SCHUMER AND PELOSI SHOULD RESIGN.
2020 CANDIDATES OUTSIDE THE TOP TEN SHOULD WITHDRAW.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS FAILING TO OPPOSE AN AUTHORITARIAN TAKEOVER.
EXTRAORDINARY TIMES REQUIRE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES.

TO BE CLEAR:
Schumer and Pelosi should resign their leadership positions. Trump is effectively above the law and they are busy working with him on infrastructure week. House Dems have the power to #impeach and IT DOES NOT MATTER if the Senate won't convict.

Every minute, every hour, every day, there's some brazen violation of our fundamental norms & values by Trump and these power-hungry GOP lawmakers.
How long are we going to tolerate the Democratic Party's passivity, the only institution big enough to protect democracy? How long?

We are ALREADY in a constitutional crisis.
Remember when the blue wave ensured that Dems would have subpoena power? But what good is that power if the GOP simply disregards the rule of law??
Until we recognize the magnitude of the threat, we will continue to lose ground.

WE DON'T NEED MORE INVESTIGATIONS
Blatant violations of the emoluments clause.
Incitement of violence against the press in subversion of the First Amendment.
Kidnapping migrant babies.
Fanning the flames of racism and emboldening Nazis.
ALL ARE #IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES.

AM I TOO ALARMIST?
I'd rather be alarmist now than when it's too late.
Listen to those who study authoritarian regimes and have been warning us for a long time.
Like @sarahkendzior and @ruthbenghiat

I mean, what is the use of these statements from Schumer and Pelosi without MEANINGFUL actions to remedy the threat to our democracy?
It's not like there isn't public support for holding these corrupt and lawless Republicans accountable for assaulting the foundations of our democracy.
I'm with @ewarren on #impeachment:
“There is no political inconvenience exception to the United States Constitution. If any other human being in this country had done what’s documented in the Mueller Report they would be arrested and put in jail.”

DANGEROUS INFLECTION POINT
As some of us anticipated, the post-#Mueller period would be the most perilous for our democracy. Trump and his GOP cohorts are consolidating power, ignoring subpoenas and scoffing at the rule of law.
This process only goes in one direction: WORSE.
