Can't Mitch McConnell just pretend impeachment is a federal judge he wants to confirm?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Good morning 🌞

Lies are not “differences of opinion.”

Have a great day!

I just pushed my grandmother down the basement steps. My parents want to call the cops on me, but I don't know how that would unify this family.

If you want to use state power to control private companies because you don't like the decisions they make, *you* are the greater danger to a free society.

[LaTosha Brown @MsLaToshaBrown]

Republicans have reduced “peace” to only mean white comfort, protection of white supremacy, unchecked authority and unaccountability.

Sen. Sanders: "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."

[James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn]

Everybody knows that this president is deranged. We know that.

He came into office misrepresenting everything around him.

For him to continue to be tolerated by his party like this, means that the party has a responsibility of doing something right away.

I want Trump to be removed so that every 5th grader who asks “why was Mike Pence President for 2 days” hears a story about why white supremacy & fascism are threats to democracy. Millions of students in the next decades will ask this question and will know to reject fascism.

[Zarphus @Zarphus]

retweet if anytime between 2016 and today you called trump a fascist, nazi, or dictator, and were told you were overreacting.

This feels wild to say but....

We're not talking about the bombs enough. At least three were found and disarmed yesterday.

There is a LOT going on. But it feels like those explosive devices should be a bigger story.

[Jennifer Palmieri @jmpalmieri]

It has not escaped my attention that the day social media companies decided there actually IS more they could do to police Trump’s destructive behavior was the same day they learned Democrats would chair all the congressional committees that oversee them.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

This massive backpedaling from Republicans is actually more insulting. They don’t deserve credit for shit. They have been complicit for four years, and kissed Trump’s ass at every turn. It took an insurrection that killed somebody for them to show some basic decency. Fuck. Off.

[Patrick Wyman @Patrick_Wyman]

I can't stress this enough: From the top down, if the people responsible for today's events face no consequences for what they've done, the next time will be much worse. If a political line is crossed, either enforce its existence or accept that the line no longer exists.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

The fact that suddenly there are no objections to Biden’s presidency being certified is not just about the horrific events of today, but it’s a tell that this always was theatre to some of these clowns. This was a game to them, but they learned how real this shit is today.

[Astead @AsteadWH]

where are the parents? the lack of respect for law enforcement starts at the home

[Ed Stern is on BlueSky @EdStern]

Well that escalated steadily for four years.
