The insurrection happened not because they thought the election was stolen, but because they thought they had the right to enforce their view through violence. They rejected the idea of living w/ an outcome they didn’t like.

When Trump calls them, they will come.
True. Ditto Matt Gaetz or Kevin McCarthy, or Madison Cawthorn, or Jim Jordan or a majority of GOP members of Congress. The minimum accountability necessary is admitting they lied.

Again and again the GOP has decision points. They’re all the same. They couldn’t draw a line at the insurrection. With that decision they’re now on to mocking reps who feared they’d be murdered, defending reps who applauded the violence, making pilgrimages to seek the support …

Amazingly, GOP leaders think holding Trump accountable for insurrection would cost them new voters he's brought in.

If Trump runs for president in 2024 he will be running against democracy and his campaign will be an existential threat to America as we know it. Today's love-fest with McCarthy suggests it's not off the table, especially if GOP does well in midterms.

The biggest question Dems face may be whether they're ready to accept the implications of the GOP's worsening radicalization. If they aren't ready to nuke the filibuster if need be to unwind GOP countermajoritarian advantages, it could be disastrous:https://t.co/9egemSj1we

Elizabeth Warren is correct here. It goes deeper than Robinhood in all likelihood, but yes, Robinhood can steal all your money and then hold a trial in front of arbitrator it hires. All corporations can do this, because of the GOP and the Supreme Court. https://t.co/attvPqNWQt
