Once again, we see Trump responding to defeat with bluster, hate, lies, and threats. His speech alternated between platitudes and thinly-veiled attacks on Congress' authority to investigate and conduct oversight — attacks that Congress must reject. But Trump isn’t the story tonight.

It’s about the powerful new voices who will be leading the effort to hold Trump accountable for every one of his abuses.
