To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

“Move on?” “Moving on” does not mean “forget about it,” @LindseyGrahamSC. “Moving on” requires accountability. Attacking our nation without recourse or responsibility isn’t “moving on.” A Capitol Police officer just died. Why are you defending this? https://t.co/yTjh6ikNJs

Silencing a significant number of voters and erasing history is no way to unite us; it only further divides. Big tech & social media platforms want to act like media orgs but don’t want to be held accountable with the rest of media. Speech should be free whether you agree or not.

Fact: More Americans died as a result of the siege on the United States Capitol than in #Benghazi.

The Trump mob attack on the capitol now has a higher death toll than Benghazi.

We need to talk about the infiltration of law enforcement by right wing extremists. This attempted insurrection was planned and it was coordinated. A Capitol police officer died defending our Capitol from a mob incited by Donald's violent rhetoric. Impeach and remove him now.
