Hi,
A right-wing mob stormed Congress today in an attempt to stop the
electoral vote count -- minutes after Donald Trump spoke at their rally.
It took hours for Trump to speak out about this attack. When he finally
did, he spent most of time talking about how he believes the election was
stolen, the opposite of de-escalation.
It's just the latest brazen assault on our democracy stemming from Trump's
refusal to accept his defeat in the 2020 election. Rep. Ilhan Omar and
other progressives in Congress are now drawing up articles of
impeachment.^1 We need to speak up and urge Congress to act
immediately. There's no time to lose.

Trump has abused his power ever since he took office four years ago. But
now he is putting Congress and our very democracy at risk.
On Saturday he tried to influence Georgia's Secretary of State to change
the vote count, and made threats if they refused his demands. That's
trying to corrupt the election, through and through.
Trump cannot be trusted to facilitate a peaceful transfer of power. There
are still two weeks to go until President-elect Biden is inaugurated. We
need to tell Congress to act now.
