NEW: With a month before @JoeBiden's inauguration, @realDonaldTrump is largely idle but increasingly out of touch with reality in a way that is causing even those loyalists to be alarmed over what could transpire during the month left in his presidency. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
"It's sad and pathetic," one Trump confidant said of the way his obsession with remaining in office has caused him to seek succor in utter crackpots and conspiracy theorists. “You’d be surprised who the ‘adults in the room’ are these days,” they added. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
“He’s not really interested in anything that happens anymore...he’s plotting and scheming to remain in a job that he’s more or less given up because he doesn’t want to go back to being a regular rich guy who'll still be one of the most famous men on Earth.”independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
Former @DHSGov assistant sec'y @NeuSummits said the fact that hardcore loyalists are back against @realDonaldTrump's latest schemes is troubling: "Even people like Giuliani are recognising that this is going beyond the play-acting they’ve been doing.” independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
Neumann also said the recent halt in cooperation with @Transition46 at the @DeptofDefense is most likely meant to make things harder for @JoeBiden's administration. A defense department official called the move "petty, asinine & on-brand" for Trump's team. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
While @realDonaldTrump might not have ordered a halt to cooperation, his niece @MaryLTrump said those close to him don't need orders to start sabotaging Biden.

“Donald never says explicitly what illegal thing he’s going to do. He just hints at it so there’s never a paper trail,” @MaryLTrump explained. “They know why they’re there; they don’t need to be told.” independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
.@MaryLTrump, a clinical psychologist by training, said @realDonaldTrump will be at his most dangerous during his last month because he is not psychologically equipped to deal with the trauma of losing & fears what will happen to him after he leaves office independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
“Donald is desperate to delegitimise the incoming administration because...he's been rejected. Now, he hates this country. He doesn’t care what happens... & is going to find himself in a very difficult position come 20 January at 12.01pm,” @MaryLTrump said.independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…

Rudy appears to be having technical difficulties. WABC’s live stream already dumped into weather and promos after a bunch of dead air.
They’re back. Rudy’s co-host (jokingly, I think?) blamed the Chinese Communist Party for the difficulties.
And they’ve now dumped back into commercials after Rudy tried tossing to his co-host and ended up with another 30 seconds of dead air.

Good morning. Even though I'm not nearly important enough to have been asked to predict journalism things for @NiemanLab, I'd like to offer some. I hope I am proved wrong about all of them.

(thread)
1. "Open press" events will remain dead post-vaccine: Because of the pandemic, both the Trump White House and Biden campaign/transition have limited access to in-person events, news conferences, and briefings to a small circle of deep-pocketed news outlets. While these limits...
...are supposed to be temporary, they have also magnified the advantages enjoyed by the participating outlets (and the reporters who work for them) & helped insulate both the White House and campaign/transition from questioning by those with differing backgrounds/ perspectives...

Ok, that I file under "an inability to play well w/ others" (admittedly a broad definition). But you've long had the star power to strike out on your own when desired, which is fine. Yet those of us who haven't had long, celebrated outlet-hopping careers don't have that option...
...and while I have no problem w/ your, or Matt's, or Glenn's choices, I am vexed by the irresponsible, irrationally exuberant & breathless way media & tech reporters are presenting substack as a magic solution to the hellish landscape that I and far too many others are stuck in.
Your issues with "the msm" aside, you, @sullydish, can walk in and out of it as you wish, while those of us w/o your (or Matt's, or Glenn's) connections / pedigree are left with our faces pressed against the glass because the best way to get a job is still to already have one...

NEW: As @JoeBiden introduces @PeteButtigieg as his Transportation Secretary-designate, activists grow increasingly vexed at the 46th President's largely conventional picks. But more senior progressives say they need to have more faith in Biden's sincerity. independent.co.uk/voices/biden-d…
One veteran activist warned that progressives are "getting too wrapped up into the personality of it all" instead of focusing on what policies the Biden administration will pursue. independent.co.uk/voices/biden-d…
The former @BernieSanders staffer complained that the angst over Biden's picks are never satisfied, "Like when...the progressives who said he needs people of color see a pick like Cedric Richmond and immediately say: ‘No, not that one!’" independent.co.uk/voices/biden-d…

Stephen Miller says Trump electors will be voting and sending results to Congress.

(They'll be worthless because they won't have the seals of the state Secretaries of State, though)
Miller is now repeating the false claims @realDonaldTrump made in a tweet last night about underage, non-citizen, and other illegal voters voting in swing states.
"We have open election challenges in all the contested states," Miller says.

(Courts have rejected all of their challenges. Every. Single One.)

NEW: The fact @realDonaldTrump thinks his conservative judicial appointees will save him shows he doesn’t have a clue who they are or what they believe about the law, say former White House counsel officials and legal experts. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-l…
“That’s the opposite of what conservative justices are — that’s activist as fuck… wading into the three branches of government,” said one former White House counsel’s office attorney. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-l…
The former official, a veteran GOP lawyer, said @realDonaldTrump “continues to believe...because he was the one who nominated them and put them on the various levels of the federal court system, that they'll be more inclined to hear his side of the case.” independent.co.uk/voices/trump-l…
