Brett Pransky, former Ohio State House candidate, English Professor @BrettPransky

Brett Pransky: These folks are finding each other & binding together & we're seeing the results of that--it's been absolutely awful.

Tom Arnold, Actor/Comedian @TomArnold

Tom Arnold: We won the second Civil War because black people voted, and thank goodness they did. Warnock & Ossoff kept having to go on Fox News & they did really well.

Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: The impeachment does have to get out of the way, whether it's the hour after Biden's sworn in or before. It's up to Schumer, too.

Richard Ojeda: You may have people showing up, but they won't get anywhere near the inauguration. They've threatened to march on all 50 state capitals, & I don't know that the local law enforcement agencies are ready for that.

Pat Garofalo: Ad dollars used to go to local newspapers; now they go towards buying Mark Zuckerberg another yacht.

Sarah Burris, Reporter, Raw Story @SarahBurris @RawStory@SarahBurris @RawStory

Sarah Burris: I did not expect them to march into Congress with the intention to kill Mike Pence & to hang Nancy Pelosi. About 10 Capitol police ofcrs have been suspended & the leader resigned.

Joe Walsh: Trump has a hold on Republican-based voters like no one else has.

Jared Yates Sexton, author, political analyst, host of the Muckrake Podcast @JYSexton

Jared Yates Sexton: Mitch McConnell's only actual task in the Senate is to be sure people don't believe that the gov't can do something good for people.

@JYSexton

Nancy Flanagan, Education blogger @nancyflanagan @BadassTeachersA

Nancy Flanagan: Biden was not my first choice for Pres--he came pretty far down the list for me--but I think someone I may have liked more wouldn't have been elected. I think Biden was elected b/c he was more centrist.

Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Nina Jankowicz, author, HOW TO LOSE THE INFORMATION WAR @wiczipedia

Nina Jankowicz: Part of the reason we didn't take the threat of violence seriously on Wednesday is it was a drip, drip, drip over time. The seeds of it started with the Pizzagate Theory.

@wiczipedia

Scott Paul, President of Alliance for American Manufacturing @ScottPaulAAM @KeepItMadeinUSA

Scott Paul: There are fewer manufacturing jobs today than there were when Donald Trump took office. Our trade deficit is higher today than it was when Donald Trump took office. I think Joe Biden can do better.

Peter Montgomery, Senior Fellow, People for the American Way @petemont @peoplefor @RightWingWatch @RDispatches

Peter Montgomery: We clearly have members of Congress who are very keen to figure out what happened in the breakdown of the defense of the Capitol. The FBI & the Justice Dept have created a task force to investigate this.
