NEW: Voting rights legislation is a priority for @HouseDemocrats, @SenateDems, and the Biden @WhiteHouse, but Republicans have already started trying to roll back the voting methods Democrats to take control of Washington last year. independent.co.uk/voices/mitch-m…
Ex-@GOP Chair @MichaelSteele says efforts to restrict the ballot are par for the course for the party he once led: "“It is consistent with what we've seen from some members of my party in various states over the last 10 years or so, if not more." independent.co.uk/voices/mitch-m…
“This is an extension of the fear that Republicans have that they can't win without tipping the scales in their favor, whether it’s draconian measures on voter ID...the locations of polling places, or absentee balloting," @MichaelSteele said. independent.co.uk/voices/mitch-m…
A @WhiteHouse official says @POTUS @JoeBiden "looks forward to working with Congress to enact meaningful voting rights and democracy reform legislation.” independent.co.uk/voices/mitch-m…
Former GOP Rep. @WalshFreedom said the GOP opposes voting rights legislation because many Republicans believe Democrats only win elections by cheating: “It's an article of faith, and I have found that it's impossible to move most of these people off of it."independent.co.uk/voices/mitch-m…

Luke does a good job of making a case for why substack is good for many writers and subscribers here, but I would just like to point out that starting one's own newsletter product is not a viable option for the vast majority of folks writing about DC politics/policy because.. 1/
...of some major institutional roadblocks. Reporting from Capitol Hill, for instance, requires press credentials that are issued based on employment with a credentialed outlet. Getting a new publication approved is a multi-month process that is opaque, byzantine & not... 2/
...traditionally hospitable to freelancers running their own subscription-based product w/o some sort of financial backing.

Even if one wanted to do some sort of very niche agency coverage substack, press access at many depts/agencies require Hill creds as a prerequisite... 3/

NOW: @WhiteHouse Covid adviser @ASlavitt says "it will be months before everyone who wants a vaccine will be able to get one."

No stockpile exists, White House is maintaining supply on a 2-3 day rolling basis, sending as received from manufacturers.
.@ASlavitt says White House will give states more visibility into supply, but Congress needs to pass Biden's rescue package to ensure supply increases.
More supplies of low dead space syringes is key to increasing vaccinations, @ASlavitt says.

SPLIT SCREEN:

On @MSNBC, ⁦@chrislhayes⁩ talks to ⁦@RepJeffries⁩ about the threats made against his family, while at the exact same time Tulsi Gabbard keeps trying out for a Fox gig by calling Democrats who are concerned about violent extremists “domestic enemies.”
Gabbard says the country will no longer exist unless Democrats denounce @JohnBrennan, who is not currently a government official and has no authority over anyone whatsoever.
Gabbard is immediately followed by the MyPillow guy, who is complaining that retailers don't want to sell HisPillow anymore.

So @seanspicer is again complaining about the @WHCA taking too long to approve his application, as if he's a victim of some form of "cancel culture."

I have no idea what the WHCA will decide, but it very much looks like he's ineligible.

Here's why. (thread 1/)
You see, Newsmax isn't Sean's only gig.

Sean has two other ventures going. RigWil and Point 1.

RigWil, according to his website and this @PRWeekUS piece, is "a strategic consulting firm that provides insights to C-suite corporate and association executives."

One of his employees even said he's "advising clients who are "looking to have meetings on the Hill." 3/

.@POTUS: "For the past year, we couldn't rely on the federal government to act with urgency and focus and coordination we needed. And we have seen the tragic costs of that failure."
Biden: "While the vaccine provides so much hope the rollout has been a dismal failure thus far...I understand why many governors, mayors county officials tribal leaders, feel like they're left on their own without a clear national plan to get them through the crisis. "
.@POTUS: "Let me be very clear: Things are going to continue to get worse before they get better. The memorial we we held two nights ago will not be our last one, unfortunately. The death toll will likely top 500,000 next month, the cases will continue to mount."
