    . McCarthy congratulates Biden and Harris, says he's proud of them. No acknowledgement that he pushed the Big Lie they didn't win, joined that mendacious TX AG lawsuit, voted to disenfranchise AZ and PA voters based on lies AFTER the terrorist siege.

    My late night thoughts - it can get much worse than Trump! The next guy with his politics will be “presidential” instead of blustering and incompetent. The left must continue to organize, build power, and elect local and state officials, so we don’t get back here in 4 years.

    Y'all, people know that Joe Biden isn't some magical savior. We know there's still work to be done. Accountability, all of that. But today, people get to be happy *just* because trump is gone. This has been ROUGH. Seeing him leave is reason to celebrate. Let folks have that.

    Our institutions failed. Our safeguards failed. Our checks and balances failed. Most of our officials failed. The American people did NOT fail. We fought. And against overwhelming odds, we derailed an autocrat. And we will continue to fight for the justice we deserve.

    He's gone. And now, it is up to us to drive out what he represents. He is lies and bigotry and injustice and tyranny embodied--and the work is only beginning to drive him out of our body politic. Joy, today. Resolve, tomorrow.

    We made it to the end of that raggedy presidency. More than 400,000 Americans did not, including those executed by the Trump administration for no other reason than their need to be as cruel was possible. I am so happy that it’s over. I am so deeply sad that it ever happened.
