Completely forgot I tweeted this on the morning of Jan 6, walking into work

You can see police set up a perimeter of barricades far away from the building that morning. I remember flashing my badge to a cop at one of these barricades, again, far away from the building. Somehow this perimeter completely collapsed in just a few hours.

You can see this perimeter in this photo I took looking out the north side of the building at 1:48, when Trump supporters first started streaming in from the Mall.

East Front, 2:07: perimeter gone, massing at the steps

Murphy: "What if 2024 comes down to just one state? It’s a lot easier to steal just one state…what if these same people who support the Texas lawsuit decide there’s no way they won our state so let’s just throw out the result and choose a Republican?"

Murphy: "If that happens our country isn't a democracy. The American experiment is over. That's why this moment is so frightening no matter whether it's successful...that's why more than a handful of Republicans need to stand up right now"

"Don't just assume this system is going to be around for another 200 years...it's just a series of choices that we make. The Constitution itself is not strong enough, not durable enough, without all of us making a choice ...that we accept a result," Murphy adds

Asked about a waiver for Gen. Austin, Bernie Sanders talks about need for more stimulus checks
