Yes, remember that the United States Constitution says that “no Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress” who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against" the Constitution, “or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

This morning, @SenSchumer and I placed a call to Vice President Pence to urge him to invoke the 25th Amendment which would allow the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to remove the President. We have not yet heard back from the Vice President.

New: A stack of messages from foreign leaders to President-elect Joe Biden are sitting at the State Department but the Trump admin is preventing him from accessing them, sources say. Traditionally State supports all communications for the President-elect. cnn.com/2020/11/11/pol…

We see now the reality that we can’t take even the tiniest part of our democracy for granted. Every single vote must count — and every single one of us must vote. And as a country, we should be making it easier, not harder to cast a ballot.

Lawyer for Trump campaign admitted to fed Judge Diamond that Trump campaign had observers in count room. They just wanted to be closer & the parties agreed on 6 ft. That’s it. There’s not been one single count room in any state that doesn’t have representatives of BOTH PARTIES

For all of the disinformation floating around, turnout in Milwaukee appears to have been remarkably flat, and Trump actually won a higher vote share there vs. 2016: 2016: Clinton 188,653 (77%), Trump 45,167 (18%) 2020: Biden 194,646 (79%), Trump 48,413 (20%)

The right to vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool or instrument in a democratic society. We must use it.

People need to really look at the communities who delivered these miraculous victories in AZ, GA, MI, MN, etc. They are rarely a focus of traditional political investment or electoral strategy,& are often sacrificed in policy negotiations. One “thank you” would be changing that.
