GOP Rep. Liz Cheney: "Today, we face threat America has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol, in an effort to steal the election, has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him." pic.twitter.com/Uh6IOcfRHA

  Guess we have to see if they kill democracy once the natural thermostatic pattern puts them back in power. Fun.

  Indeed we cannot. We have not, since at least Jan 6th. Yes we have a highly functional Executive in the WH. He's keeping all the plates spinning — for now. But by 2022 it may all crash down. The GOP is not a participant in running this nation, just running it down.

  Only One GOP member stayed in the chamber to listen to her. THAT is a strong statement about how badly broken the GOP is, and therefore our democracy.

  @Sen_JoeManchin and @SenatorSinema are complicit in this, they're part of the anti-democracy caucus and must be voted out or made inconsequential.
