THOUGHTS on the Postmaster General. THREAD. ATTN: @HouseDemocrats. I REALLY want to hear testimony from the former Postmaster General Megan Brennan. Those who listen to our podcasts will remember she retired in October of 2019. 1/
You'll also remember that starting in May of 2018, donald personally pushed her to DOUBLE the rates on Amazon, which as we know was run by Jeff Bezos who also owns the Washington Post. A clear and impeachable abuse of power, btw. 2/
Trump had told aides several times he wanted her gone in his quest to privatize the USPS. Officials insisted her retirement was a regular old retirement and wasn't about the pressure donald put on her to break contracts with Amazon. 3/
By then, donald had already appointed a majority of members of the postal board of governors, and they were likely poised to remove Brennan. Brennan said she would help donald find a replacement. 4/
I would like to know if she was pressured to retire by donald or the board of governors he appointed. I want to know if she helped find a replacement or if a deal was made? She worked at USPS for 33 years and started as a letter carrier. I trust her testimony on this matter. END
PS. I know the answers to these questions in all likelihood. I want the dems to ask her these questions. Please save your "You mean you don't know? Haven't you been paying attention?" kthanksbyyeeee

THREAD: My thoughts on the decision not to call witnesses. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This take is based on what I think I know, and there's much I don't know, but I do not understand why the dems didn't depose Rep. Beutler. Let's talk about the objections: 1/
First, many are saying it would drag this thing out and prevent Biden's agenda from moving forward. I don't see how that's possible. The senate had the votes to depose Rep. Beutler. We saw that with the 55-45 vote to allow witnesses. GOP can't filibuster that 2/
It would have taken probably a week to depose her and introduce her testimony into the senate record. The senate is scheduled to be in recess this week. The only thing a deposition of Beutler would have done is stopped the senate's vacation. 3/

BREAKING: MCCONNELL IS FOLDING AND ALLOWING DEMS TO TAKE OVER. What on EARTH did Schumer threaten him with???
Here is the source
From McConnell’s statement, Mitch seemed fine with moving ahead because Manchin and Sinema had publicly said they wouldn’t vote for the filibuster. That was enough for him

THREAD: @maddow is asking tonight why the My Pillow guy and other trump allies like acting defense Secretary Chris Miller are making an eleventh-hour push to install trump sycophants in the NSA and CIA. There has to be a reason, and I have a guess. 1/
First, we know that after trump met with Chris Miller last Friday, Miller made a push to force Michael Ellis (former Nunes counsel and the guy who hid the Zelensky call in the code-word classified system) in as NSA general counsel. 2/ cnn.com/2021/01/16/pol…
We also know the My Pillow guy told Trump to install Kash Patel (former Nunes aide) as acting CIA Director, but what Maddow didn’t mention was that Haspel nearly resigned last December when trump tried to install Patel as the deputy director back then. 3/ thehill.com/homenews/admin…

THREAD: Okay. I'm about to get SUPER space beans tin foil hat on you, so stop reading if you're not into that. Based on what we're learning from public reporting, the pentagon curtailed the response to the trump coup. 1/ washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
We also know from video and public reporting that there were two groups that stormed the capitol. 1) weird-ass bystanders and 2) possibly armed ex-military members with tactical gear and flex cuffs 2/
We also know there was a failed coup attempt in Venezuela orchestrated by Giuliani and former members of Blackwater, an Erik Prince joint. 3/ rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

Okay. I’m about to go WAY out on a limb into super space beans territory. Remember the failed coup in Venezuela orchestrated by Giuliani with former Erik Prince goons? What if “group 2” with the tactical gear and flex cuffs were former Blackwater? Yes, I sound crazy.
I need @SethAbramson to talk me off this ledge.
It explains the Giuliani involvement and the trump pardons of the Blackwater war criminals. Not to mention the medal of freedom to Nunes and how his aide ended up in a top pentagon position. Oh, and Erik Prince’s sister resigning. BUT IM CRAZY, YEAH?

THREAD: While Mitch McConnell and Steve Mnuchin whine about having to send us $600 in a half-assed effort to help those struggling with food and rent, this administration is about to garnish the wages of millions of Americans, including service members starting next month. 1/
As we all know, this year trump signed an executive order saying employers could have a "payroll tax holiday" (sounds SO LOVELY!!) What this did was allow businesses to stop deducting and paying into Social Security. 2/
Many employers didn't opt in, but trump FORCED military and government employees to stop paying into social security. Republicans beat their drums about this saying they were the BEST EVER and called it a PAY RAISE. 3/ forbes.com/sites/shaharzi…
