to end is in the invocation of the 25th amendment. There isn't time or process for impeachment. But Trump is unfit to serve further, and those around him know it.

Jordan has been doing amazing interviews from Trump rallies for the past few years and so is something of an authority on this, I believe.

[Jordan Klepper @jordanklepper]

When you tell people who play dress up soldier that they are on a patriotic mission, they desperately believe it. That’s what I saw today in DC.

[Joe Thiegs @jthiegs]

Funny how these things work out, huh @LindseyGrahamSC?

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

Ahhh... I’m reminded of @LindseyGrahamSC ‘s famous quote:

“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed ... and we will deserve it."

[Joe Thiegs @jthiegs]

If only....

[Joe Thiegs @jthiegs]

@RepRonKind Best wishes, Representative Kind. I have happy memories of meeting with you and the dean of the Law School just a little more than 9 years ago, I think in the Rayburn Room. Take care, Ron, and stay well.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

A reminder that the people who breached security today at the Capitol find what @Kaepernick7 did to be offensive.

[Joe Thiegs @jthiegs]

True. And I'd submit social media as Exhibit A to Why a Pure Democracy Is a Terrible Idea. #neverreadthecomments

[Sheera Frenkel @sheeraf]

The storming of the capital hill was organized on social media. Time to stop acting like things said online don't translate into real-world action. https://t.co/tpEZZ2KfGZ
