Democrats want to know who broke the law, planned the insurrection and assaulted the Capitol.
Republicans want to know who ratted them out.

There are many domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol that are receiving minor charges, light bail or no bail, & some DOJ are considering not charging at all.
This sets a horrible precedent for ANOTHER attack because without SEVERE consequences bad people will do this again

The White House is the People’s House, so I'm asking for YOU to reply with your questions. I'll answer you in a video this week. Can't wait to hear from you!

Joe Biden rose up from his seat,
And shortly his oath was complete.
The day brought a balm
Of quiet & calm
And Bernie memes too, as a treat.

Until Republican leaders acknowledge that Biden won the election fairly and squarely, I don’t care to hear anything from them. They’re continuing the Big Lie, and that is dangerous in the extreme.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that the President of the United States was completely MIA while the next three individuals in the line of succession (VP, Speaker of House, Senate Pres Pro Tempore) were under assault in the Capitol. Unconscionable.

I think Biden should maybe lean into the "Sleepy Joe" thing more. "They call me 'Sleepy Joe' - not because I'll be sleeping so much, but because you finally can."
Biden to nominate William Burns as CIA director, turning to a longtime diplomat to lead agency in post-Trump era. “The American people will sleep soundly with him as our next CIA Director," Biden said. This will be well-received by the diplomatic corps. cnn.com/2021/01/11/politics/…

Historian of coups and right-wing authoritarians here. If there are not severe consequences for every lawmaker & Trump govt official who backed this, every member of the Capitol Police who collaborated with them, this "strategy of disruption" will escalate in 2021

When people say Trump is still dangerous, they are missing the point: Trump is MORE dangerous now than he was before Wednesday. Narcissists can only escalate, never back down. He will get worse, and do worse, until he is removed.

Certain folks love the concept of free markets & privatization until they realize it means privately owned companies can freely cancel book deals, social media accounts & platform access as a business decision

When I was very young, the United States provided my family and me a place of refuge. Now, I have been nominated to be the DHS Secretary and oversee the protection of all Americans and those who flee persecution in search of a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

I don't understand how it’s considered radical for progressives to fight for an equitable society, but it’s accepted that Senate Republicans would rather take a vacation for Thanksgiving and let thousands of people die from the virus than pass relief.
Who’s really radical here?

Watch: Rachel @Maddow reports that she's been off the air for most of the past two weeks because her longtime partner Susan Mikula is sick with Covid-19 – so sick that "at one point we really thought that there was a possibility that it might kill her." Mikula is recovering now.
