1. There are no good response options, but of them all, prosecution of everyone that CAN be prosecuted is the most doable.

These fanatics- we all recognized them. Hell- @oneunderscore__ has files on them! They are now going to turn to attacking state capitals & the inauguration.
2. Giuliani & Don Jr are just as guilty as Trump himself of unleashing that mob down the street. And like I tweeted out earlier, there is a big diff in the security set up for Trump's rally & what we normally see for a rally, like the recent BLM rally. Makes you wonder if Trump
3. didn't intentionally leave the Capitol vulnerable to his "army" and if so, he didn't set that shit up alone. Keep in mind, he suddenly cancelled his New years plans at Mar-a-largo and came back early to the DC. It was clear that the time that it related back to the 6th. One
4. thing that is clear is that everything would be flowing through and out of Trump Int'l's bar. That's the "room where all their evil shit happens" and as you can see, they are hardly sophiscated at crime. What they did yesterday, as terrible it is, it is also poorly executed
5. There has to be criminal violations involved, a law enforcement needs to get these people locked up so they can't engage in the next damn plot. Trump can only cause trouble when he has people to help him.

1. Yes, it's much worse. There were maybe 12 handguns defending our Congress. If any of the terrorists who stormed our Capitol had a bomb he could've wiped out most of our Congress.

They posted their entire attack plan online in advance.

The cold, hard truth is that security
2. CHOSE to be light, chose to make it possible for these Far-Right extremists to menace Congress, likely they were ordered to by Trump appointees, & that in some cases didn't have to be bc they support Trump. Every guard that hang out w, abetted, or helped these insurrectionists
3. should be charged. Its understandable that many did not confront a force they would have been overwhelmed by- that is diff. But the ones that escorted them into the Capitol??? The Capitol Police are currently protected by a FOIA ban. That ban should be exempted for the purpose

1. I realize this is a bit awkward, timing wising, but I NEED to promo a critical event for @FairfaxDems bc its a kick-off for Virginia's 2021 election cycle, which will be to keep the state's governing trifecta, post- Trump.

VA is where my theory was born- I knew the demos
2. of the state, esp its high rates of college ed, were going to produce a large backlash effect to Trump's election. It ended up being YUGE- electing the D gov in a 9pt route & in 2 cycles erasing a 30+ seat adv for Rs in the state house & a state senate majority to have both
3. chambers controlled by Ds now. And Ds have USED that governing trifecta. With no filibuster to gum up the works at the state level- Ds have been busy 🐝🐝 in VA, dealing w a log jam of legislative inaction that hasd been caused by GOP control of the legislature through 2 Dem

1. Some of you are unimpressed at the little things. Graham announcing on the senate floor- "that's it! I'm done!" & confirming that Biden straight up won the election, or Nick Mulvaney resigning a cushy diplomatic post, McConnell's speech & admonishment at his peers who indulge
2. Trump w the senate challenge, Rep @TomReedCongress's unequivocal & impassioned floor speech about what is right and standing w Democrats on behalf of "right" & all of the other little tokens of Trump resistance that are FINALLY popping up here in our country's darkest hours.
3. But with about 30ish% of the country seriously entertaining the fully nutty inclinations of this madman, we really NEED the GOP to change its mind and reject him. If many little acts happen, they might form a BIG effect. What has always given Trump power is the collective

1. This man, @mattgaetz, in particular. How many innocent people has this man's extremism harmed, or even killed?

Many, bc unlike most of his colleagues, Gaetz doesn't endure the campaign role of the job so he gets to do the legislator role. Oh no. He endures the legislator role
2. to be able to have the performative role that comes with the legislative role. You can see that in his scorecard, which is devoid of accomplishment for his constituents specifically, or America generally. Nope, Gaetz is a Fear Capitalist. He is chasing two highs- the💵 high &
3. the power/adoration/influence high. @mattgaetz can sell crazy conservative very well and he knows it. That he's actively killing both the country and literal humans doesn't seem to bother him. At least not yet. But he's going on my short list of special targets for the pac,

1. Among the many lessons from yesterday is the most glaring, our lawmakers were FAR too vulnerable yesterday in session. The only reason some aren't dead is bc there wasn't someone with will to kill them in that horde. Security & protocols for them MUST be improved across the
2. board. In addition, we have a madman in the prez & we NEED TO DO SOMETHING. We can't just hope he doesn't do something else! I have to say, I think McConnell now gets it, the prob will be McCarthy & the House. McCarthy has solved the problems w leadership that @SpeakerBoehner
3. and @SpeakerRyan had by simply abandoning ANY EFFORT to lead. He's just let the Freedom Caucus folks have full control of the House and they've used it to destroy the party in that chamber and turn it into a clown show. So he's "leading from behind" and popular bc he is giving

1. Funny toy should mention that bc I'm wanting to see if @MSNBC might be able to put together a roll of election returns that recounts how Biden's win happened & explains esp how the mail vote that was held "hostage" until midnight in MI & PA (other states too) bc the Trump camp
2. had sued to force these states to hold the mail votes until midnight on election night so they could create a "red mirage" and have it look like Trump was winning, hoping people might not put together that only 50% of the vote was in. And if you'll recall- some of y'all on
3. on twitter were kind of fooled by this effort. But I knew they were doing it, and frankly, it came off exactly as they had planned- better really, epic. BC the day-of vote was SO slanted to Trump & bc there was such a lag waiting for the mail vote to start coming in. But the
