Do you remember that moment, after the first plane hit the North Tower?

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (3)
Americans everywhere watched, shocked, but scratching their heads and wondering what was going on.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (4)
And then we *saw* that second plane hit.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (5)
And we knew.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (6)
We ALL knew.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (7)
The whole world knew.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (8)
And Americans from all backgrounds began to act.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (9)
First responders, professionals and volunteers, rushed to the site from all over to help in the best way they were able.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (10)
Firefighters from Oklahoma City, the horror of terror still fresh in their minds, drove overnight to New York in one of their trucks.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (11)
In times of crisis we cannot wait for the law’s delay, or the conclusion of an investigation, to take action.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (12)
Now is the time to put America first.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (13)
Now is the time to put the American People first.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (14)
Not through lip service, or mere denunciations.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (15)
And not with the promise of some future action.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (16)
But with immediate action — filled with basic decency, and integrity.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (17)
Like all those first responders did.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (18)
What are you waiting for?

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (19)
Our nation is actively under attack.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan (20)
And you know, we ALL know — the entire world knows! — that @realdonaldtrump has sided with those who are attacking us.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan @realDonaldTrump (21)
And so, for all that is good and beloved about America, you must act now.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan @realDonaldTrump (22)
You both must use your unique and meaningful Constitutional authority.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan @realDonaldTrump (23)
Declare war if the Congress determines that we should.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan @realDonaldTrump (24)
But you must remove the enemy in the White House.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan @realDonaldTrump (25)
Time is running out.

@washingtonpost @hodgman @SenMajLdr @SpeakerRyan @realDonaldTrump (26)
The Towers are already falling...
