"By articulating a right-wing America First populism already deeply rooted in many circles of the Republican Party, Mr. Trump turned himself into the messiah for MAGA-land. He was an innovator," writes @LisaM_McGirr. https://t.co/5i6z6HH5i7

Some Republicans argued that impeaching Trump was unnecessarily divisive at a time when the nation should be healing and proposing unity, writes @CharlesMBlow, but what does “unity” mean to America? https://t.co/7TFu11WXQf

President Trump’s "style of personalistic authoritarian populism is his alone," writes @LisaM_McGirr. But his "Republicanism, despite his belief that everything is about him, has always been about more than that." https://t.co/LuZvLIgpcI

All Americans are responsible for resolving political differences without violence. But those who have been elected to represent this nation, and who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, bear the most responsibility of all. https://t.co/L8UlqBpz9V

As President Trump is impeached a second time, @NickKristof argues that there's still a long road ahead to squeeze extremism out of the G.O.P. https://t.co/NDG534ueWu

"Everybody from Lehigh University to Shopify has announced it's terminating relationships with the president," writes @GailCollins. "You get the impression a lot of people are trying to find some minor Trump connection to announce they’re severing." https://t.co/FaPbHR3GJK

If President Trump stays in power, @LizMair says that many like her “will be left with no choice but to leave the party, even though right now might otherwise be the exact time to double down, not ditch, and reassert conservative principles.” https://t.co/91ANTSIUHe

A solely political response to what occurred on Jan. 6 “is insufficient,” writes @elliotackerman, a former United States Marine and intelligence officer. “It requires an emotional understanding as well.” https://t.co/dAyprcu9ip

Congress should use the 14th Amendment, write @deepakguptalaw and @brianbeutler. “Senators shouldn’t be allowed to escape or indefinitely delay a vote on Mr. Trump’s conduct simply by running out the clock on his term.” https://t.co/kI3R6ZIIPT

"It seems to me, the 'unity' of America is often conflated with the silence of the oppressed and the pacification of the oppressors," writes @CharlesMBlow. https://t.co/6iBPTljANh

Trump has "been barred from Twitter," writes @GailCollins. "If investigators could just figure out some way to impound Trump’s televisions, that’d be the end of him for sure." https://t.co/TDd1P4lJhG

"Mr. Trump’s treasonous actions demand that he not only be impeached by the House, but also convicted by the Senate and disqualified from ever again holding a position of public trust." #NYTLetters https://t.co/KY4GBPLsPl

As Pres. Trump becomes the first president to be impeached twice, my column looks at why that's not enough and we also have to deal with the ecosystem (Fox News, I'm talking to you) that promotes lunacy: https://t.co/us6Or5txr4

Social media companies push users to be polarized & until they view their platforms as something more than just a business we are going to see a return to the hateful content that drove the insurrection, again and again https://t.co/N3EcR6VZ3s

“The nativism, truth-bashing, white nationalism and anti-democratic policies that we tend to identify with President Trump will outlive his presidency because they predate it: the GOP have been fueling the conditions that enabled his rise since the 1980s.” https://t.co/nRpVDJ1Gf5

For more on the horrific abuse Lisa Montgomery suffered in her early childhood that contributed to her severe mental illness, this article. Heavy, heavy content warning: https://t.co/Kr2CPK4mt5

“The exhilaration of the participants, the chaos of a historic event playing out around you, the violence and latent presence of madness; it reminded me of combat.” My latest for ⁦@nytopinion⁩ https://t.co/8gNm2H2iae

Trump Is the Republican Party’s Past and Its Future https://t.co/kOFWEJAKru

I've thought about this report on Lisa Montgomery's background about every day since I read this. It feels absurdly basic to say, there's something so broken about a state taking on the power to kill its people https://t.co/CBIX0NB43K

My column: Trump Is Blowing Apart the G.O.P. God Bless Him. https://t.co/5DpeEqkwck

In the @nytimes, @deepakguptalaw and I explore the hidden power of the 14th Amendment’s anti-insurrection provisions, particularly if used as a complement to impeachment, rather than a substitute for it. https://t.co/myaEGD5VW8

In the days after the storming of the Capitol, democratic leaders in Europe cannot take the resilience of American democracy for granted, nor the standing power of America’s global influence. Krasnev https://t.co/yV12LcZmBj
