ALT The letter subject is: Restore the Fairness Doctrine: stop lies from destroying democracy and the body is: Democracy Dies in Darkness. The Washington Post is not wrong. Civic community is poisoned by lies. When people believe absurdities they commit atrocities.
Trump lied to the American people daily. His big lie about the election has torn America apart, given life to narratives of victimhood and conspiracy, and brought us to the brink of civil war and dictatorship.
Please retire the expression "that's not who we are" because the "we" that includes all now includes White supremacist insurrectionists and believers in the lie.
All of your colleagues in the GOP need to publicly renounce the big lie or step down.
Please restore the Fairness Doctrine. Make it an urgent priority.
Fox News gave currency to lies. It should not be playing in military bases and public agencies. We cannot detrumpify and restore our democracy without a shared factually correct external reality.

“if you are protesting for social justice, for Black Lives Matter, for immigrant kids kept in cages, you risk arrest and violence, but if you are carrying a Confederate or Trump flag you can walk right into the Capitol” washingtonpost.com/investiga…
The Proud Boys are still standing back and standing by, expect future violence from these people.
Here's what their leader is saying about giving aid and comfort to the insurrection mob that attacked the Capitol.
.@SenatorCollins By inciting this mob attack on our Capitol, Trump betrayed our country and the will of the people. I call on you to impeach and remove him from office. #RemoveNow#DoYourDuty#mepolitics
Among the frenzied crowd of Trump supporters in our nation’s capital Wednesday was one many Mainers will recognize: failed U.S. Senate candidate Max Linn. newscentermaine.com/article/…
The attack on our Capitol happened because of the direct incitement of some Republicans and the SILENCE OF OTHERS... we’re looking at you @SenatorCollins. We demand that Trump be removed from office NOW. #RemoveNow#mepolitics
JUST IN: Maine @SenAngusKing says the Vice President and the Cabinet should consider invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, joining a growing number of lawmakers including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
I am cosponsoring *both* of these House impeachment resolutions.
If the Vice President and Cabinet do not act to remove this dangerous President with the 25th amendment, Congress must act.
Pres. Trump incited an insurrectionist mob to storm our Capitol & prevent a peaceful transition of power. He is a danger to our democratic institutions.
We need to impeach him, invoke the 25th Amendment, and remove him from office.
Trump must be impeached, again. The House must draw up articles of impeachment immediately, move quickly to vote on them, and send them to the Senate for a speedy trial, where Trump must be convicted and disqualified from ever holding federal office again. indivisible.org/demand-your-…
