Yes it is almost February and Mitch has not yet turned the majority over to the Senate Dems.

It is a STAGGERING abuse of power.
Here's the latest on Mitch's gross abuse of power, his refusal to turn over the Senate Committees - and thus the Senate itself - to the Democrats.

Did a deep dive on how just extreme the GOP's response to Biden has been these last few weeks...simon-rosenberg.medium.com/republicans-gr…
Note this tweet - GOP Senator Risch is still head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (@SenateForeign).

So all the Rs are going along with this insane charade.

The always smart @ThePlumLineGS with the scoop - the Dems are looking at ways around McConnell's rancid partisanship, but aren't there yet.

Line between the GOP and extremists is completely gone.

Republicans as of this morning still controlling the Committees in the Senate. Absolute fucking lunacy.

Channeling @oneunderscore__ reminder that QAnon believes that Trump will ultimately bring "The Storm," a reckoning that includes mass executions of leading Democrats including those in Congress.

Mass executions.

Many in Capitol had QAnon markings.

businessinsider.com/qanon-trump-ca…
At least two Republicans in the House have expressed sympathy for QAnon, a belief system which requires the killing of their colleagues in the US House.

I don't know how they can be allowed to serve any more. nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/…
Watch this excellent @NBCNews piece on QAnon, and Trump's clear stoking of it.

GOPers have an off ramp on their road to radicalization.

It begins w/declaring the election legitimate, telling their supporters to stand down.

Those who refuse to do this are fueling the insurrection, and what might become an insurgency.

My latest: simon-rosenberg.medium.com/republicans-ha…
Agree w/@rgoodlaw - this is a bullshit statement from the President which will do nothing to stop the insurrection, the violence to come. It is in fact an implicit encouragement for his supporters to keep going.



No one has deserved Impeachment more.
And here we go:

For days now I've been calling bullshit on DOD/FBI/DHS/Capitol Police claims no one could see the attack on the Congress coming (1/x).

According to new @WashingtonPost reporting, we now know it was bullshit. Scary bullshit in fact, for it sure appears there was an effort to suppress vital intelligence which would have allowed the city to be prepared (2/x). washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
This thread does a good at explaining why it was never plausible the US govt didn't know violence or an attack on Congress could occur. It was always a ridiculous line, sort of like saying COVID is no worse than the flu (3/x).

1/Been writing a lot in recent weeks about need to fix botched vaccine rollout. Excited to see two ideas we discussed here - opening up the cohorts, shipping both doses together - are being adopted.

2/Here's the first of many calls for the two doses to be shipped together......
3/First of several writings about the need to open up the cohorts....

1. Can there be any doubt now that Trump has launched a major natl campaign to overturn the election results, which includes the sustained use of force/violence, to stay in power?

There just can't be any question abt this any longer, any attempt to find an innocent explanation..
2. Here's Fiona Hill in @Politico on why of course what we are witnessing has been an attempted coup.....politico.com/news/magazine/…
3. Lack of preparedness for Jan 6th, the clear lying coming from DOD/DOJ/Capitol Police, lack of any kind of public briefing by the govt since, resignation of DHS Sec all suggest the conspiracy to overturn the election went way beyond the White House....

Some morning thoughts on Jan 6th, the aftermath....

First, the idea that the govt didn't know the Trump rally could turn violent, attack Congress is simply bullshit, and raises worrisome questions about whether DOJ/DHS/DOD were told to stand down (1/x).

NDN has called on Congress to bring AG Rosen, DHS Sec Wolf in to testify under oath either in their current jobs, or as private citizens - ndn.org/blog/2021/01/d…

The House appears to be moving in that direction now (2/x).

The success of Trump and his extremists in taking over a heavily fortified govt building has created true domestic security crisis in US.

These groups will be emboldened; defeating them will be extraordinary new challenge for Biden-Harris team (3/x).
