LAPD seeks help identifying two people of interest in the attack on a black woman during a pro-Trump rally on Jan. 6 outside outside LA City Hall. @KNX1070

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

We must ensure that Donald Trump can never hold public office again.

[Eugene Scott @Eugene_Scott]

“I got called a n****r 15 times today,” the veteran officer shouted. “Trump did this and we got all of these fucking people in our department that voted for him. How the fuck can you support him?”

“I cried for about 15 minutes and I just let it out.” https://t.co/5CulEBi1BT

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Kevin McCarthy should be treated as a pariah - shunned from official Washington and the elite gatherings he loves attending. He and most of the caucus he leads are a threat to democracy.

[No One Left Behind @nolbpac]

After witnessing an attempted coup in the U.S. Capitol, they continued stoking the flames of sedition. Now, We must find candidates that can beat them in their next election – and we are beginning NOW.

Chip in now to help us take down #TheSeditiousEight

Republicans confirmed Amy Coney Barrett 8 days before election but say you can’t impeach Trump 12 days before inauguration

[Congressman Brendan Boyle @RepBrendanBoyle]

Dear @tedcruz - Just stop. You know better. I know you know better. It’s not a fucking game. 5 people were killed. What the fuck is it going to take for you to end this shit? How many more 20-yr old staffers do you want to be terrorized and hiding in our offices?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

[NPR @NPR]

In June, federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters to clear a path for President Trump's photo-op in front of St. John's Church.

On Wednesday, insurrectionists were allowed, largely unobstructed, to pillage the Capitol.

This should be Donald Trump's future:

Impeach. Convict. Remove. Indict. Arrest. Prosecute. Convict. Imprison. Bury with no honor, ceremony or public funds.

That is all.

[Brian Beutler @brianbeutler]

“One current Metro D.C. police officer said in a public Facebook post that off-duty police officers and members of the military, who were among the rioters, flashed their badges and I.D. cards as they attempted to overrun the building.” https://t.co/TdQXsvnCTZ

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Now imagine if he had been re-elected.

[Sarah Silverman @SarahKSilverman]

THIS THREAD is from over two weeks ago. Why wasn’t DC prepared? TRUMP DIRECTED THIS⬇️

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

People acting like this was shocking when it’s exactly what Trump said would happen while eagerly preparing to pretend it never happened is how authoritarianism burrows into a democracy. Shame on us if we don’t look at the deep roots of today and pull them out of the ground.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Why on earth is this man not under arrest and in prison

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

As a member of @HouseJudiciary, I am calling for the immediate impeachment of Donald Trump & his removal from office. I’m also calling for the expulsion of @GOP members of Congress complicit in inciting the attack on our nation’s Capitol.

Their actions must have consequences.

[Curt Ries @Curt_Ries]

I was one of 1,300 people who sat-in on the steps of the US Capitol in 2016 protesting money in politics and voter suppression. We were arrested en masse for demanding democracy. To see thousands allowed to storm the Capitol by force in a blatant coup attempt is beyond shameful.
