Team,

By now, we’ve all seen the images, but it is worth stating what happened yesterday in full:

White nationalist insurrectionists seeking to overturn the results of a democratic election violently stormed the U.S. Capitol.

My colleagues and I evacuated, and these insurrectionists controlled the Capitol grounds for hours.

These insurrectionists did not act on their own. Their violent actions were explicitly stoked by a sitting president and Republican members of Congress through their lies, conspiracy theories, and disinformation. We have to hold them all — from Donald Trump to elected Republican officials to the insurrectionists — accountable for stoking violence at the Capitol and get to the bottom of why it was left so unprotected yesterday when we spend billions of dollars in defense so things like this don't happen.

If you agree, add your name next to mine, Alexandria's, Ayanna's, Rashida's, Jamaal’s, and Cori’s to call on Congress to impeach, expel, and investigate those responsible for yesterday’s attack on the U.S. Capitol and our democracy >>

I will not stop fighting until those responsible for this attack are held accountable. Thank you for being in solidarity with us as we work to repair our democracy.
