I think Chuck Todd's comment (Biden doesn't have a loyal fan base) illustrates the way we're letting Trump redefine politics. A president is not supposed to be a cult leader. Similarly, qualities like thoughtful, decent, measured, and balanced are now spun as "weak."

Hi, @GOPleader McCarthy, Did you miss the federal court ruling last week stating that the House’s impeachment investigation was legal and legitimate even without a formal vote by lawmakers? The judge also held that the White House is “openly stonewalling” Congress. 1/

Some reflections on today's hearing: Cassidy Hutchinson's sworn testimony was solid and damning against Trump. The evidence took us from "everyone knows that Trump knew" (which isn't actually admissible evidence) to sworn eyewitness testimony, which is admissible. 1/

So he stole the documents, he has no right to exert privilege over them, and he's demanding a special master. It seems to me that the only value in reading this is the entertainment value. He really doesn't get that he isn't the president anymore.

"We Stand Behind the President" is worth watching. I've long felt that Trump is only part of the problem. The other—and perhaps larger part—is that Trump is being propped up by a major political party and retains 40%+ approval.

Goldman just pointed out that Trump's foreign policy aligns with Putin, and against the U.S. intelligence community. The GOP will have to decide whose side they are on: The U.S. intelligence community or Vladimir Putin. Hm. Which will the GOP pick?🤔

(Thread) Oligarchy v. Democracy In dealing with a pandemic, a democratic leader would base success on how many lives are saved. A would-be oligarch, on the other hand, bases success on whether he maintains power. That's the clue to what's happening.

Each day that passes without a national strategy, experts say, will raise the ultimate death toll. Right now, there aren't enough tests and gear as states compete to buy on the open market. States can't trace who has the virus and where it is spreading.

The Wisconsin GOP pulled every voter suppression trick out of their big bag of dirty tricks. But when voters are determined enough, voter suppression doesn't work⤵️ Expect the same in November—if we all do our part. Congrats @WisDems and @benwikler

Wow. Just wow. Schiff is a master. He concluded by saying (passionately) that we all know this president. We know what we're dealing with. We know we can't trust him to do what is best for the country. He will do only what is best for Donald Trump. Mic drop.

That's why, as @selectedwisdom reminds us, a goal of active measures is to get you to lose confidence in democratic processes. Trump is trying his best to get you to lose confidence in democratic processes. He is trying to make you think he can pull this off. 6/

No need. He gave the Democrats what they needed. He provided testimony under oath that the White House is obstructing the House inquiry. He also admitted that he lied to Fox and the media, and basically admitted that he talked freely to Mueller because he had immunity.

If states can shield their laws from review by federal courts, then CA will use that authority to help protect lives. We will work to create the ability for private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon or ghost gun kit or parts in CA.

This was no doubt that Trump intended to take over and profit from the German vaccine industry. Because the Trumps never actually add value. Their "fortune" comes from cheating and taking advantage of situations. It's all they know how to do. You all know the story, right? 1/

We should be making it easier to vote, not harder. It shouldn't take a pandemic to force that change, But the urgency is now crystal clear: All states should allow no-excuse vote by mail. Starting right now.

Hi, @SenatorCollins , you do understand that since voting to acquit Trump of blatant corruption, you are directly responsible for this. Which is worse? The GOP Senators who say openly that they support corruption, or Senator Collins, who tries to pretend she has principles.

The video makes clear that the plan was to make it look like a bunch of schmucks sent by Trump got out of control and stormed the Capitol. In fact, the breach was engineered by the Proud Boys, operating as a paramilitary, using the crowd as stooges.
