Fmr Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson
-who told Jan 6th Cmte Trump supported "Hang Mike Pence"
Is likely to testify in public hearings
& may be "the next John Dean"

What to expect from the hearings 👇
Gifted, no paywall

Read here: wapo.st/3xccIkG
Also: "Hutchinson is likely to testify live before the committee, complemented by video footage of previous interviews before investigators, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
👇
"Hutchinson has recalled for the committee various episodes in the chaotic scramble to sustain Trump’s election-fraud falsehood. A former mid-level aide, she kept detailed schedules of movements in the West Wing and had extensive conversations with Meadows .."

Remember Trump lawyer/election denier Cleta Mitchell who tried to help Trump overturn 2020?
Welp now she's working with RNC & recruiting election conspiracists "into an organized cavalry of activists monitoring elections"
This isn't going away ..
🧵:
nytimes.com/2022/05/30/us/…
2/"In seminars around the country, Ms. Mitchell is marshaling volunteers to stake out election offices, file information requests, monitor voting, work at polling places and keep detailed records of their work.
3/"She has tapped into a network of grass-root groups that promote misinformation and espouse wild theories about the 2020 election, including the fiction that President Biden’s victory could still be decertified and Mr. Trump reinstated.

It's important to note that as President, Biden's role in forcing legislative action on #GunControl is pretty limited
With a have a hyper-partisan 50/50 Senate
Last night Schumer took a procedural step to move the Background Check & the Enhanced Background Checks acts fwd
⤵️
They are HR8 & HR 1446
Both passed the House in March '21
Placing them on the legislative calendar means Schumer can file cloture & move for a vote asap
He can force 50 GOP Senators on the record
But don't hold your breath
⤵️
Instead of these bills it appears the GOP Senate are beginning to make noise about various other legislative "deals" about "gun safety" & "red flag" laws
This could very well be more obfuscation
Dems are working their asses off on this
But no one is encouraged

SCOTUS Justices will hold a "private, closed-door conference" tomorrow
To date "none of the conservative justices who initially sided with Alito have switched their votes. No dissenting draft opinions have circulated from any justice"
Short thread:
politico.com/news/2022/05/1…
2/"“That could explain why no second draft of Alito’s majority opinion has been distributed, as typically the two sides react to one another’s written arguments and recast their own.
3/"As the nine justices prepare for their scheduled, private, closed-door conference this week, they face one of the greatest crises in modern Supreme Court history, with an internal leak investigation under way,

So:
JD Vance has outsourced many campaign ops
(including oppo)
thru POV -his super PAC
Per FEC it's illegal for a campaign cmte & a super PAC to "communicate"
So attached is the public Medium page POV has set up with all the research
Looks like it's for supporters
It isn't
⤵️
Here:
medium.com/@protectohiova…
3/ This Medium account includes stuff like B Roll footage Vance's camp can use in ads
Looks simple
But in the 2/6 post for "polling" you will find a dropbox acct with *extensive* oppo research reports
On his primary opponents
And on Vance
Ohh I think this won't go well for JD ..

Per @PunchbowlNews AM re McCarthy:
"..GOP leadership is on edge. We’ve gotten numerous queries about what else may come..There’s serious angst in the leadership about who taped these private phone calls..lots of finger pointing over who’s to blame for this period of upheaval."
@PunchbowlNews 2/"..McCarthy doesn’t really have formal opposition among [GOP] at this point. Questions and doubts? Yes, sure. There’s a lot of chatter right now among members..Gaetz is the only GOPer actively agitating against McCarthy probable ascension to speaker.."
3/BUT: "Trump is simultaneously McCarthy’s biggest asset and liability. Trump presumably knows that McCarthy is likely to win the speakership, and that’s why he’s backing him. But maybe McCarthy’s grip weakens in the coming month, giving Trump an opportunity to play games.
