John,
Today, at Mitch McConnell's recommendation, Senate Republicans voted to acquit Donald Trump on the charge of incitement of insurrection in his second impeachment trial.
This stunning miscarriage of justice sets an incredibly dangerous precedent for the future of our democracy.
We all saw what happened on January 6. Donald Trump riled up a mob of his supporters despite known threats of violence. They attacked the Capitol. And they left five people dead.
Forty-three Republican cowards in the Senate have now given license to this type of behavior for years to come and cemented the transformation of their Party, formally known as the GOP, into the Party of Trump.
This is a dark day for our country and a stark reminder that we are all that stands between decency and truth, and Donald Trump's bottomless pit of hate and self-serving conspiracy theories.
It's never been more important for us to organize and defend our shared values. If you're able, pitch in what you can today so we can keep fighting together.
