Such a deadly move by the hard core GOPers. It’s a fatal strike to the soul of the Democrats.

@Ignorem62281500 @bryantschaefer @anthonygonzalez @brianhartline The reason this matters, contrary to your arrogant dismissive take, is that claims of fraud are used to distort the vote by much larger amounts than the actual error introduced by fraud. That is the explicit 30 by Republicans. Are we to just ignore it? Say nothing?

@Ignorem62281500 @bryantschaefer @anthonygonzalez @brianhartline So by choosing “not to die” on this particular hill, you are ceding the argument to disingenuous forces who have a very clear anti-democratic agenda. That’s your right. I will make a different choice.

@Ignorem62281500 @bryantschaefer @anthonygonzalez @brianhartline I can pick any source of measurement error and claim “this must be stopped! It distort the signal!” As engineers know, this is almost always counter productive beyond a certain point. In this case, it is counter productive to democracy but highly productive to voter suppression.

@anthonygonzalez @Ignorem62281500 There was almost no fraud. Statistically there was no fraud. Why even say there was?

@kozzmoknight @Chris4Perkins “Peacefully assemble” with a body count of 5. Sure.

@Chris4Perkins The capitol is the peoples house, and we have the right to peacefully assemble. That makes trespassing a weak charge. I know the far left wants to arrest everyone at the protest, because they just want to punish everyone they disagree with. Its just a freudian thing

@marcorubio When was the last time you posted on twitter and weren’t ratio’d?

Waste of time impeachment isn’t about accountability It’s about demands from vengeance from the radical left And a new “show” for the “Political Entertainment Industry”

Joe Manchin, a millionaire senator from West Virginia, is the main hold up to $2000 stimulus checks. [THREAD] [1/8]

I guess unity is when you lose, holding on to any lever of power you have no matter how destructive it is to the long term health of the country.

@jasonintrator Yes.

Brilliant use of the world “even” - again, fantastic writing ⁦@politico⁩ !

You can feel the journalist laughing here by the way the quotations marks are placed - not the entire sentence quoted, but just this one clause. Kicker is who is being quoted. Great writing ⁦@politico⁩ !

@jdawsey1 Which president are you talking about?

NEWS: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former press secretary for President Trump, will announce tomorrow that she’s running for governor of Arkansas. She’s seen as leader in the polls and the president’s preferred candidate in a GOP state. Expect video announcement of her bid. Yeah but I

@NoahShachtman You’re seriously writing this story? An editor assigned to you and you didn’t pee yourself laughing right then and there?

This is the stupidest of all possible conspiracy theories. Exercise for the reader as to why.

David Brooks does not... understand irony. Or humility. 🤔

@nyttypos @maggieNYT It is if you’re Trump.

@maggieNYT Ma'am, I know you're a devotee of the instant-coffee Axios school of reporting, but the creation of a third party isn't really a decision one definitively makes in 24 hours.

In last 24 hours, after floating through a few folks that he was considering creating a third-party as a way to keep Senate Rs in line ahead of impeachment, Trump has been talked out of that and is making clear to people he isn't pursuing it, per ppl familiar w his thinking.

@scottjshapiro World class shit post.

Not to be that guy, but I hated Josh before the world did. Just saying.

My main takeaway from this profile of Senator Hawley is that everyone hates Josh, lol amp.kansascity.com/news/local/art…
