Our Democratic leaders MUST call a news conference denouncing possible use of the Insurrection Act

And the sooner the better. And it should include as many of our elected representatives as possible.

They should be DEMANDING a meeting with Traitor, and they should be DEMANDING an investigation by Congress

And someone with the requisite fire in words. Someone who sounds like they are speaking to the people and protecting the people.

Chris Murphy!

Chris Van Hollen; Maxwell Frost; Melanie Stansbury;

There's more, but my brain is not firing on all cylinders right now.

Dems must lead! No one wants this to continue!!!

This is historic.

Everyone remembers Kent State.

Everyone (over 50?) remembers that photo of the man being shot in the head in the NYT.

These are turning points!
