Scoop: On Tuesday, Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) got in a heated back and forth on a text chain with all freshmen GOP members, according to sources who've read the text messages axios.com/captiol-riots-…
The conversation started when Greene — a fierce defender of President Trump and former QAnon backer — sent an article to the chain claiming the president’s approval numbers had increased in December
Mace, who came out early against Republicans who planned to reject the election results, fired back: “I’m disgusted by what you and other Q-conspiracy theorists did last week in the chamber after all of the violence.”
Greene said she condemned it and told Mace “don’t believe the fake news." She also brought up how some Black Lives Matter protests turned violent.
Mace answered: “Literal QAnon lady trying to deny she’s a QAnon lady.”

Scoop: @marcorubio urged Joe Biden on Tuesday night to immediately call on Congress to pass $2,000 stimulus checks as a sign of congressional unity, according to a letter obtained by @axios

Exclusive: Pro-Trump super PAC America First Action has been tracking favorable/unfavorable ratings in FL, GA, MI, NC, OH & PA for Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg & Bloomberg—under the theory that if Trump wins each of these 6 states he wins re-election axios.com/pro-trump-pac-…
The spending isn't expected to begin until it's clear who the Democratic nominee will be, whether that's after next week's Super Tuesday or in July
The super PAC has pulled together about 500 pages of research on four of the five candidates, with about 300 pages on Buttigieg
I reviewed overall and state-by-state data the group provided on each of the candidates
Biden still enjoyed the most favorable numbers of those Democrats in each of the six states, but slid underwater between Aug 2019 & Jan 2020, from 46%-48%- favorable/unfavorable to 44%-50%
