Brett Pransky: No one's looking to count any other races. Republicans aren't counting the races they won, only the ones they lost.
@BrettPransky
Brett Pransky: What kind of people are listening to the Repubs? The Mayan calendar folks predicting the end of the world, or Lucy moving the goalposts?
@BrettPransky
Scott Dworkin: A key point is that it's easier to do this during COVID. The installment part is just grift, to raise funds. There is no route for them whatsoever, no was to reinstall Trump.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Scott Dworkin: If you look at the people not getting vaccinated & being hospitalized for COVID, it's Trump supporters.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Scott Dworkin: Repubs have no chance of winning back the House. We're focusing on OH & PA, among other states. Keep in mind, all this money that's going to Trump now should be going to Repub candidates & it's not.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Rick: I wish I had your optimism, Scott. With all the voter suppression laws going on across the country, I think the GOP is doing enough to steal the election without a vote in place.
#RickShow
Rick: I'm concerned about 2022.

Sarah Burris: I'm concerned about 2022. We'll lose a seat in NY, gain a couple in TX. There's a candidate in the KS third district they're trying to get out of Congress by regerrymandering the district.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Sarah Burris: We have a lot of state legislatures we don't have power in, & that's where I get nervous, with redistricting.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Sarah Burris: Repubs are saying they didn't have good turnout in NM's special election & that's why they lost, but they did have good turnout. They just don't have good ideas.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Brett Pransky: GOP has a lot of power & is rigging the system. We're playing on a tilted field. If I were betting on it, I'd bet the Dems would come out on top in 2022.
@BrettPransky
Brett Pransky: A number of things that will determine 2022 haven't happened yet. We'll see significant movement in a lot of areas that will influence election season--we won't see all the perp walks we want but we'll see some.
@BrettPransky
Scott Dworkin: There's a lot coming down the pike, and that's why I'm so optimistic about the future. There will be a Trump indictment, whether it's in NY or elsewhere.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Scott Dworkin: I can tell you, people will want to know who the Osama bin Laden is in COVID & in the insurrection. People will be more outraged about that than this fake outrage from Republicans.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Scott Dworkin: I'm freaking out as well, but I've seen some things that are overwhelming & there's no way for them to defend themselves. We've been getting organized & vaccinated.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Scott Dworkin: A lot of us in DC were affected by 1/6 personally--there was a terrorist attack in our town. Now is the time we can push back & get in the resistance mode.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Sarah: The rule that was negotiated w/ Repubs is that the commission would be finished by end of year, which gives us only about 6 mos. That will take us into the election season, which was not a smart move by Repubs. Hopefully it'll work in our favor.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Brett Pransky: The GOP gave us a gift & we need to take advantage of it. They've taken out the bipartisan component of it.

Sarah Burris: Any time someone uses Facebook to start an insurrection, it's a good time to lose FB privileges. Trump can spend his couple of years in FB prison and think about what he did.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Rick: Trump's blog already went down.
Brett Pransky: I'd read it while eating Trump steak and drinking Trump vodka if those hadn't gone away, too.
@BrettPransky
Scott Dworkin: It needs to be more than Trump--it needs to be the demon spawn, the people who encouraged Trump, Fox News...

Scott Dworkin: The House is moving forward with investigations already, with at least two about 1/6. The Speaker offered again for another vote, & she's letting the Repubs walk into their own propeller.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Scott Dworkin: The deal they reached for the commission was embarrassing & pathetic, & I don't like it at all.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Scott Dworkin: The House investigations will move forward. Jan 6th investigation won't be over till at least next year--we haven't found the pipe bomber yet. Hundreds of people are going to prison, & that's no small deal.

David Borer: The Biden admin has been great so far. The way the Pres. weighed in on the Amazon campaign was terrific. And now, our TSA officers will have full bargaining rights.
@AFGENational @daborer
David Borer: When TSA was created after 9/11, Repubs didn't want TSA to be unionized. AFGE fought for that in Congress & has fought ever year since then. We were finally able to get an election in 2011; we were allowed limited collective bargaining rights
@AFGENational @daborer
David Borer: Pres. Biden has granted full bargaining rights now for TSA workers. This was a huge gain for federal workers.

Khalif Ali: Unless I misread the Constitution, which I doubt I have, Trump cannot be reinstated. If there's an installation of a dictator, that might be a different question. We'd all like to move on from this.
@commoncausepa @CommonCause
Khalif Ali: It's the responsibility of elected leadership not to feed into the big lie.
@commoncausepa @CommonCause
Khalif Ali: We already have a process in place in PA, called a risk limiting audit. We'll be focusing on the Nov. elections, if anything.

Bob Ney: F. Lee Bailey started with the very famous case of Sam Sheppard. He also did the Patty Hearst case & OJ Simpson. F. Lee Bailey passed away today.
@bobney
Bob Ney: I served in Congress with Mike Pence. He's sort of a subdued chill factor. He won't see eye-to-eye with Trump after Trump told followers to go to the Capitol & get Pence.
@bobney
Bob Ney: Everyone knew Pence couldn't change things.
Rick: Trump actually believed he's going to be reinstalled in August. Is there a reinstallation clause in our Constitution, or an "oops" button?
Bob: There are people out there who actually believe this will happen.

Sarah Burris: Another word for "reinstall" is coup d'etat. There is NO reinstall clause. There's no Lowe's is coming to put your fridge together. Nothing. The former guy wants to believe he can regain power & not be help responsible or forced to testify.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Sarah Burris: The coup is happening in August. Hmmmm. I'm gonna leave town in August.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Sarah Burris: I think one of the most important things Trump can do to remind people of how awful the last four years were is to remind people of how awful the last four years were.
