The headline says it all: Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/EOKNQVjxs4

[Chris Megerian @ChrisMegerian]

Twitter says this is a permanent suspension for the president

[Chris Megerian @ChrisMegerian]

We’re tracking resignations from President Trump’s administration here https://t.co/KMxUHvQaIv

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Like all of you, I’ve been feeling so many emotions since yesterday. I tried to put my thoughts down here:

[Alex Kantrowitz @Kantrowitz]

Trump's feed — still here for the moment — is almost entirely filled with removed tweets and labels

[Chris Megerian @ChrisMegerian]

Two weeks before his term ends, the president is being deplatformed. He's indefinitely banned from Facebook and Instagram, his Twitter access is suspended and Shopify just shut down his campaign's online store.

[Adam @mosseri]

Given the exceptional circumstances, and the fact that the President has decided to condone rather than condemn yesterday’s violence at the Capital, we are extending the block we have placed on his accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks.

[Alex Kantrowitz @Kantrowitz]

BREAKING: Facebook blocks Trump from accessing his accounts indefinitely, per Zuckerberg. "We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great." https://t.co/8iXbkgDV9O

[Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins]

I joined a bipartisan, bicameral group of my colleagues in condemning the violence at the U.S. Capitol today:

My statement on violence at the Capitol:

[Alex Kantrowitz @Kantrowitz]

There they go...

[Chris Megerian @ChrisMegerian]

Twitter appears to have removed the president's last two tweets

[Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney]

What happened at the U.S. Capitol today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States. https://t.co/NojKm86sZ2

[Guy Rosen @guyro]

This is an emergency situation and we are taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video. We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.

[Chris Megerian @ChrisMegerian]

"This claim of election fraud is disputed, and this Tweet can’t be replied to, Retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence."

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!

[Sen. James Lankford @SenatorLankford]

Protesters have charged the Capitol and have surrounded the Senate chamber. They have asked us to stay inside.

.@DrPaulGosar: "I rise to object to the counting of the electoral ballots from Arizona."

VP Pence: "Is it signed by a member of the House and a Senator?"

@SenTedCruz: "It is"
