It’s an unverified account, Michael, how many posts could it possibly need to read. 600?

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

They literally defecated and wrote in their own shit on the walls of congress.

Yet somehow kneeling during the national anthem is what’s truly disrespectful to our country.

Please - fuck off

[Rep. Joyce Beatty @RepBeatty]

Terrorism as defined by the FBI. Call it what it is.

[Adam Herman @AdamZHerman]

I am no longer impressed that Nicholas Cage managed to steal the Declaration of Independence.

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

The reason that it's so important to show the images of looting and destruction and terror in the Capitol yesterday is because the campaign to lie about what happened and rewrite history has already begun.

“The best way we can show respect for the voters who are upset is by telling them the truth!” — @SenatorRomney

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

Thanks. Have said it for years. Probably used it more recently, because the election lie is so well documented. We use it only when evidence warrants. For example, I can't prove you knew I'd said it before. So I won't accuse you of lying. But I will suggest you be less cynical.

[Joe Sondow @JoeSondow]

Stop saying history will judge them. Judge them now. With judges.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

As I sat waiting for information about @SenMarkKelly’s safety today, I couldn’t stop thinking about what you must have gone through 10 years ago this week. I’m so glad you and your staff are safe. I love you, sweetie.

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

Abolish the electoral college.

[Julián Castro @JulianCastro]

.@tedcruz should resign from the United States Senate immediately.

[Al Franken @alfranken]

This isn’t on just the 13 Senators who are now challenging the certification. This is on all Republicans who waited more than a month to acknowledge that Biden won. Including @senatemajldr McConnell.

[Rep. Haley Stevens @RepHaleyStevens]

I’m sheltering in place in my office. The building next door has been evacuated. I can’t believe I have to write this.

[We keep us safe @thequeengeek]

A friend just said to me "Are we supposed to be working during the coup?" and honestly it was the most American thing I've ever heard.

[Shomari Stone @shomaristone]

BREAKING. Mob of Trump supporters swarm the media near the US Capitol. They yell what Trump frequently says, “the media is the enemy of the people.” They destroy equipment and chased out reporters. I’ve never seen anything like this in my 20 year career: @nbcwashington @MSNBC

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

This is fucking outrageous

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

.@BenSasse: "Today, the United States Capitol — the world’s greatest symbol of self-government — was ransacked while the leader of the free world cowered behind his keyboard — tweeting against his Vice President for fulfilling the duties of his oath to the Constitution."

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

Biden: "This is not America."

Narrator: "It was America."

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

Fuck you we are. Democracy will not die tonight.

[Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT]

The protesters didn't hang a US flag from the Capitol balcony. They hung a Trump flag.
