This twitter thread from photographer Leah Millis says it all:
I took this photograph a month ago, today.
@Kiehart took this photo as I climbed back down the scaffolding not long after taking that photo. @chrismatography said it best, “I don’t think my mind ever left. I’m still there.”
And this one will be with me forever, too. It’s hard for me to look at.

That last one is still hard to believe is real. But it is. And the Republicans cannot summon the tiniest bit of patriotism it would take to shut this whole thing down. They just don’t have it in them.
