Mitch McConnell knows better than anyone that if you want white moderate voters to passively support institutionalized racism, you don’t say blatantly racist things while implementing it. Mitch made a huge mistake yesterday, and we’ll use it against GOP in midterms. #MitchPlease
When the bad guys screw up and hand us a gift like this, it comes down to whether we’re savvy enough to use it. McConnell is not on the ballot in 2022. But several Republican senators in moderate states are. We should ask them every day if they agree with McConnell racist remark.
Spread this clip far and wide of Mitch McConnell making a blatantly racist remark yesterday:

The 1/6 committee only knew to target Ivanka Trump as a material witness because it first took the time to painstakingly interview hundreds of lower and mid level cooperators, including the Pence staffer who informed them of Ivanka’s interactions with Donald Trump that day.
If the committee had been more “aggressive” by going after the people at the top first, it would have failed. The committee wouldn’t have known what it was seeking or what leverage to use against higher level witnesses. Methodically building a case works. “Aggression” does not.
So the pundits who spent all that time yelling around about how the committee wasn’t being “aggressive” enough and lacked a “sense of urgency” were just yelling hyperbolic gibberish for retweets. Either they don’t know how these kinds of probes succeed, or they don’t want you to.

Trump accomplished almost none of his stated political agenda. But the media spent four years pushing the fictional ratings driven narrative that Trump was accomplishing every bad thing he wanted via magic wand – and now that lie is causing problems for President Biden.
Even when Trump had a 52 seat senate majority, he passed a total of one meaningful bill, the tax cut for the wealthy. He spent forever on health care, then three senators from his own party killed it. Beyond that, nothing.
Trump tried doing most things by executive order, but because that power is limited, most of it was shut down by the courts. Trump took the “aggressive” approach that critics want Biden to take, but Trump got nothing from it, because “aggression” is not a real strategy.

After weeks of buzz, Fulton County DA Fani Willis is now formally empaneling a special grand jury to speed up her criminal case against Donald Trump for election fraud, per the AP. It’s the strongest signal yet that she plans to criminally indict Trump and put his ass in prison.
This means her case against Trump essentially gets to skip the line and doesn’t have to compete for grand jury time with the other criminal cases in the district. The DA will now be able to get subpoenas and such nearly instantly so she can move forward faster.
Much will be made of the fact that a special grand jury can’t indict people. But once the DA has used the special grand jury to complete her case, she’ll present it to a regular grand jury and have it bring indictments.

The bad news for Ivanka Trump this week just keeps getting worse for her. The January 6th Committee has formally asked her to cooperate. If she refuses, she’ll be subpoenaed, then referred for criminal contempt and she’ll face prison time. This is on top of the New York AG news.
Earlier this week the New York AG revealed in a civil probe court filing that she has “significant evidence” Ivanka falsified asset values for insurance, loan and tax purposes. The AG also has a criminal probe into the Trumps, so it seems nearly a given Ivanka will be indicted.
Even if Ivanka decides to cooperate with the 1/6 committee to save herself, she’ll have to do it in a way that doesn’t further incriminate her in the NY AG probe. Of course if she wants to ensure she doesn’t go to prison, she’ll have to cut a deal with New York against her dad.

One more time for the pundits who still don't get it: the current senate vote over voting rights legislation is DESIGNED TO FAIL, so as to put the media and public spotlight on Manchin and Sinema, and squeeze them into a pulp so they'll feel pressured to cave on this later.
None of this is remotely difficult to understand. In fact, most pundits are professing that they "don't get it" in such emphatic and histrionic fashion, it's fair to suspect that they DO get it, and they've decided they can get more attention & retweets by pretending they don't.
The people who *honestly* think voting rights legislation is dead, are frankly morons, EXTREME morons, people who have literally zero understanding of how anything in politics works or ever gets done. Not to be rude, but if you're that clueless, shut up and get out of the way.

When discussing the New York AG's civil probe against the Trump Organization, the media rarely acknowledges that the NY AG also has a Trump criminal case with the Manhattan DA. All Trump criminal activity unearthed in the civil probe will (obviously) result in criminal charges.
Most of the media has tried to stay as far away as possible from the reality that Trump has been on track for prison since the minute he lost the election. NY criminal case has been minimized. Coverage of NY civil case usually omits related criminal case, etc.
This makes sense from a ratings standpoint. How can the media milk the current false narrative about Trump making a 2024 comeback, while also admitting that he's on track to be in prison long before then? So it just pretends he's not on track for prison.
