"You see some on the right saying they have problems with Joe Biden's speech because he talked about white supremacy and racism, almost identifying themselves as those things, wanting to basically forget the insurrection… we can never forget" – @davidplouffe w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/JgoaTHzkj5

Don't get snowed by fake GOP outrage about Biden's criticism of right wing extremism. It's a sucker's game, a bad-faith effort to redefine "unity" as agreeing to absolve Republicans from blame for enabling Trump and his attack on our country. My latest:https://t.co/XnoEaQQ1bf

Democrats are planning to use a lot of video of the assault on the Capitol at Trump's Senate trial, a Dem aide tells me.
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) January 21, 2021
The idea is to keep GOP senators awake, and to offer a vivid reminder that Trump incited an attack on, well, *them.*
New piece:https://t.co/Hv9oUy9GRX
A group of Senate Democrats filed an ethics complaint against Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz calling for an investigation to determine whether the pair coordinated with the organizers of the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally that preceded the deadly riot at the US Capitol.https://t.co/8bzXP7IRGL

Unless Mitch has the votes to convict, wait until late March so the Senate can pass Biden’s COVID and economic stimulus legislation plus confirm his cabinet! Time will create a stronger case against Trump. Don’t let Mitch run the Senate unless he delivers! https://t.co/QQ6GVnRnvn

Another shameful and embarrassing story, if you can bear it. The UK will now be the only country in the world not to recognise the EU delegation as a full embassy. Deeply hypocritical and utterly pathetic, Global Britain starts as it means to go on. https://t.co/9RnC2PyoqL

The UK refusing to give full diplomatic status the EU's mission in London is baffling at at time when @BorisJohnson is trying to connect with @JoeBiden – because it recalls what Trump administration did to the EU ambassador back in 2019. Stay with me/1https://t.co/W1RYbN8LOs

Supporters might hate Johnson being dubbed "Britain's Trump" but its apt. Both men's rose on cults of personality and policies of hot, rancid air. Both whipped up the curse of nationalism to further their ambitions and both have created havoc, hate and division in the process.
