This is illegal, immoral, but also Trump seems incredibly unteathered to reality, even the reality that he and his cronies have constructed washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Here is some of the audio. My god. Also congrats to @BenSasse @HurdOnTheHill and the others who are now alarmed at the kind of illegal pressure he is applying to the GOP, but who looked the other way when he did the same to President of Ukraine washingtonpost.com/video/politics…
And once again I want to note that Mark Meadows is bolstering Trump’s worst acts and impulses
The Nixon tapes revealed him to be complicit in a coverup of the DNC break-in and related acts. This is far worse: Trump is demanding state officials illegally overturn a Presidential election and threatening them if they do not.
Also reminder re Cleta Mitchell:
Kudos to @AmyEGardner for this earthquake of a scoop

Since manifesting trust across all demographic groups is essential to a successful vaccination campaign, I hope Biden camp will figure out ways to have COVID-responsible Republicans like Romney be a visible part of the communications/logistics push.
Romney's idea of using birthdays plus tiers as the way to organize vaccinations is interesting, reminiscent of how gas was rationed in the Carter era, by odd/even license plate numbers.
The idea of calling up retired doctors/nurses, plus EMTs, former medics, vets—basically anyone who's ever used a syringe—would have the knock-on effect of restoring/manifesting community trust, both within and across demographic groups.

1/ Like most non-profits, a big chunk of @MotherJones revenues come from year-end donations, when people are thinking about what they can give (and deduct). Some are unable to give this year, which makes us more reliant on those who can. Maybe you? secure.motherjones.com/flex/mj/key/7L…
2/ Here, @MonikaBauerlein makes a great pitch about all the great work we do, and how important reader-supported journalism is. But I'd like to add another reason to give: Because Facebook is destroying democracy and targeting MoJo in particular:
3/ You know that Facebook is:
✅pushing disinformation
✅robbing media of revenue
✅promoting far-right "news" sites.
But did you know that they're ACTIVELY taking steps to suppress @MotherJones content IN PARTICULAR? motherjones.com/media/2020/10/…

Photog @amyosborneamy and @sjmichaels interviewed people in line at SF food banks. Please read this and give to food banks: motherjones.com/food/2020/12/i…
"I was laid off in August­—I’d been working at Golden Gate Park, for Rec and Parks. And it looks like I’m going to run out of unemployment soon. The city is saying they have a deficit of millions of dollars, so these jobs are not going to open again."
"I had a job of 12 years, doing basic office work for a big accounting firm downtown...Then I got the dreaded Zoom call....They give a good amount of food. It was heavy —and I was in the Marines.I wasn’t embarrassed. It’s easy not to be embarrassed when you have a mask on"
