☄️ Republicans will emerge from the Trump era gutted:

• They lost their congressional power
• McConnell and McCarthy are hamstrung by corporate blacklisting of election-denying members
• The GOP brand is radioactive for a huge chunk of America axios.com/post-trump-rep…
• The corporate bans on giving to the 147 members who voted against election certification are growing and virtually certain to hold
• The RNC is a shell of its former self and run by a Trump loyalist
axios.com/post-trump-rep…
• Democrats crushed them in fundraising when they were out of power. Imagine their edge with it.
• Sheldon Adelson, the party's biggest donor, died Monday
• The NRA is weaker than it has ever been, after massive leadership scandals. axios.com/post-trump-rep…
• The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, once controlled by rock-ribbed Republicans, also gave to Democrats in 2020.
• Rank-and-file Republicans are now scattered on encrypted channels like Signal and fearful of Big Tech platforms. axios.com/post-trump-rep…

OFF THE RAILS: Trump’s refusal to believe the election results was premeditated. He had heard about the “red mirage” — the likelihood that early vote counts would tip more Republican than the final tallies — and he decided to exploit it.
axios.com/trump-election…
For weeks, Trump had been laying the groundwork to declare victory on election night — even if he lost. But real-time results, punctuated by Fox’s call to become the first outlet to call Arizona for Joe Biden, upended his plans and began his unraveling. axios.com/trump-election… Image
Over the next two months, Trump took the nation down with him as he descended into denial, despair and a reckless revenge streak that fueled a deadly siege on the U.S. Capitol by his backers seeking to overturn the election. axios.com/trump-election…

@danprimack @DionRabouin @chefjoseandres @RepRoKhanna .@chefjoseandres: We have hungry people in America in a moment that the restaurant industry is shut down. We need to partner with restaurants and pay for meals so that they can hire back and pay rent. Image
@danprimack @DionRabouin @chefjoseandres @RepRoKhanna .@chefjoseandres: Obviously restaurants will open again. The issue is how many are we going to lose from today until 3 months, 6 months, 1 year until everything goes back to normal. We need to make sure the federal government is behind these businesses.

A Trump administration official tells Axios that the cyberattack on the U.S. government and corporate America, apparently by Russia, is looking worse by the day — and secrets may still be being stolen in ways not yet discovered.
axios.com/solarflares-ru…
If this had been a physical attack on America's secrets, we could be at war.

Imagine if during the Cold War, the Soviet Union had broken into a building in Washington and walked out with correspondence, budgets and more. axios.com/solarflares-ru…
The gravity wasn't immediately apparent because this wasn't the "cyber Pearl Harbor" that experts have warned about: No one took out a power grid, or stole a bunch of money or destabilized the markets.
