@DorisMatsui thank you for taking this stand. I just saw a report from @CNN that James Clyburn said Democrats might wait until after Biden's first 100 days to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate. I think this is a mistake for several reasons. /1

First, the armed insurrection incited by the President is an immediate national security threat. Each day he is in office increases the threat.

Any talk of waiting undercuts the immediacy and seriousness of this threat. /2

Second, the Senate should be given the opportunity to act immediately. If Republican leadership fails to take up impeachment proceedings immediately, that failure is on them. This president has demonstrated that a single day with him left in office is dangerous, every arm /3

of the Democratic party should move as quickly as possible to reinforce this idea and to ensure it has done everything possible to remove him as a threat to our democracy. /4

It's one thing for Republican leadership to once again refuse to hold him accountable, it's quite another for Democratic leadership to accede to *their* desire to move slowly. /5
