Per @jonkarl "Betrayal":
We have kewpie doll Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis writing yet *another* memo directing Pence
Meadows sent it to Pence's aide:
It gave states til 7pm 1/15/20 to send back new votes & if they missed that deadline their votes wouldn't be counted
Read. This.
⤵️
2/"Ellis, in the memo, outlined a multi-step strategy: On Jan. 6, the day Congress was to certify the 2020 election results, Pence was to send back the electoral votes from six battleground states that Trump falsely claimed he had won.
3/"The memo said that Pence would give the states a deadline of "7pm eastern standard time on January 15th" to send back a new set of votes, according to Karl.
4/"Then, Ellis wrote, if any state legislature missed that deadline, "no electoral votes can be opened and counted from that state."
5/"Such a scenario would leave neither Biden nor Trump with a majority of votes, Ellis wrote, which would mean "Congress shall vote by state delegation" --
6/"which, Ellis said, would in turn lead to Trump being declared the winner due to Republicans controlling the majority of state delegations with 26.
7/"The day after Meadows sent Ellis' memo to Pence's aide, on Jan. 1, Trump aide John McEntee sent another memo to Pence's chief of staff, Marc Short, titled, "Jefferson used his position as VP to win.
8/"Although McEntee's memo was historically incorrect, Karl says, his message was clear: Jefferson took advantage of his position, and Pence must do the same"

Chris Christie has written a book
Maggie Haberman got a copy
She reports he writes that when he had Covid he was given last rights at the hospital
He then got a call from a hospitalized Trump, who asked:
“Are you gonna say you got it from me?”
nytimes.com/2021/11/13/us/…
This book is Christie doing the traditional 'write a book before you run for the Oval' dance
It's a *lot* of too little, too late
And I will work hard to prevent him winning the presidency
But it's got *some* interesting info in it
Per NYT:
Thread⤵️
2/"the Youngkin victory knocks down “this idea that if you don’t agree with Donald Trump on everything, and pledge unfettered fealty to him, then you can’t win because his voters quote unquote won’t come out to vote,” Mr. Christie said. “No candidate owns voters. They don’t.”

Lateish last night:
Ron Wyden said drug pricing remains under discussion:
"We're trying to make sure that these prescription drugs aren't a financial ball and chain that seniors and others are carrying around. So here's what are the kind of key pieces in terms of where we are
⤵️
"[Let] Medicare negotiate. We're talking an authority in part B and Part D. Every insulin product in Part D would be available at a low cost and insulin prices would be negotiated by the government. Inflation caps.
⤵️
"This is what came out of the Finance Committee, as you know, that limit drug manufacturers from engaging in price gouging and we're talking about both Medicare and the commercial market. An out of pocket cap to spare a seniors from high drug costs
