1. Can there be any doubt now that Trump has launched a major natl campaign to overturn the election results, which includes the sustained use of force/violence, to stay in power?
There just can't be any question abt this any longer, any attempt to find an innocent explanation.. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1348837112372752385

2. Here's Fiona Hill in @Politico on why of course what we are witnessing has been an attempted coup..... https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/01/11/capitol-riot-self-coup-trump-fiona-hill-457549
3. Lack of preparedness for Jan 6th, the clear lying coming from DOD/DOJ/Capitol Police, lack of any kind of public briefing by the govt since, resignation of DHS Sec all suggest the conspiracy to overturn the election went way beyond the White House.... https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1347941379499024385
4. We know the conspiracy to overturn the election included police officers, vets, Republican Attorneys General, hundreds of Members of Congress, orgs all over the country - why wouldn't it include senior members of the Trump Admin, Capitol Police? https://twitter.com/LisaQuigleyTN/status/1348966237309689858
5. A reminder from @BrandyZadrozny that at the core of the Trump-aligned QAnon narrative is a judgement day, where Members of Congress/other govt leaders would be executed....."storming" the Capitol, killings Members core to this part of Trumpworld. https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1348808932177956864
6. Just spitballing here but think Congress, FBI should be questioning Stephen Miller about the attempted coup, the insurrection like as soon as possible.
Someone had to organize everything we are seeing. As this video shows, he was clearly involved... https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/530092-stephen-miller-alternate-electors-will-keep-trump-challenge-alive-post

7. Here's @maggieNYT describing Trump watching the riot unfold, being pleased, doing nothing. This is very much worth listening too. https://twitter.com/AllisonLHedges/status/1348969698692628480
8. Chad Wolf. He was out of the country on Jan 6th, and now is unwilling to do his job to ensure the safety of the leaders of Congress, the new government next week.
Even in the Trump era this a truly low moment.
Agree w/ @FranTownsend here. https://twitter.com/CBSThisMorning/status/1348970935257280513

9. More on why Chad Wolf is an historic coward - the threat to the homeland next week isn't just in Washington, it is in all 50 states, and it requires a coordinated national response. https://twitter.com/RonBrownstein/status/1348979805174185985
10. It's pretty clear McConnell, McCarthy and GOP Chair McDaniel should hold a joint press conference accepting the results of the election and asking their supporters to stand down. Absent this basic step, entire party is complicit in violence to come. https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1348704252940726272
11. Time now for GOP leaders to step up, denounce the lie, accept the election results, put an end to the uprising. This has gone on long enough.
Good stuff here from @joshscampbell https://twitter.com/joshscampbell/status/1348972691622158343

12. Very good thread from Senator @TinaSmithMN.

Republicans have a binary choice - they either accept the election as legitimate and tell people to go home next week, or they are aiding an insurrection against the US.
It's that simple.

13. There is going to be video like this for everyone who voted with Trump last week. How do they walk it back?

My hope is they do it now - declare the election valid, ask people to go home. If they don't there are officially part of the insurrection.
