"Rather than trying to win these individual policy arguments in a series of robust public debates and votes, [Dems] are hoping to ram through the whole shebang in one fell swoop," writes @mattklewis. "Even kids recognize that Santa appreciates restraint." https://t.co/fXPiWprpM6

The playbook is to make the Republicans only accept elections that they win. It’s a crucial step in the breakdown of democracy, in which only one party is willing to accept the other party’s legitimacy after an election, even if the election is nearly flawless. https://t.co/dpbVqLJaBx

You’re going to see a lot of news reports label these members as “moderates,” with a loose implication that they are politically vulnerable. For the most part, they’re not. They’re just close to the pharmaceutical industry. https://t.co/WPadfld6gY https://t.co/ak1tP7Y7TQ
It was never about the dress, it was about a socialist lawmaker attending an indulgent gala during a pandemic/eviction crisis while defund the police activists got arrested outside protesting the mayor inside. If you think the dress made up for all that, then fine. But I do not.

I’m sorry but the recall was a complete and unmitigated disaster for Republicans and the forces pushing it. They got destroyed and in some ways it’s the first concrete piece of evidence that Trumpism has enduring political costs.

Even when Democrats like Gavin Newsom utterly dominated and won a bad-faith recall by a margin of 67-33, the political and media class in this country STILL caters to the anxiety, rage, and talking points of an extremist GOP minority. When will we say enough?
"Californians loudly rejected the GOP's bad faith effort to recall Gavin Newsom by a landslide. This means Democrats are out of touch and need to reach out to conservative voters, the average Americans from Main street, and abandon their tofu, quinoa & elitism. Analysis at 11."

2021 Media Analysis Democrats: When they win, they still lose. Republicans: When they lose, we have to make sure they feel less anxious, or else they'll throw a fit, whine, maybe even do a violent insurrection, spread disinformation, suppress votes, but that's all Dems fault.
#LarryElder is basically Trump in Blackface, which is why Gavin Newsome will probably beat the recall. Once the election became a comparison between Elder & Newsome, instead of a referendum on the governor, the race was over. https://t.co/TPeoT4itGl

"The fact that [Republicans] can get away with saying nothing one way or the other, tells you that they aren't uncomfortable enough... The people who are going to be here for this rally, they were sent there by Republicans in Congress" - @kurtbardella w/ @NicolleDWallace https://t.co/Y5GOG4FVKf
While @CNN is not yet able to make a projection, the “no” vote – rejecting the removal of California Gov. @GavinNewsom – has an early lead in CNN’s exit poll. If that lead holds, he will retain his job as governor of California.
@DrJasonJohnson @PeteDominick @WajahatAli Y’all are so so lucky to get an advance copy!!
I felt so emotional today watching my son disappear into his school, all eyeballs and mask and spelling homework. Their lives are so precious. Our lives together are so delicate. And helplessness is painful. Sending every family and teacher and staff extra love today.

@TyLeisher A lot of people are grabbing onto that number bc you included it lol and bc it’s still a lot of money for most folks. Bo is super talented! Lots of things contributed to his Emmy win including his years of grinding & industry access many don’t have. Can’t ignore that

@harrysiegel My day job is split between a pop center and a an applied demography group that acts as a data journalism arm for under resourced newsrooms. We successfully piloted that during census and are now trying to expand.
@harrysiegel I keep thinking of a civic continuum in which voting and census participation are the end or the most visible but not the only ways people can help democratic institutions. (This is what I do for my day job as well.)
@harrysiegel Ideally, communities would do this for their own electeds each year. But that’s hard for a variety of reasons. So that’s what I’m hoping to test / see.
@harrysiegel I’m curious if - let’s say - libraries or community orgs or PTAs or high schools organize this as a community activity, whether it helps people a) contribute meaningfully outside of voting and b) helps them ingest more info about candidates

Trump Calls Allies to Demand Gen. Mark Milley Be ‘Arrested’ for ‘Treason’ https://t.co/2Dvx2VpAAe via @thedailybeast
@RobMcCreadyCO @gtconway3d No. The system is designed NOT to do that.
@gtconway3d @BillyNoTakes Former STRATCOM chief tried to answer that when asked in Congressional hearings. I was not heartened.
@gtconway3d @TheMosasaurus "Sir, transmit again, my cell signal is weak"
@THeels77 @BillyNoTakes @gtconway3d That's not how it works.
@gtconway3d Of course. I'm just saying that there's a whole bunch of dangerous orders that can be given before you get to "this one is a capital offense."
@TheMosasaurus @gtconway3d Imagine a battalion commander who says to some 1LT: "Get over here and bring materials XYZ from the battalion office with you. And don't stop to tell your captain or the major. On the double." Is that legal? Sure it is.
@TheMosasaurus @gtconway3d It's perfectly legal.
@gtconway3d Yes, but if that included "belay that order unless you check with me," that's a problem. Even if it's the right thing to do.
The problem with the Milley revelation is that the Commander in Chief was nuts. But that doesn't mean Milley can rewrite the nuclear chain of command (which is what he did, if the Woodward and Costa story is correct.)

@CaseyNikoloric But also may have been the unavoidable thing.
@svdate There is no solution other than not to elect lunatics and have them supported by a craven party of sedition and opportunism
@RadioFreeTom Occasionally there appears a female where a bloke looks twice, and he has some weird instinct that this gal might have a particular skill set. Lee.
But if you have an unhinged President and a mob that has just attacked the Capitol, you also cannot say "all the laws must go unexecuted but one." Seems to me that Milley found a middle ground here of saying "procedure" that would give breathing space to other officers. /4
Milley, I think, was trying to steady the ship in case Trump called in some more junior guy and said "Get me Xi on the phone and bring the football." But you don't want it to become a thing where CJCS can say "ignore POTUS orders unless you clear with me." That's dangerous. /3
Bad-faith calls from craven opportunists like Rubio mean nothing. And no CJCS has ever had to deal with a mentally ill president who was actively trying to overthrow the constitutional order. But before we cheer any of this, let's remember that everything becomes precedent. /2
@jbarro Not one of the current crises Biden faces is in the same category as "A four star general felt the need to call a nuclear peer power and reassure them we're not crazy while almost making sure to jam a stopper in the nuclear chain of command." Nothing's even close. https://t.co/XBqZObOB91
@jbarro Because it is a constitution worry of the first order, a sign of a serious breakdown in civil-military relations, and it involves the nuclear chain of command, the most dangerous and important power a President can have for four years. We should be shocked and alarmed, but 🤷‍♀️
@jackiestein62 @bungarsargon "But Melania" is not the right answer, and the fact that AOC looks like she did a left-wing Melania turn is not really a good thing for Democrats.
A quick bunch of emails filled with semi-literate obscenities tells me that I was mentioned either by Fox or Twitchy, and it turns out to be both.

I don't think the China call is as serious as the nuclear chain of command issue here. This is somewhat like Schlesinger in '74 (and Kissinger and Moorer in '73), but there's no real precedent for this. https://t.co/0iPFK1L8gE
