🍑Big week ahead

Monday Jan. 13: House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler is preparing a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment of Donald John Trump to the Senate. Not clear when he will bring it to the floor.

1/
Tuesday day: Speaker Nancy Pelosi meets with the Democratic caucus to discuss “how to proceed further.”

Tuesday night: Six democratic candidates on the stage in Iowa for the first debate of 2020. Begins at 9 pm e.s.t. on @cnn

2/
@CNN Wednesday: Perhaps House floor vote on resolution.

Thursday: Perhaps transmittal of articles of impeachment to the Senate.

3/
@CNN Friday: If articles transmitted Thursday, then Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may start trial today at 1 p.m., even though House is in recess doing home district work until the 26th. Senate could be in session for six days (other than Sunday the 19th) for the trial.

💚 let’s talk about sex

1/
Everybody interested in the 2020 election has discussed the challenges for a woman to be elected president.

2/
Even though in2016, woman won the popular vote by around 3 million votes and only lost the electoral college by around 77,000 votes in three states, it’s rational to raise gender and sexism as a factor and to come up with strategies on how to deal with it

Defending the use of disinformation, personal attacks, and gaslighting because your team is fighting for the right things is Trumpian.

1/
Arguing that it’s OK because there’s a difference between fighting for universal healthcare and building a racist wall that shuts people out is not a reasonable justification for these tactics. Nor will it make them effective

2/
Use of lying, personal attacks, and gaslighting toward your cause or candidate makes us not trust that you actually know what you’re doing, and will be truthful when something inevitably fails even if some things succeed. Bullying is not a movement.

🧵Why is Warren the Unity Candidate?

(1) Together, the progressive wing (Warren and Sanders) are the majority of Dem voters first choice.
(2) When Democratic voters were asked "Are there any presidential candidates that you would be disappointed if they became the Democratic nominee?" Warren won. They would be the LEAST disappointed with a Warren presidency
(3) For all of the reasons spelled out here by @MariaLangholz and responders, she is the most electable candidate

(Thread) Buckle up: The Senate Trial is Coming

Pelosi is prepared to introduce a resolution next week to appoint managers and transmit Articles of Impeachment to the Senate.

If you want to know her strategy and goal these past few weeks, Schumer laid it all out.
1/ "I understand why McConnell is so frustrated,” Schumer said.


"If the Speaker had sent the Article of Impeachment over to the Senate immediately. . . Senate Republicans could have moved to dismiss the articles. There was a lot of talk about that. . ."
2/ “There wouldn’t have even been a cursory trial," Schumer said. "They might even have tried to dismiss the whole articles before Christmas.”

Instead, over the past few weeks, McConnell was prevented from doing that.

BREAKING: @SpeakerPelosi: “I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to be prepared to bring to the Floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate.”washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
@SpeakerPelosi Why send the articles at all given that McConnell –– who's putting together the rules for the trial and essentially the chief juror –– just signed on as a cosponsor of Sen. Hawley's resolution to dismiss the whole impeachment trial altogether.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler: "The [Justice] Department has come nowhere close to satisfying its obligations under [our] subpoena. The Department has never cited a legal basis for withholding the underlying evidence."
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler on executive privilege: "This decision represents a clear escalation in the Trump administration's blanket defiance of Congress' constitutionally mandated duties."
Rep. Jerry Nadler: "If Congress is not entitled to the full unredacted Mueller report one must wonder what document we would be entitled to."
