I’m heartbroken by these recent tragedies of gun violence, and I just keep thinking about all the leaders who won’t take a stand to save lives and yet line up to pass bills that make it harder for us to vote.

[Robert Collins @DrRobertCollins]

The LA GOP formally censured Sen. Bill Cassidy today. Interesting side note: When I was on the staff of US Senator Bennett Johnston, we asked the LA Republican Party to censure our opponent, David Duke, because he had literally been a self-professed Klansman. They refused.

To meet the moment and crises we’re facing, my American Rescue Plan will help contain the virus, deliver direct relief to hardest hit Americans, and dig us out of this economic crisis.

Heard of SARS-CoV2 variant from Japan?

No?

How about one from South Korea?

No?

Surely variants from New Zealand & Vietnam?

Of course not

Because these places haven't given rise to scary variants

But what places have.....has big implications for ending the pandemic

Well, at last it’s time to say farewell, to my battered #TimeToWakeUp poster, and to a run of more than 270 climate speeches. The conditions are at last in place for a real solution. Now, it’s time to get to work. https://t.co/BO31I0JxUo

recommendations for strong disciplinary action, including up to expulsion or censure, if
warranted by the facts uncovered."

WATCH: Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) says majority of GOP "paralyzed with fear"

@RepJasonCrow: "I had a lot of conversations with my Republican colleagues. ... A couple of them broke down in tears ... saying that they are afraid for their lives if they vote for this impeachment."

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

There is a direct line from GOP refusal to accept the results of our free and fair elections to the riot and insurrection of Jan. 6th. The GOP cannot in the same breath claim they condemn the violence while fueling the very lie that drove it.

[Seth Yurdin 🇺🇲 @SethYurdin]

Thank you. The U.S. Constitution clearly provides for and requires this. If not now, when?

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

The Senate will need to conduct security review of what happened and what went wrong, likely through Rules, Homeland and Judiciary. The Senate Ethics Committee also must consider the expulsion, or censure and punishment, of Sens. Cruz, Hawley, and perhaps others.
