Volunteers braved the weather to rescue 3,500 turtles from freezing to death in Texas. There are some kind, self-less people in the world. https://t.co/7pT1Pw5Q6H
BREAKING NEWS: Senator Coons (D-DE), a Biden Ally, Floats "Further Accountability" for Trump Besides a Future Criminal Trial—Implicitly Leaving the Door Open for a Congressional Censure on Insurrection That Could Bar Trump From Future Office Via Section 3 of the 14th Amendment https://t.co/20uGAMB7u0
"Things will get worse for the 45th president. The 57–43 margin in the Senate flashes a green light to federal and state prosecutors that, if they find evidence of crimes, proceeding with legal action against Trump would be politically safe." https://t.co/jMyPYLgQ05
"It wasn’t enough formally to disqualify Trump from ever again seeking office in the United States," @DavidFrum writes. "But practically? It will do as a solemn and eternal public repudiation." https://t.co/rNn0Ldw69I
For anyone who wants to thank @jamie_raskin for defending our democracy, please consider donating to his family’s fund to honor the passing of his son last month. He didn’t even have time to mourn properly before he stepped up for our nation. https://t.co/Um1Op9QF89
The vast majority of the Republican Party is willing to condone treason if doing so protects their job or party. They have no morals or devotion to our Constitution but are craven opportunists no matter how they try to say differently. America lost today, lost big. So depressing.
Close to tears not because Trump is a monster but because most of those Rs sitting do not care. They will bet their families, their democracy on him simply fading away. Rather THAT than risk their careers. They're bereft of conscience. Nearly as pathologically dishonest as he is.
A central paradox of the trial:
(1) Trump’s lawyers will argue that Trump’s supporters on Jan 6 were not controlled by Trump.
(2) Republican Senators will vote to acquit because they believe that Trump’s supporters are highly controlled by Trump.

This makes my heart smile. Our President is a deeply good, empathetic, compassionate, supremely decent human being. Even more so when contrasted with what we had before. https://t.co/zcbQ6bATIq

Speaker Pelosi sent out a release referring to Kevin McCarthy with (Q-CA) instead of (R-CA) in light of his support for Marjorie Taylor Greene. Wow. https://t.co/66XvGIiGsV
10:20 at night and President and Dr. Biden humbly paid their respects to Officer Brian Sicknick without fanfare. I will never stop appreciating how good it is to have a man who wants to be President in office.
Very good article defining three common features of a society that leave it vulnerable to fascism. "Going Back to ‘Normal’ After Fascism is the Biggest Mistake America Can Make" by @umairhhttps://t.co/GWpcX4AO7l
