.@bfouhy contextualizes what the approval means for the GOP: "Right now, we're just seeing the Republican party just really pulling itself apart over what President Trump has done to sort of put his imprint on them and on their future."

.@MaryLTrump’s uncle cashed in for years “running” for president before he won. Now, “We have to explore every single avenue we can to keep him contained,” she says. “He cannot be allowed to hold public office again of any kind...he cannot pretend to be running for office again.”

“There’s no question that he needs to be removed from office,” @MaryLTrump says of her uncle. “I personally think we should go for the trifecta: the 14th, the 25th, and impeachment.” He’s unwell, but “Donald knows the difference between right and wrong. He just doesn't care.”

The U.S. faces a new terrorist threat, on a scale it’s never experienced before, in homegrown right-wing extremism, says counterterrorism expert @Ali_H_Soufan: “Before 9/11, we said 'the lights are blinking red,' and now the lights are *flashing* red.”

Dem impeachment lawyer @danielsgoldman prefers the 25th Amendment, but impeachment has value. “There's a broader message that needs to be sent,” he says. “This kind of fomenting of riots and insurrection...cannot be accepted. It just is not something that America can withstand.”

After discussing post-attack unity with @BrianSchatz, GOP Sen. Steve Daines went on radio and blamed "both sides"... *6* times. Schatz will still work with him, but "right now, the risk is on the right in the United States of America," he says. "Both sides are not equally crazy."

“I don't like to tell everybody to walk around in fear… but certainly in the next week to ten days, I wouldn't visit your state capitol if I were you, unless it's your job to do so, and I think I would stay out of the Washington, DC/Capitol Hill area.” -- @BrianSchatz

Two minutes. Just give @KarenAttiah two minutes to parse the media's responsibility for the Trump catastrophe, and how many of us in the industry have misunderstood and underestimated "how white violence in this country has shaped the country as we know it."

“It was clear from day one that a Trump presidency would be authoritarian, bigoted, serially dishonest, outside the bounds of any previous modern presidency. It was clear that we shouldn’t normalize him. But we did.” @mehdirhasan calls out the media's complicity... and whiteness.

“While much of the nation was watching the Capitol last week, 22,000 people across the U.S. -- parents, grandparents, kids, doctors, nurses, essential workers -- died from Covid-19.” And yet, says @mehdirhasan, “Super-spreader events continue, even inside the Capitol.”

Are Zuck and @Jack deciding who says what, when and where online? “No, they're deciding what, when and where on Facebook and Twitter,” says @KaraSwisher. As for Trump? “He thought he could walk digital Fifth Avenue and shoot anyone, but he can’t, actually.”
