FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

If you're writing 1800 words about how we failed to account for January 6 and DON'T mention SCOTUS (particularly if you're comparing with Brazil) or impeachment, you're simply doing propaganda for the GOP.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.
Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

Five years ago, we watched a violent mob try to overturn an election. We don’t honor democracy by forgetting that day. We honor it by defending the truth, strengthening institutions, and refusing to normalize political violence.

And really disgusting because our tax dollars were redirected to the billionaires and away from endeavors like Corporation for Public Broadcasting that served us all.

Sen. Van Hollen: Donald Trump wants US oil companies to be able to grab Venezuelan oil. At the end of the day, that's what this is all about. He has put our troops at risk so that more American oil companies can make profits in Venezuela and his billionaire buddies on Wall Street can benefit

This is just a taste of why, despite Special Counsels Mueller, Durham, Hur all testifying before Congress in public hearings, the Republicans refused to allow Jack Smith’s testimony, given just two weeks ago to be given publicly. And why Jim Jordan released the transcript on New Year’s Eve.

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?
