The House Judiciary Committee is now formally asking Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump. Shit's getting real tonight.
To those suggesting that I'm somehow making this up just because they haven't yet heard it on their television, you could have found the letter in ten seconds with a google or twitter search. And stop being the kind of lazy thinkers who think something is only true if it's on TV.
Feels like something is in play tonight palmerreport.com/analysis/feels…

- It's still only 7:50pm

No, Perdue isn't suddenly "winning" just because he's ahead in total votes counted. It just means some more red district votes got reported. If some more blue district votes get reported, Ossoff will go back "ahead"

At this stage, total votes counted is NOT how you gauge things.
There is nothing more misleading on election night than looking at total votes counted. It does not factor in whether the votes counted thus far are mainly coming from red or blue counties. It's the one number you should definitely ignore at this stage.
If you want to gauge the race, look at the which counties have the most votes yet to be reported. Then look at how red or blue those counties are, and calculate which candidate will pick up the most votes from the remaining uncounted pile.

Tomorrow is a great opportunity for us to convince the people in the middle that our side is the best one.

We can't do it with defeatist lamenting about "authoritarianism" or a "coup."

We say "hey, look at these fucking idiot republicans, do you ever want them in charge again?"
Voters in the middle don't give a shit about what "authoritarianism" is. They'll never believe that either side is trying to be a "dictator" or stage a "coup." You're just talking to yourself if you're using these kinds of words. They have zero impact on anyone or anything.
What voters in the middle hate is incompetence. Idiocy. Embarrassments. Sore losers. They especially hate whiners.

If you want to get through to them, then paint Trump and the republicans as idiots, losers, and whiners tomorrow.

Don't be the whiners.

When the tape of Trump's phone call surfaced, pundits quickly decided that Trump strategically recorded and leaked it himself. This made no possible sense. But it fit the pundits' ongoing narrative that Trump is some secret evil genius strategist that we're too dumb to understand
It's since turned out that – of course – Raffensperger's side recorded it. In other words, Trump really did idiotically make that call and unwittingly incriminate himself. Trump is the world's dumbest villain. So why do the pundits keep insisting he's a secret evil genius?
The only possible explanation is that the pundits and the media are so invested in milking the "Trump is a secret evil genius strategist" narrative for ratings, they're still unwilling to even consider the mountain of evidence that says he's highly inept as a villain.

House Republicans now have a lunatic Lauren Boebert who wants to carry a gun, and a lunatic Marjorie Taylor Greene who promotes Q anon. Let's make these two rock stars and household names. The new face of the GOP. Then we make the 2022 midterms a referendum on these two assholes.
We can cost a LOT of House Republicans their seats in 2022, simply by forcing them to either endorse or disown the deranged antics of Boebert and Greene. House Republicans will all lose some votes in their districts, no matter which side they choose.
This is essentially what the Republicans did to us in 2020. They made up fake caricatures of AOC and the Squad, then used it to attack every House Democrat facing reelection.

We can do the same to the GOP in 2022, except we don't have to make up fake versions Boebert and Greene.

My final take on tomorrow's Georgia runoffs: we have 50-50 odds of winning.

I was originally at 50-50 odds. Those odds began to drop when we allowed Trump's endgame antics to distract us from the runoffs. But now Trump has the Georgia GOP in disarray, so I'm back to 50-50 odds.
I do expect a close result. So it's possible we won't know the winner by the end of the night. If so, it'll be important to keep fighting for every vote to be counted. You know the drill

As always, panicking, fretting, and hand wringing are the opposite of being helpful.
One thing to watch our for: despite their recent anti-Trump stances, Kemp and Raffensperger are corrupt pieces of shit who are trying to rig the Senate races for the GOP. In the coming days you'll be reminded of this. Kemp and Raffensperger are not your friends.
