America is so much better than what we’re seeing today.

Imagine a bunch of Black & Brown people storming the Capitol, sitting at Senate President’s chair, trespassing into Speaker’s office? How would Trump have respomded? Trump threw the whole force of the law on PEACEFUL Black Lives Matter protestors so he could pose for a pic.

The only other person enjoying this chaos & anarchy as much as our defeated president is Vladimir Putin.

This didn’t happen in a vacuum. Trump thinks he can get away w/overturning an election thru violence b/c elected Republicans let him get away w/abuses of power for 4 years. They looked the other way from a deranged narcissist, b/c they liked his SCOTUS nominees or whatever.

Might be a little late for that. I guess better late than never.

Sad and tragic day for our Country.

This team will work to move us closer to the American ideal of equal justice under law. They will work to restore independence of the Justice Department, always follow facts and the law, and serve and protect the American people with integrity. buildbackbetter.gov/nominees-and-a…
