This new interview by Powell is interesting. It suggests that the purpose of the insurrection was to DELAY the electoral college certification to give Alito time to intervene on this legal challenge. But, Powell says they didn’t anticipate Pelosi reconvening Congress that day.
Interviewer take on Powell: “That insurrection might have played to her advantage by delaying the final resolution of the election. But Nancy Pelosi one-upped her by reconvening Congress and finishing the tally in the middle of the night. The next day, Alito dismissed the case.”

Journalism school, & maybe previous decades in the business, have taught them to give the benefit of the doubt on intent. But these Weimar journalists still don’t get that what they are dealing with is taught in history classes, not journalism school.
🧵 THE BORDER 🧵
Pretty obvious the GOP is going to run back the border as their main issue for 2024, while triple-downing on it from the midterms. I say triple down because issues like gas prices, inflation, covid restrictions & vax mandates, CRT, that they also used in the …
midterm will either be non-issues by Nov 24 or far less important than Nov 22. So all of America’s issues - crime, drug overdoses, aid to Ukraine, you name it - will all be blamed on the border. So what does the Admin do? They can choose to ignore it like 2022. Appoint a …
‘Border Czar’ who doesn’t want the job and blow it off. They can just say everything is great and Rs are exaggerating. Or, and I know this sounds crazy, articulate a clear policy, the reasons for that policy, and detail how that policy is being enforced. And then message …
Remember when I predicted that the MAGA talking point today was going to be that Biden should’ve went to OH instead of Ukraine? That was before any of these.
