Quite simply, everyone who was part of this attempted coup shld be written out of public life forever. As challenging as that will be, not attempting to do so undermines the premise that these people did anything wrong. You become complicit in the offense. https://t.co/vFkrKZMh8e

Oh darn
Great reporting from @Acosta: Per Sr. Trump adviser, Trump and Pence are coordinating w/far-right allies in House & Senate to make case for overturning election results during the official tabulation of electoral votes in Congress. Adviser concedes effort is likely to fail. #CNN

Reality settling in that Trump won't be able to overturn election results tomorrow. Senior Trump adviser said Pence "just as frustrated, just as upset" as Trump. "But the issue is what constitutionally can be done about it," the adviser noted. Not much.

We are now at 50 new positive cases *per minute* in California; 20% positivity in Los Angeles County. Oh, and: I just became part of these statistics…. (I’m alright so far) https://t.co/YpnNqDyYBI

This must be antifa, right?

We did it!
The White House, the House, and the Senate. Hallelujah. And we elected the son of a woman who picked cotton to the U.S. Senate. That is beautiful. We elected John Lewis’ pastor, and John Lewis’ intern. Just beautiful.
