It’s painfully clear that the initial live tv shots we all saw, and may be all that many people see, didn’t reveal how ugly this really was. https://t.co/TslehTVCgo

The fear of Hill staff & Capitol employees hasn’t gotten enough attention. Esp fearful were those who were people of color. They knew they’d be singled out if found. They were hiding & calling loved ones too. Praying for their healing too. @nytimes https://t.co/CoY6A3fI7i

Trump "is preparing to lean into his fight with Twitter and other social media platforms this week, a Trump adviser said," using his deplatforming "to shift the narrative away from the insurrection on Capitol Hill earlier in the week," @JDiamond1 reports. https://t.co/bqM5bECYv2

It’s telling how so many Republican leaders think they can hack the media discourse with disingenuous talk of unity and healing to obscure the fact that their Party incited an insurrection to end democracy just this week.

Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore & enable his corrupt, dishonest, & divisive agenda.

Total denunciation of a despot’s legacy is necessary to eradicate any remaining malignancy.
Lessons: @RepAdamSchiff warned the world Trump would not stop.

The GOP wouldn't remove him. @SenatorCollins told everyone he "learned his lesson".
The result of no consequences was an domestic terror attack and attempted coup d'etat.
We can't just move on.
Hey @Jim_Jordan we will not have healing and unity as long as you try to pretend this wasn’t a planned insurrection. You don’t get to just move on. Seditious conspiracy will be investigated. https://t.co/0ien57nCeu

They want unity? Congress should be sending a unified message that what happened Wednesday is unacceptable.
— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) January 9, 2021
There were bombs. There were zip-ties and a gallows. We are so damn lucky there weren't more deaths.
If you can't unify around that then shut the fuck up. https://t.co/UKURpjjkye
They don't want impeachment because it will force them to go on record on Trump's incitement. They know that there's very, very bad stuff that will come out in the coming weeks and months about what was going on behind the scenes, and their vote is going to haunt them politically

I have asked @PressSec and her deputies if the president has any comment on the "Hang Pence" threats coming from Trump's supporters. No answer to repeated inquiries. Does the President condemn these threats? No response from the White House. None.

Interesting that horn-man says he went to DC “as part of a group effort, with other ‘patriots’ from Arizona, at the request of the President that all ‘patriots’ come to D.C. on January 6, 2021." Doesn't exactly hide that he was following Trump's orders. https://t.co/wfB5zgOFIn

On Christmas Day, the official UK coronavirus death toll passed 70,000. Today, it has passed 80,000. 10,000 lives lost in just over two weeks. A truly horrifying statistic. Please take this lockdown seriously, we are all responsible for helping to bring this under control

And all the more mindblowing that when they knew for weeks of a dangerous new variant @BorisJohnson continued to be led by populist bullshit to do with turkey and Brussels sprouts and everyone having a ‘real Xmas.’ The messaging pre Cmas amounts to a form of corporate manslaugter https://t.co/QMlpYnGR5o

Pleased to see #RupertMurdoch trending. It’s time people started to get angry about the corruption in this country. Maybe now someone will dare to ask @BorisJohnson about how this malevolent old ogre was first in line.
