I've seen shameful chapters in American history. Sometimes the full scale of the shame isn't apparent in real time. That's not the case with the RNC's actions. Shame on them. And shame on anyone who attacks those trying to uncover the truth about an assault on American democracy.

There is so much work ahead of us, but I am deeply optimistic about the future of American travel.

SCOOP: @mtgreenee was the moderator of a Facebook group that featured death threats & racist memes and shared a wide variety of conspiracy theories. It also endorsed the John Birch Society! Please read, RT, and share. (Once more, with an accurate @RepMTG.)

I think about this piece from 2012 *a lot.* Incredibly prescient.

Donald J. Trump is no longer the President of the United States.
He should be treated as though he never was. No $200,000 pension. No million-dollar travel budget. No national security briefings. No respect.

This is not complicated: Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley are enemies of democracy. They cannot remain in Congress.

Today we celebrate and honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. It is up to all of us to pick up the mantle and fight forward for social, racial, and economic justice.

Former Sr Admin Official: “Such a lack of self awareness. She literally stood by and said nothing during an armed insurrection out of fear of her boss.”

I wonder whether Donald Trump will glimpse the fencing and barbed wire surrounding the U.S. Capitol as he flees Washington on Wednesday?
I wonder if he’ll care or recognize this will be his enduring legacy?

NEW from me: On December 8, a foreign account sent multiple prominent rightwing figures a large Bitcoin donation. Funding, including from overseas, a subject of interest to U.S. law enforcement post U.S. Capitol riot:

Ummm...last time I checked, the GOP position on hearing from witnesses during an #impeachment proceeding is pretty clear. Flashback to one year ago when Republicans blocked all firsthand witnesses from being heard.

You're president. The Capitol is breached! What do you do? Everyone to the sit room. Orders to DOD, FBI, DHS, etc. coordinated by WH. You're commander in chief; you take command. That's what a president does. Trump watched TV. Wednesday he forfeited any right to remain president.

It’s absurd for @GOP members to propose a 9/11-style commission to investigate how the Capitol was overrun as a substitute for holding the president accountable. Congress should do both.
It’s notable, though, that no one on either wise or the aisle is defending his actions.

Echoing what others are saying, but people should not minimize Kevin McCarthy's role in all of this. Arguably he bears at least as much responsibility as Hawley and Cruz. And he's more likely to be in a position of power going forward (e.g. as Speaker of the House in 2024).

.@MichaelSteele: No one is above the law. No one gets a pass here. Not you Josh Hawley. Not you Ted Cruz. Because your fingerprints are stained with the blood of the dead, and the broken glass of the Capitol. #SundayShow
