fmr Trump aide Max Miller is the candidate Trump has endorsed to replace retiring House member Anthony Gonzalez in OH-16
Miller's a Trump poster child
And he's a BAD guy:
politico.com/news/magazine/…
2/"Ranging from people who grew up with Miller in the affluent Cleveland inner suburb of Shaker Heights to those he worked with and for in the White House and on Trump’s campaigns—some of whom were granted anonymity because they fear retaliation from Miller,
3/"Trump or both—these people told me Miller can be a cocky bully with a quick-trigger temper. He has a record of speeding, underage drinking and disorderly conduct—

Good read

2/"The allegation stems from a conversation the officer had with a friend the week after the riot in which he allegedly revealed information about the secure location he helped evacuate lawmakers to during the riot.
3/"The friend, who is referred to as “ANONYMOUS” in the documents, called the FBI tip line to report the conversation and expressed concerns that the agent subscribed to Trump’s election conspiracy theories.

In late January someone connected to the Trump WH told me that Pence was "no hero"
Told me Pence seriously considered overruling the states on 1/6 until he realized he just couldn't get away with it
Per Costa & Woodward they were right ⤵️
cnn.com/2021/09/14/pol…
2/"'Peril' reveals that after four years of abject loyalty, he struggled with the decision. Woodward and Costa write that Pence reached out to Dan Quayle, who had been the vice president to George H.W. Bush, seeking his advice.
3/"Over and over, Pence asked if there was anything he could do.
"Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away," Quayle told him.
Pence pressed again.
"You don't know the position I'm in," he said, according to the authors.

Despite the GOP's complete lack of substance
their accusations, disrespect & calls for him to resign
Today's House Foreign Affairs Afghanistan hearing worked out well for SOS Blinken
Gave him a great opportunity to tout Biden's messaging re leaving
And he did a great job
⬇️
Blinken today:
“After 20 years, 2,641 American lives lost, 20,000 injuries, and two trillion dollars spent, it was time to end America’s longest war,”
⬇️
“There’s no evidence that staying longer would've made the Afghan security forces or the Afghan gov't any more resilient or self-sustaining. If 20 years & hundreds of billions of dollars in support, equipment and training did not suffice, why would another year, or five, or ten?”
