I have nothing more to say today, because I could never say enough right now. You all know what happened at the Capitol following on to Trump egging a crowd on at a midday rally. In fact, he said he’d walk to the Capitol building with them. He didn’t. And if you don’t know, you can read about it here. Or here. (Although I’m sure I’ll have plenty more to say tomorrow.)

So for now, I will share some of the words of a few select others:

Former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis:

Today’s violent assault on our Capitol, an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule, was fomented by Mr. Trump, His use of the Presidency to destroy trust in our election and to poison our respect for fellow citizens has been enabled by pseudo political leaders whose names will live in infamy as profiles in cowardice. Our Constitution and our Republic will overcome this stain and We the People will come together again in our never-ending effort to form a more perfect Union, while Mr. Trump will deservedly be left a man without a country.”

Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper doesn’t mention Trump by name, but Tweets:

This afternoon’s assault on the US…
