Trump’s first words: “There’s no way we lost Georgia, no way.” Says he’s looking at “eight different states” and “I think we’re going to win them all.” (They have all been certified." Insists he'd be fine with losing if election wasn't rigged. (No evidence presented). Trump putting the screws to Mike Pence onstage; says Pence will have "a lot to say about it," meaning Wednesday's certification. Again Trump emphasizes he won 75 million votes (not quite true) but ignores Biden's 81 million. Pretty standard post-election speech so far.

This is what Republican House and Senate members are siding with: a presidential demand that, without any evidence and by voiding legitimate votes, state officials reverse the election in his favor. AUDIO: wapo.st/2MlD8ga via @WordsOfSarah The Washington Post obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, flattered him, begged him to act and threatened him with criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims. via @AmyEGardner.

Today Democrats openly advocate socialism... but it was freedom not socialism that gave us” best economy, 2 world war victories. “America will never be a socialist county.” Next up at Trump reelection kickoff: Melania Trump, @flotus, who declares herself "excited" to serve as First Lady for 6 more years.

Trump falsely characterizing Hill immigration debate. Says Democrats, who are in the minority, are blocking action: "It's only the Republicans in unison who want to change them." Immigration bill foundered on Republican divisions. Trump trying to counter pictures of women + children in the caravan that still is about 1,000 miles from border: "These are tough people...young men, strong men..they've overrun the Mexican police and overrun and hurt badly Mexican soldiers...They've injured, they've attacked."

"We will hear from two witnesses"--Grassley opening the hearing with a nod to the extremely limited nature of the re-opened Kavanaugh matter. Grassley opens with request for decency and civility, then moves into praise of Kavanaugh and reminder that "nowhere" in previous FBI looks at him "was there a whiff" of inappropriate sexual behavior. Repeats that Dems kept Ford letter "secret"--which is how Ford wanted it.
