1/ Excerpted from the Brennan Center For Justice at NYU Law School: "The For the People Act has big goals: to protect voting rights, establish automatic voter registration, prohibit extreme gerrymandering, and curb the role of big money in politics. The bill has passed the House, 2/ has been introduced in the Senate as S.1, and is very popular with the American public. Nonetheless, at this very moment, some pundits are urging Democrats to strip the bill of some key provisions. It’s a bad idea, as I argue in this Washington Post op-ed. Keeping the measure

1/ Must read COVID mutation thread. My take, we could save ourselves and the lives of millions of other people if we would NOT ONLY GET VACCINATED BUT STAY MASKED AND SOCIAL DISTANCED A FEW MORE MONTHS. UNFORTUNATELY, GOP LEADERS ARE OPENING THE FLOODGATES TO DISASTER. 2/ fox8live.com/2021/04/05/loc…

THIS SCOTUS DECISION IS A victory for PA voters whose late arriving ballots will now be counted. AND, it happened because newest justice AMY CONEY BARRETT RECUSED HERSELF. In this election, every victory in every state counts enormously.
nbcnews.com/politics/supre… CNN's reporting on the SCOTUS decision rebuffing the GOP's renewed attempt at voter suppression in PA - a decision even more remarkable because Trump's rushed through "judicial asset" Amy Coney Barrett RECUSED HERSELF.

1/ When Trump announced that children are "almost immune" to COVID he engaged in a calculated lie. To the contrary, children do contract COVID in large numbers; they do suffer profoundly serious physical and neurological harm and they can transmit the disease others. Image 2/ A study of nearly 65,000 people in South Korea suggests that school re-openings will trigger more outbreaks as older children spread the coronavirus just as much as adults this large study found.

1/ LEGAL AUTHORITIES AGREE A SITTING PRESIDENT CAN BE INDICTED! The testimony of credible witnesses, documents resulting from subpoenas & Trump's own Tweets have created a huge body of evidence of Trump's criminality before & after he became president. It's time to INDICT Trump. 2/ Three things can end the Trump presidency: if he's INDICTED, impeached or voted out in 2020 by everyone voting Blue. The most immediate path is INDICTMENT for federal & state crimes the evidence of which is abundant. This thread addresses INDICTMENT of a sitting president.

1/ HOW DEMS CAN DEFEAT TRUMP. No one will indict Trump. That leaves impeachment. Nancy Pelosi & others fear impeachment unless there's an "airtight case." Trump's greatest fear is release of his tax returns. That is where the "airtight case" of criminality lies. 2/ So, the path to impeaching Trump lies in getting his tax returns. Federal law says the House Ways & Means Committee, chaired by Dem Richard Neal, is entitled to those returns. New York State passed a law that when signed by Governor Cuomo will give Congress Trump's returns.

1/ Quoting the Philly Inquirer: "The timidity of Democrats in response to Trump’s take-no-prisoners approach is disappointing, even after watching decades of battered-dog politics from the center-left. The slow-motion House Democratic . . . " (con't) 2/ "strategy of finally issuing some subpoenas after several months in power, then watching them get ignored and finally tied up in court as the clock ticks toward the 2020 election appears hopeless in the face of all-out Roy Cohn-ism."

1/ Michael Cohen will testify publicly to the House regarding crimes committed by Donald Trump immediately before and after Mr. Trump became president. Although much evidence of Mr. Trump's criminality already exists, Mr. Cohen's testimony should push prosecutors to INDICT Trump. 2/ Three things can end the Trump presidency: if he's indicted, impeached or voted out in 2020 by everyone voting Blue.

1/ Rachel Maddow pointed out yesterday, Thurs. 11/1/18, just 5 days before the midterms, a Trump administration executive order takes effect & eliminates the Obamacare rule that insurance companies can't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions. Starting yesterday, they can. 2/ In her ominous announcement, Rachel referenced the Wall Street Journal, & this quote: “This is also the first open-enrollment period under a Trump-administration change expanding access to cheaper plans that don’t cover the panoply of benefits mandated by the ACA.

1/ Rachel Maddow at 6:55 pm PDT on 10/31/18 is reading on air the findings of the grand jury that investigated Watergate and Richard Nixon's role in it. These documents have been sealed for 44 years. They provide a "roadmap" for how information about the criminal acts 2/ of a sitting president should be handled. Because the grand jury was concerned that a sitting president could not be indicted, the "roadmap" provides for the sealed findings of the grand jury to be delivered to the judiciary committee of the House of Representatives.
