UPDATE: @SenatorHagerty and the Republicans just voted to let Trump take the Qatari jet with him when he leaves office.
Insane corruption. There is no bottom.

Pitch-perfect response to Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin from @GeorgetownLaw Dean Bill Treanor.
It’s always a privilege and honor to be part of the GULC community (and to be Bill’s colleague), but *especially* today.

*Long* McConnell statement on Hegseth. Takes aim at core arguments Hegseth made at his hearing.
“Mere desire to be a ‘change agent’ is not enough to fill these shoes. And ‘dust on boots’ fails even to distinguish this nominee from multiple predecessors of the last decade. Nor is it a precondition for success.”

NC Justice @AllisonJRiggs speaks to a crowd of supporters on the Halifax Mall. Riggs won her election for NC Supreme Court. Her opponent continues to try and overturn the result even after multiple recounts show that he lost. #ncpol
then @abbydphillip questioned Jennings and he claimed that Trump will soon be in charge as commander-in-chief
even though Trump won be my C-in-C or Scott’s
because we’re not active military
neither are the border patrol agents
presidents execute laws passed by Congress

#Syria's longest prisoner, Raghid Tatari, freed tonight after 43 years in prison. His "crime" was the winning against Hafez's son Bassel in a equestrian competition.

It will be easy to lump Cooper into the Gov->Sen failures incl. Bullock, Bredesen, Hogan, etc. but NC is much more competitive than those other states.

NEW: Federal judges overseeing Jan. 6 cases are watching as defendants grow more defiant, emboldened by Trump's return.
Their message about the gravity of the is about to become increasingly lonely in Washington.

Senator McConnell literally called federal judges himself and pressured them to quit, so Donald Trump could fill their seats.
Hypocrisy.

Joe Manchin's legacy
He was the deciding vote to
—Kill ACA repeal in 2017
—Give Dems Senate control 2021-2022
—Pass $1.9T Covid relief bill
—Pass Inflation Reduction Act (clean energy, ACA $, rx negotiation)
—Ensure KBJ + Biden judges got a vote
While repping a Trump+40 state.

biden did this, it got no media attention, all the people who claimed that it was their #1 issue ignored it and still hated him. basically the domestic story of the biden presidency
While he’s at it he should pardon every single person serving a nonviolent weed conviction.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
At the federal level, Biden already did this. apnews.com/article/biden-…

Random, loosely worded thread as I go through the exit poll:
Voters were more worried about Trump being extreme than Harris.
Real Benisons retweeted
It was never about Biden's age or Harris's lack of policy proposals. It was about reporters being bored. Covering competent governance was like eating a bowl of plain oatmeal and what they want is Walter White's blue meth.

This is such a harrowing look at what lies ahead with Trump, from @NormOrnstein. Also note his point that the extreme thinness of the GOP House majority may end up being a last-ditch bulwark against Trump:

“Create deflation and also send us free government money” ok mandatory econ 101 for everyone
Some voters are hoping President-elect Donald Trump may send out another stimulus check. Experts say the likelihood of this is extremely slim. cbsn.ws/4hZrqlH

something that voters believe is that the government should print lots of money and give it out to people for free in order to fight inflation

Today, I had the honor of awarding Cecile Richards the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
With absolute courage, she fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are – a nation of freedom.
Through her work to lift up the dignity of workers, defend and advance women’s reproductive rights and equality, and mobilize Americans to exercise their power to vote, she has carved an inspiring legacy.
