“Raskin’s case was made for history—a case against Trump & the next Trump & the Trump after that. If we’re lucky enough to endure as a country to see those challenges, it will be because new generations of Raskins will keep standing up to power.”

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.
Senate Minority Leader McConnell says Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking” the Jan. 6 assault. “He did not do his job,” he said, adding Trump “watched television happily as the chaos unfolded.” But McConnell said “constitutionally” he could not convict.
I know it takes two thirds for Donald Trump to be found guilty but 57 to 43 voting guilty is pretty damning, especially in an evenly divided Senate.

Trump should have been held accountable.
History won't be kind to the 43 Senate Republicans who voted to excuse Trump's outrageous misconduct.
Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
It delights me to think that what feels historical and amazing to us today—a woman sworn in to the vice presidency—will seem normal, obvious, "of course" to Kamala's grand-nieces as they grow up. And they will be right.
