Late nights w CSPAN to hear Republican & Democrat arguments. Just heard this on radio; reflecting this is a CONSCIENCE VOTE, not for re-elections or $ in bank accounts. How will our U.S. senators vote?

For the first time ever, there will be a special live broadcast of the Inauguration made especially for students and families.

And we will always be grateful for the men and women who stayed at their post to defend this historic place. To those who wreaked havoc in our Capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the People's House.
Today’s shameful assault on our democracy — anointed at the highest level of government — must not deter us from our responsibility to the Constitution. Tonight, we will move forward with the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election.
White privilege is on display like never before in the U.S. Capitol.
If these people were Black. . .well, we all know what would be happening right now to them.
