I will only be making one post here. Do not ask who I am. Do with this information as you please.
The Trump Card is being played. It's much simpler than you all realize. Some of you have gotten it right.
More from Trump
1. Yes, Trump will claim to intend to target GOP senators up for reelection in '22 (like he did to Thune with Kristi Noem) if they don't join in @HawleyMO's sedition on Jan. 6, but the fact is, it's not clear whether Trump will be successful in ANY of those efforts & voting yes
2. to hedge off these threats will also create fissures & fractures for these incumbents among other elements of their party that could complicate their renominations. Indeed, what worries me the most about the potential for the country to slip into @anneapplebaum territory is
3. that what should be robust and intense push back from the party establishment against actually ending democracy- bc that's what Trump's request would do, if it was granted, is fairly muted. What we SHOULD be seeing from the mainstream of the party is threats to strip committee
4. assignments, chairs, privileges, even reelection funds, if anyone gets involved in this bullshit- in the House & the Senate, and the fact that you don't see it is more than a story of McConnell & McCarthy being afraid of Trump & his base. Its a story of receptivity, of the
5. level of receptivity the congressional and party leadership is dealing with both within the rank and file membership of the party and within its donor class, and THAT, my friends, is why you find me so concerned. That, and my decision to finally pull @anneapplebaum's book
A lot of conversations today among Republican senators over move by @HawleyMO to challenge the certification of Biden\u2019s Electoral College victory. Small groups of Rs were huddling on & off the floor trying to game out the politics of what will happen Jan. 6

1. @NYGovCuomo became a pandemic star by contrasting himself with Trump
Cuomo crafted an IMAGE of being determined, honest and grounded in science
But 11 months later this image is falling apart
Follow along for a FACTUAL assessment of Cuomo's
2. Cuomo WROTE A BOOK, published in October, celebrating his own leadership during the pandemic.
Cuomo writes that NY had "confronted and defeated" the virus, and had "achieved what all the experts told us was impossible."
Today, things look
3. Today, New York has 338 people hospitalized with COVID per million residents.

4. Overall, 46K New Yorkers have died of COVID, which trails only California (47K), a state with 2x as many people.

5. A new report by NY AG Letitia James (D) found Cuomo's order requiring nursing homes to accept residents w/COVID "may have put residents at increased risk of harm"
Cuomo dismissed criticisms of his nursing home policies in his book as
