🔥Former @GOP Sen. John Danforth and Rep. Tom Coleman urge Congress to invoke the #14thAmendment to BAR Trump from public office:

"Congress can—and must—pursue an alternative path to protecting our republic from a future Trump presidency."

#BarTrump
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
#14thamendment Section 3 bars from public office those officials who engage in “insurrection or rebellion” against the US.

Passed in the wake of the Civil War, Section 3 was deliberately drafted to encompass any future acts of insurrection or rebellion—such as those of Jan. 6.💥
🔥Danforth and Coleman: “There can be no serious dispute that Trump engaged in insurrection within the meaning of Section 3. While Trump did not himself storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, his actions leading up to and during that day’s events were central to the #insurrection.”
Danforth and Coleman: (Trump’s) actions amount to a historic attack on our democracy, an astonishing abuse of power and a violation of his oath of office — and they rise to the level of “#insurrection or rebellion.”

Trump must be BARRED FROM OFFICE NOW.

#14thamendment #BarTrump
“Many @SenateGOP...acknowledged Trump’s grave misconduct...nonetheless voted to acquit on procedural grounds, The Constitution provides senators with a separate tailor-made tool for precisely the conduct for which they have condemned Trump. They should use it.”

NO EXCUSES!😎

⚠️ALARMING: Cases of the dangerous #COVID-linked multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) are rising, but only 1 #COVID19 vaccine is currently available for kids ≥16 yo.

Full clip:

@TabithaLipkin @NBCLX #coronavirus
Cases of the dangerous #COVID-linked inflammatory syndrome in kids (MIS-C) are rising, and afflicted children may be even more severe.

#coronavirus #COVID19
This inflammatory syndrome in kids (MIS-C) appears similar to #KawasakiDisease and may be an "exaggerated cytokine storm" in kids a few weeks after #coronavirus infection.

Unlike adults, many of the kids do NOT manifest #COVID19 symptoms.

🚨WORRISOME. Cases of #COVID19-linked Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) remain rare, but are spiking higher and are becoming more severe.

"A higher percentage of them are really critically ill."

#coronavirus #WearAMask
nytimes.com/2021/02/16/hea…
TRAGIC: 15-yo Braden Wilson wore masks and rarely left home, but got infected and developed MIS-C.

Braden was put on a ventilator & heart-lung bypass, but his organs failed. On Jan. 5, “they officially said he was brain dead. My boy was gone," recounted his mom Amanda Wilson.😰
Instead of targeting lungs, MIS-C causes inflammation throughout the body and can damage the heart. It typically appears weeks after infection in school-age children children who did NOT experience any classic #coronavirus symptoms.

That evening, Stone spoke at another rally near the WH, in which he claimed: “We will win this fight or America will step off into a thousand years of darkness.” Several of the 6 #Seditionist Oath Keepers continued to provide security for him at this event.🧐

🔥@BenSasse on his vote: Trump LIED that he ‘won the election by a landslide.’ He lied about widespread voter fraud...despite losing 60 straight court challenges...He tried to intimidate @GaSecofState to 'find votes' and overturn that state’s election.

#TrumpIsGuilty
Sasse: “(Trump) repeated these lies when summoning his crowd—parts of which were widely known to be VIOLENT—to Capitol Hill to intimidate Pence and Congress...endangering the life of the VP and bringing us dangerously close to a bloody constitutional crisis.”

#TrumpIsGuilty
Sasse: “If Congress cannot forcefully respond to an intimidation attack on Article I instigated by the head of Article II(Trump), our constitutional balance will be permanently tilted. A weak and timid Congress will increasingly submit to an emboldened and empowered presidency.💥
