John, yesterday’s insurrection was horrifying—but not surprising.
Our seat of government—our shared halls of democracy—was invaded, occupied, and
vandalized for the first time since the War of 1812.
For a moment, American democracy fell to an insurrection incited by the
President of the United States.
Worst of all—this was predictable. What we witnessed yesterday was abhorrent,
but it should have surprised nobody who has paid attention to the last few
years, or months, or days.
This did not occur in a vacuum, John. Violent insurrections don’t appear out
of thin air.
Every Trump Republican is culpable—but none more so than the seditionists (six
in the Senate, over 100 in the House) who, even after the Capitol was invaded
and then secured, continued to attempt todisenfranchise millions of Americans
by opposing the counting of legitimate Electoral College votes.

We have sounded the alarms over the dangers of Trump’s demagoguery and
populism for years.
We knew that every time one of his lies was parroted by a sycophantic enabler,
the base of delusion and deceit grew.
Yesterday was the completely inevitable outcome of this demagoguery and deceit.
For some, yesterday was a wake-up call—that there is a price to pay for toying
with, and undermining, the U.S. Constitution.
For us—it was an affirmation of everything we stand for.
Trump Republicans must pay a price.
Seditionists must pay a price.
Enemies of our country, foreign and domestic, must pay a price.
We won’t back down. And we know you won’t, either.
