I've got a piece in @TheAtlantic this morning arguing that the Electoral College is an essential part of the story of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election - and a major the reason he came so close to succeeding. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv… 1/

Attorney General Nominee Merrick Garland: "I come from a family where my grandparents fled anti-Semitism & persecution. The country took us in and protected us. I feel an obligation to the country to pay back and this is the highest best use of my own set of skills to pay back."

This is the most important staff hiring in the new Senate. @Bill_Dauster knows more about reconciliation & parliamentary rules than anyone. Strategy sessions in the Oval Office & Senate will begin with "Bill Dauster says ..."
I'm happy to be returning to the Senate next week as Chief Counsel of the @SenateBudget Committee under Chairman @BernieSanders. politico.com/news/2021/02/03…

These domestic terrorists may be able to delay the process that the Constitution commands. But they will not stop it.

Georgia's votes have been counted and recounted, and its GOP leaders affirm its Electoral College votes.
This call to “find” the exact number of votes needed to overturn the will of Georgia voters will not work. But it is a Watergate-level shock-the-conscience presidential tape.

OK, so we're doing this.
By all reputable accounts, we have just had a well-run election, despite difficult circumstances, with zero evidence of widespread fraud. Scattershot legal challenges have been brought to courts throughout the country...

Attorney General William Barr has authorized prosecutors to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities, if they exist, before the presidential election is certified. The move comes despite there being little evidence of such fraud. apne.ws/2xk1mVO

Max Weiss, a 25-year-old law student at @williamandmary will be a poll worker in VA this year. “It’s less risky for me than it is for my grandmother or my parents,” he told @nytimes “I feel some sort of sense of duty to country to do that.”

THREAD: Have Trump-appointed judges impacted 2020 election litigation and therefore how we run the election? Let us count the ways.

I hope you’ve been hacked, @GovMikeHuckabee. Trying to undermine the faith of the American people in our democracy with this baseless voter-fraud nonsense? Publicly confessing to committing felony violations of AR Code §§7-1-104(a)(11)-(12)?
Not funny. Not cool. Appalling.

D.C. media is about to be like:
A big day of scandals for both candidates.
- TRUMP refused to promise a peaceful transfer of power, threatening the end to American democracy
- BIDEN only answered 3 reporters' questions on the tarmac

There are 61 days until Election Day.
It is illegal in all 50 states and under federal law to vote twice. As any federal officeholder or law-enforcement official should know.
And there’s still no basis for the conspiracy theory that #VoteByMail will lead to a rigged election.
