Does anyone know if the Senate has actually changed the filibuster rule for the debt ceiling. @ReverendWarnock on the floor is making the case to force change for voting rights. I wonder if he will vote no.
"What would Dr. King do?" I think I know. He'd shut it all down. That's why they killed him.
Just like @Sen_JoeManchin has to satisfy his White base, Warnock has to satisfy and motivate his Black base. If he doesn't vote for it then a @SenateGOP member will have to vote for it.
So he says he'll vote to raise the debt ceiling because the people of Georgia need it. I think he's possibly putting down marker that after today, voting rights have to be taken up.

1. Here is @SenSchumer on the floor today addressing the GQP blocking of @JoeBiden's nominees that he says will require he keeps the Senate working. Not clear if he's saying he won't move to recess for Christmas.
Watching Senate Session @cspan c-span.org/video/?516796-…
2. Also says he believes we will pass voting rights before 2022 midterms.
3. I think @marcorubio just withdrew his block on three Ambassadors who will be voted on later today. Includes China nominee Nicholas Burns.

1. This is why I wanted to find the data on the judges. Contreras is the presiding FISC judge. I would think he'd sit-out the active cases. Now that he's engaged in Jan 6 cases, this might indicate that that phase of the DOJ investigation is finished.
2. I surmise that the first Title I FISA order re TFG and would issue in February. So three of a maximum of four finished by end of November. With the attack still ongoing they may not have the luxury of seeking a fourth and have transitioned from FISA Title I to
3. regular investigative tools under Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control Act. So those wire taps and search warrant applications might refer to the FISA orders but that part of the applications remain redacted and is seldom if ever disclosed in the criminal proceedings.

1. Several reports the Russians are moving Buk SAM systems to the border. By telling Putin we'll do nothing, we invite an attack. @JoeBiden's @WHNSC run by @JakeSullivan46 is going to start a world war by the way it's trying to prevent one. @PressSec @WHCOS
2. And I hope that @WhiteHouse is being kept apprised of @TheJusticeDept investigation of a Russian asset's attempted coup. If Putin thinks he's to be exposed in an act of war, he may take his chances on an attack on @NATO. The force he's building can be interpreted as preparing
3. a general attack on NATO. Not moving at least 1 armored division to Europe may be a dangerous miscalculation. And politically, it makes @POTUS Biden look weaker everyday, almost assuring he gets hammered in the midterms. @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenJackReed @RepAdamSmith

1. I have @nytimes and @washingtonpost subscriptions so no monthly limit for me and get ten that I can post free monthly so everyone can read them. I think we can organize this so everyone has access to free important news based on the cooperation of folks with subscriptions.
2. Open to any thoughts. I'm a newspaper brat so access to the print media is important to me. How about a symbol in our timelines that says we have subscriptions and will post free if requested? Gets followers and helps people who don't have subscriptions follow those who
3. do have them. As much as I am disheartened by the NY Times move to the right and its willingness to push Russian propaganda, I also believe that, in time, it may return to consistent honest journalism. WAPO has also become weird but some of the reporters deserve our support.

1. For folks who never contemplated how TFG would effect a successful coup (I started pondering it Nov 8, 2016) "martial" in the term "martial law" means "military." We had it in Hawaii for 3 years. As a lawyer here, you get exposed to how it worked. He needed a military force.
2. Like it or not, the people who blocked the deployment of an armed @DCNationalGuard saved our Republic from a successful coup. I get that it does not fit in the narrative we have adopted but I believe it is in fact the truth. I expect that the evidence that is being concealed
3. involves the discussions about the DC Guard deployment. I saw it coming well in advance. Simply search the Twitter timeline for "martial law" from Nov. 3 to Jan 5. That was the plan and had the armed DC Guard deployed that would have been the end of the Republic.

1. Remember Carter Page? He was found in four #FISA applications to be an "Agent of a Foreign Power." Irregularities in the applications gave John Durham something to justify his existence as a special prosecutor, but that key finding has not, to my knowledge, been challenged.
2. Four FISA orders of 90 days each are permitted under FISA 50 U.S. Code § 1805(d)(2). One year. After that, the statute says it shuts down as to a US person. FISA applies to surveillance of "agents of a foreign power" and applies separate rules for persons other than US persons
3. and, like Carter Page, US persons. For a US person like Carter Page, the statute defines them as an agent of a foreign power as follows:

(2)any person who—

(A)knowingly engages in clandestine intelligence gathering activities for or on behalf of a foreign power,
