.@TomCottonAR lied for years about deploying as an Army Ranger to Iraq and Afghanistan, which is all you need to know about his courage and honesty. Maybe he should reconsider before lecturing others on stolen valor: https://t.co/r6PIOmDrwM

It's really interesting to watch how the media talks as if an inauguration wasn't just a few days ago. It hasn't been a week

#AgentOrange45 did not patronize a single business in DC in four years.

[John Pavlovitz Official @johnpavlovitz]

@JohnCornyn Because Trump didn't.

He also didn't stand up against the bounties on US soldiers.

The GOP failed them.

[Carmen Vela @madremorena]

@JohnCornyn You should hold your adjacent evil entity @tedcruz accountable for inciting an insurrection at our Capitol.

[Stephanie ✨Meidas Mighty @Islandgirlpixie]

@JohnCornyn You should also hold Trump accountable for the attempted overthrow of our government. And the folks in Congress who encouraged/helped that attack. Also, Trump refused to call out Putin for his horrid treatment of Navalny & you did say a DAMN THING then. Why do you suddenly care?

[The Hoarse Whisperer @TheRealHoarse]

@JohnCornyn Where were you when Trump was giving Putin a four-year handjob?

Bernie Sanders on CNN: Dems will use reconciliation "as soon as we possibly can" to pass a relief package.

"If they want to criticize me for helping to feed children who are hungry, or senior citizens in this country who ... don't have enough food, they can criticize me."

This is how disability advocates were treated when they peacefully protested to protect their healthcare outside of Mitch McConnell's office. But we're gonna let the white supremacists who stormed the Capitol with intent to harm go free?

This is so cute!! Make sure to read this amazing blog guys!

the game they are trying to play with this trial.

"you can't impeach a former POTUS"

He was impeached TWICE while he was in office. TWICE!!

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

This morning, @marcorubio said that impeaching for insurrection will anger the insurrectionists and that’s why he doesn’t support it. When you’ve gone down to the level of appeasing the deadly terrorists, no bible quote in history can mask what you really are.

[Mike Collier @CollierForTexas]

Gerrymandering keeps our US Congress and Texas Legislature filled with hyper-partisan combatants instead of honest public servants and statesmen.

Independent redistricting commissions will save democracy. It will pave the way for other reforms like in campaign finance.

@Rogers4Texas @TexasGOP They’re hearing the thunder of the coalition of 70+ orgs coming for them.

[Imani Gandy is at BlueSky Now @AngryBlackLady]

Glenn Greenwald literally capes for white supremacists and is somehow still thought of as a thoughtful leftist journalist by some people. I don’t understand it. He is a toxic hateful little man. Truly a despicable person.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

Anyone involved in the Capitol terrorist attack in any way should be arrested and face the max sentence. No deals. No mercy. No exceptions.

@VABVOX We’re not out much, but even visiting with our daughter in her yard we all wear masks.

@SulomeAnderson @nypost @DailyMail @nytimes Actually, I said I had chills when Biden’s plane landed. Because after the months we’ve been through, it struck me hard that this is a historic moment. Because we were finally seeing a peaceful transfer of power.
