THREAD ON HOLDING TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS LIES IN OHIO

I’m live from Cleveland, and here’s the plan, @OHDems and friends who want to help turn Ohio blue

There’s no way @JoeBiden can fact check every one of Trump’s lies tonight. That would be all he does.

But...

1/

...WE can all hold Trump accountable for his lies tonight. We can make each lie painful for him. And that’s our plan tonight:

It’s become clear....Ohio can end the Trump presidency, and end his plot to undo the outcome before it even starts.

2/

A blue Ohio saves our nation.

So our plan tonight? Every time Trump tells a lie right here in Ohio, let’s hold him accountable right here in Ohio

Every time he lies, make him pay.

Make him feel it

By giving to our effort to turn Ohio blue

We have created a special page for this. And every time Trump lies (if we can keep up) we will call it out and link to our page.

And each time, we hope you will consider holding him accountable for each lie by giving $10 (or more) through the page.

4/

We will keep everyone posted on how much we are holding him accountable.

Bottom line: the more he lies IN Ohio, and about Ohio, the more we want to hold him accountable right here in Ohio.

And we will, by winning here, w your help.

5/

Let’s not force Joe Biden to fact check every lie.

Let’s hold Trump accountable ourselves.

It’s On!

Who’s ready?

🚨

Not long ago, I described how one of the most respected conservative judges in the nation during my law school days was J. Michael Luttig. Judge Luttig, of the Fourth Circuit, was often on the short list to be a Supreme Court Justice,

1/

and considered a top “feeder” judge to prized Supreme Court clerkships, especially for members of the Federalist Society.

So in recent years, as Judge Luttig has raised alarms about Trump’s excesses, and the fraying of our national rule of law, we should all pay attention.

2/

But he wasn’t the only Fourth Circuit star at the time.

There is another: Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson of the Fourth Circuit—a Reagan appointee—has also been among the most highly regarded conservative jurists in the nation for a generation.

🚨

If you’re continuously stunned by the behavior of gerrymandered GOP representatives in the world of Citizens United, don’t be.

Here’s how to think of them:

They are no longer public servants.

Improving public outcomes is not their goal. Nor do they do better in life…

1/

…by serving the public interest.

In fact, if they serve the public interest, they will likely be primaried. And lose.

Think of them as the servants of certain private interests. See that they are in public office to use public power to benefit those private interests.

2/

That’s why public outcomes consistently fall in the places they control (such as gerrymandered red states like Ohio), while certain interests seem to always gain.

When those public outcomes fall, it doesn’t impact them at all.

Because they’re in districts they can’t lose.

United Defiance or Divided Compliance?

A 🧵

Two sets of institutions— each central parts of the infrastructure of a functioning democracy—find themselves facing a similar dilemma.

Higher ed institutions, and law firms.

1/

In case people question the centrality of these institutions’ roles in our democracy, know that Trump and Vance fully understand:

That’s why Vance has declared universities and professors the enemy to what he and his allies seek to achieve.

2/

And it’s why Trump has declared war on some law firms—because he knows that, in our system of justice, robust representation of both sides (including the side holding the government or political figures accountable) is essential. Without that balance, the system collapses.

A Big Day for Democracy

A 🧵

It’s not just that Susan Crawford won.

It’s how she won—decisively.

And it’s who she beat—Musk, Trump and millions spent against her. Musk clearly was using his money to buy votes and buy Wisconsin justice and power.

1/

And Wisconsin said no!

2/

And it’s not just that Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours—although that’s an impressive amount of time.

It’s how he did it—with gusto, and passion, and love, and authenticity. (The same traits I've seen from Cory since we first met at law school!)

Quick take on Signal Gate

A 🧵

Beyond the egregious security breach involved, the Signal scandal also puts on full display:

1) the appalling dishonesty of these people (lying with gusto even after incriminating evidence is out in the open);

1/

2) their sheer incompetence/arrogance (they essentially invited Goldberg to release the messages with all their trash talk and bald-faced lies);

3) the inability of most GOP legislators to call out anything—

2/

including something this egregious;

4) and the fact that Trump does not appear to be in charge of his own administration, or briefed on their actions, even when it involves the military

Last night’s big PA Surprise

Short 🧵

I chatted with a PA Dem strategist who wears the opposite of rose-colored glasses about last night’s surprise upset in PA.

He was not involved in the race.

A few quotes:

1/

“[F]rom a ‘sign of the political winds,’ the victory last night was significant for several reasons: first, turnout was quite high for a random March date.

Second, this turf has been Republican since the Civil War…”

2/

“….it does NOT include the city of Lancaster (which is quite blue)—that’s different than some of these “Obama-Trump” regions that may be inclined to switch back — there’s no legacy of Democratic victories in this part of Lancaster County.”
