THREAD: Today, by voting to cover up Trump’s crimes, the Senate declared that our Constitution does not apply to the powerful few and granted this lawless president unrestricted power. Those Senators who voted to acquit have exposed themselves as traitors to American democracy.
They have consented to further abuses of power by Trump at the expense of our rights and our lives. This is a crisis of democracy. Our institutions have failed us and so, we, the people must take responsibility for our safety, for our liberty, and for our country’s future.

Throughout these last 3 years, we have watched in despair as Donald Trump has caged children, betrayed our values, enriched himself, divided the nation, fostered bigotry, corrupted our institutions and desecrated the constitution.
...at every turn, we have stood firmly and proudly in defiance of him and done our best to enable our fellow Americans to do the same.
and here we are, Donald Trump has been impeached and he awaits his verdict in the Senate...

We completely agree with what @JaredHuffman said after this meeting: “I hope the message is not that we have to wait months and months for all of these things to wind through the courts..." (continued in next tweet)
"Because that would essentially be a slow-walk strategy of betting everything on the election, and punting, essentially, our constitutional duty in this moment.”
Exactly. That's why @JaredHuffman cosponsored @reprashida's resolution to open an impeachment inquiry. (continued)

(Thread) Two days ago, volunteers with By the People were taken away in handcuffs while occupying the halls of a Congressional building. Their demands were simple, that Congress take up @RepRashida’s House Resolution 257 and begin impeachment proceedings now.
B/c the nation and its people cannot afford to wait any longer.
Impeachment is not an optional task, it is a *duty* prescribed by the Constitution for Congress to carry out when & if the President has openly violated the law or contradicted the norms & values of the United States
On our way to the White House!
