Today, the House of Representatives took up impeachment against Donald Trump for his role in inciting an insurrection against the United States of America.

I supported that Article of Impeachment. First thing this morning, as Chair of the House Rules Committee, I started the impeachment discussion on the House floor, where just a week ago I ran for my life when Trump-inspired domestic terrorists stormed the Capitol. We're in unprecedented times, from the invasion of the Capitol to a president being impeached twice, and our choices will define our values for the future.

This year has been a unique challenge. Not only are we facing a public health crisis unlike anything we've ever seen and weathering a brutal recession, but we had to do so in the midst of a presidential election to decide the very fate of our democracy.

Donald Trump lost, in part thanks to our tireless effort and desire to shape a better future for everyone who calls this country home. But there are still many in his party trying to reshape our democratic norms for the worse, even now.

That's why we must keep up the fight into 2021, to ensure the future is as bright as it can be, and that our friends and neighbors have nothing to fear—no matter who they are, who they love, or what they believe.

Mitch McConnell has a "graveyard" of progressive legislation in his office – bills supported by the majority of Americans and passed by the House, but that upset Mitch's billionaire buddies.

Election security measures. Health care reform. Civil rights. Privacy guarantees. Reproductive rights protections. Sensible gun safety reform.

When Donald Trump leaves office, do we want Mitch McConnell to still be obstructing our progressive agenda in the U.S. Senate?

Hell. No.
