BREAKING: Decision Desk HQ—Serving BuzzFeed News, Vox, and Others—Joins Nonpartisan Cook Political Report in Calling Warnock-Loeffler Georgia Runoff for Warnock
(PS) The question now becomes whether @KLoeffler/@SenatorLoeffler should concede tonight rather than opposing Biden's certification at noon tomorrow. Interestingly, she may *want* to concede rather than go down in history as a traitor for no reason (as she's no longer a senator).
(PS2) Kelly Loeffler is now behind by 35,000 votes, and Warnock's margin will only grow—perhaps significantly. It is already at 0.8%, which is well beyond recount (0.5%) territory. She could save herself doing something no sane person should *want* to do tomorrow by conceding.
(PS3) My understanding is that because Loeffler's election is a special election, she stays in the Senate until her election is over (she's not governed by a usual term). So her concession or non-concession *does* determine whether she's in Congress voting for sedition tomorrow.

BREAKING: In new video, Trump lies repeatedly about his sedition. He says the Capitol attack outraged him—reports say he was "enthusiastic." He says he called out the Guard immediately—reports say he rebuffed requests "repeatedly."

This is a raft of lies.
1/ Trump *repeatedly* tweeted after the attack began—and never *once* said rioters should leave the Capitol. He now claims he acted quickly to see to it his insurrectionists were "expelled." This bald-faced lie is contradicted not just by media reports but his public statements.
2/ He calls the insurrectionists "demonstrators" and implies only *some* of the rioters "broke the law"—when in fact *all* did, as all the insurrectionists were knowingly trespassing on federal property under circumstances in which the fact of a trespass was unmistakable to them.

Don't forget that Trump advisor Peter Navarro falsely told Fox News that Trump could move Inauguration Day—and that many Trump advisors have long said January 20 is the real endpoint for Trump's fight. Trump can't move Inauguration Day—but the rhetoric from his advisors is scary.
Anyone who does not think Donald Trump can substantially further desecrate and endanger our country in the next two weeks somehow missed both what happened today and everything that led up to it for four years. Congress must immediately take up the matter of impeachment tomorrow.
The reports we had today that Trump is spreading anarchist rhetoric, was gleeful at today's insurrection, repeatedly blocked the National Guard being deployed, had Rudy Giuliani secretly working to delay Biden's certification, and much more should cause extraordinary worry in DC.

Senate now voting on Hawley's Electoral College objection. I think we may find one or two insurrectionists changed their vote post-coup. (Hard to tell, because it's hard to hear some of the votes.)
(PS) Blackburn, Daines, and Braun appear to have voted "no." They were going to vote "yes." I'm getting this from the closed captioning on MSNBC.
(PS2) Hagerty and Johnson also voted "no" after saying they would vote "yes." Again, I get this from the closed captioning. It appears Hyde-Smith of Mississippi voted "yes," as I predicted she would (she had not announced).

(UPDATE) NPR contradicts THE INDEPENDENT (UK) and AL JAZEERA and says a "red notice" has not been issued for Trump, just "requested." The latter two outlets report it as "issued." Stay tuned to the "Interpol" trending topic as this dispute between 3 reliable outlets is resolved.
(PS) What we know for certain—which all 3 credible media outlets agree on—is that Iran's first request for a "red notice" on Trump was rejected by Interpol. It's possible Interpol delivered a muddled response to this second request—misleadingly signaling a change in its position.
(PS2) A "red notice" is "a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person." What this means is that Iran can "issue" a red notice with the intent of it acting as an arrest warrant. But it's still a "request," meaning Interpol needn't "accept" it.

(LIVE THREAD) I'm going to live-tweet the Trump rally so you don't have to watch it. I hope you'll retweet this thread for anyone you think may be interested. The brief thread below contains play-by-play of the early parts of the Trump rally in Dalton, GA.
1/ Don Jr. is now frisbeeing cheap Chinese MAGA hats into the crowd as he prepares to speak.
2/ Don starts by implying Biden is senile and "doesn't know where he is." He then moves to Hunter Biden. He indicates Biden is so senile there's no way he could've won. Moves on to "Russia hoax," Hunter "taking money from the Chinese communist party." Just all the greatest hits.
