NEW: As former President Trump starts his "revenge tour" of rallies against challengers to House members who voted to impeach him, some Republicans are worried that he'll do to the House what he did to Georgia Senate candidates. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-r…
“We’re playing with lawn darts,” said one GOP consultant works with House candidates. “He [Trump] is fun for the base, but it’s only a matter of time until the fun kills people, our chances of winning a totally winnable election, or both.”independent.co.uk/voices/trump-r…
Former Republican National Committee Chair @MichaelSteele said he frequently hears from GOP House members who do not want the former president bringing his “Save America” tour to their states — or anywhere. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-r…
“The House members I’ve talked to are like: ‘God, please keep him away from my district. I don’t want reporters putting microphones in front of my face, asking me about Donald Trump in the summer or fall of 2022,’” @MichaelSteele said. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-r…

...We will use all existing provisions in the voting rights act, The National voter registration act, to help America vote act and the uniform and overseas citizens absentee voting act to ensure that we protect every qualified American seeking to participate in our democracy.
We are scrutinizing new laws that seek to curve access and where we see violations we will not hesitate to act. We are also scrutinizing current laws and practices in order to determine whether they discredit against black voters and other voters of color, particularly...

NEW: Extremism experts & veterans say the @DeptofDefense & @USArmy's decision not to recall Lieutenant General (ret) Michael Flynn for a court-martial over his call for a Myanmar-style military coup amounts to ignoring a dangerous national security threat. independent.co.uk/voices/flynn-q…
“He’s not a political opponent — he’s a retired military officer who is now the public face of a conspiracy movement that the FBI has labeled a dangerous terrorist threat,” @TheSoufanCenter's @ColinPClarke said of LTG Flynn.
.@ColinPClarke said the 6 January insurrection at the Capitol changed the calculus on whether to punish calls for a coup from retired military officers. independent.co.uk/voices/flynn-q…

Ok, so this week is turning out to be really, really awful.

Anyone have any dog pics?
Thanks for all the 🐶📸, folks

I’m not sure how much of a difference they’re making today, but I appreciate the effort

PSA to aspiring journos: Unless you have the family or school/internship connections to start you on a unbroken string of full time jobs, do something else.
I'm 100 percent serious. I often get approached by aspiring journalists (usually on @LinkedIn aka the most useless platform for job hunting ever created) who ask me for advice.

It is all so very depressing because I have no good advice to offer. This is an industry in which...

NEW: As Israeli forces and Hamas continue to exchange fire and @IsraeliPM ignores calls for a cease-fire, experts say his bear-hug with Donald Trump and other authoritarians has left him with little credibility or goodwill among American voters. independent.co.uk/voices/israel-…
“His actions… [have] made more people look with great concern at what we’re seeing there,” said Wisconsin's @repmarkpocan, who has introduced a resolution to block a pending arms sale to Tel Aviv. independent.co.uk/voices/israel-…
“Some of us have concerns because we supported something to stop the killing [i.e. Iron Dome] and then it’s not used in the way I think we intended,” @repmarkpocan explained, referring to Israel's retaliatory strikes. independent.co.uk/voices/israel-…

Based on Tucker Carlson's monologue tonight, I would not be surprised if Anne Neuberger has to have a @SecretService detail before the week is out.
Now he's complaining because the Consumer Price Index doesn't include lumber.
Now he has a crackpot guest on so he can riff about how everything that he is complaining about is intentional.
