Former President Trump incited a violent insurrection against our democracy. He charged up a violent mob to attack the Capitol to stop the Congress from fulfilling our Constitutional duty to count the electoral ballots that have duly elected the next President & Vice President 1/
The mob violently attacked law enforcement and smashed its way into the Capitol, calling for the hanging of the Vice President and hunting the Speaker and Members of Congress. 2/ #Capitol#ImpeachAndConvict
Five Americans have died following this violent attack and more than 50 police officers were seriously injured, including 15 officers who were hospitalized – and without law enforcement’s heroism, the attack could have been even worse. 3/ #Capitol#ImpeachAndConvict

As I work on threading the 2020 #DemPartyPlatform for Twitter users, I often think about how the republicans this year did not meet (even virtually),hash out,debate or draft a 2020 platform of their own.What kind of major political party chooses this path? #GOPBetrayedAmerica
What does this say about the
Republican Party of today? Are they unorganized? Unmotivated? Unable to come to consensus? Unsure? Useless? Corrupt? Sycophantic? Why don’t we ask @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell? He’s been sorta quiet on the matter. #GOPBetrayedAmerica
A Platform is an essential document;a blueprint that envelops & embraces the party’s values,principles, plans, proposals & priorities. All we know about 2020 Republicans: they completely support the 45th president & his agenda even tho he has been impeached & removed by voters.

Only one party will accelerate defense transformation in a responsible,ethical way,while restoring stability, predictability, & fiscal discipline in defense spending.1/12
#Democrats believe the United States military should be the best-trained, best-equipped, and most effective fighting force in the world. 2/12 #USMilitary
Ending the forever wars, reducing the enormous stress on our forces, and rationalizing our global military footprint are essential prerequisites to securing our competitive edge—but they’re not enough.3/12 #DemPartyPlatform#EndlessWar
