I'm really...amazed? That Trump hasn't trotted himself out in front of the cameras yet to rant against twitter. But is this also him refusing to be backed into a corner of relying on mainstream media? Which is the only avenue he has remaining. I don't know that he has the fortitude to stand by his principles like this when it comes to his need to feel important and heard. Maybe his legal team got to him. It won't last forever, I'm sure. It's kind of nice tho. Like a glimpse of what the post-Trump era will be like. No Trump in sight.

Should we start a new Impeachment Part Deux thread tomorrow? I feel like the long ones start to get glitchy. WE definitely need a new thread.

I seen another Tweet about this from a not-blue-check person, but didn't know if it were true or not. Looks like it is 🤬. I'm confused by this. So Whip Clyburn has a regular congressional office in the Rayburn House Office Building like any other member (across a couple of different buildings) and that's completely google-able. Google "James Clyburn office" and it's right there. It's also on his clyburn.house.gov site. He also has a Whip office off the floor. Both have his name on them. So is he saying they found a third separate office he has that's not findable? It's completely possible, I'm just saying I've never heard of this. I'm not doubting what the Congressman is saying, I'm just trying to understand. coming in late, so this may have been covered, but yes. All Senators as well as some House leaders have “hideaway” offices in the Capitol. They are unmarked.

I was talking to my 8 year old son about all of this and he was like why is anyone still talking about the election? It was hard to explain but I think he got my answer. He also wants a giant turtle to come and stop the terrorists if they come on the 20th.

An incredible photo of Eugene Goodman from the NYT. I keep watching this video. That moment when he starts to try to block the hallway with the senate door, but knows he can’t do it alone, takes the chance that they don’t know where they are, deliberately antagonizes the guy leading the mob by pushing him, then leads them away. All as a Black man alone against a crowd of white supremacists. Heroic doesn’t quite seem to cover it. This man is so brave and strong and I don’t even have the words to describe how smart and quick thinking he was.

The combination of how quickly he takes in his options, how quickly he comes up with a plan, and how he does not hesitate to enact that plan despite significant danger to himself... exceptional.

I just want to give him a hug and make sure he's surrounded by love. He truly is a hero.

They have their official office, then a “secret” office that is more casual. Especially more senior members.

Looks like Parl*r was hacked — such a shame — and people had uploaded all sorts of identifying info. Oops.

Let’s get this show on the road. Bringing it forward tomorrow, giving Pence 24 hrs for 25th and then impeaching. So they will present the resolution on the 25th today. Pence has 24 hours. If no response then it goes to the floor for another 24? Then they will begin impeachment? So impeachment Wednesday? I'm trying to understand.

So someone I know mentioned that a bar owner in our home town was there. She didn't state if he was in the capitol itself or not, but did mention that he was snapping and facebooking during it. I found the guys name, I don't know him. I send a tip, right?

NM - he was in the building. I found a facebook post. Off to the FBI I go Take screenshots in case they delete! I turned in someone the other day, and it is great watching her try to distance herself from someone else local who was caught in the capital. I’m very 🤨 at her saying they didn’t go together (I don’t believe her)
