Mike Pence is the head of the coronavirus task force and has nothing to say about the coronavirus as cases skyrocket. He was planning on going on vacation in Florida and then canceled it -- not to deal with COVID, but to advance Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud — PolitiTweet.org

Everything about this is unethical. https://t.co/7lBwi0JyXf — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

I think the risk of a successful coup is low but the fact that Trump is trying to overturn the results and withholding funds and access from the Biden transition impedes the next administration's efforts on COVID and will likely result in more deaths — PolitiTweet.org

What a farce. — PolitiTweet.org

Is Mark Cuban really this clueless? Sure, donate to a food bank. But politics is about people. The fact that many people need help makes the election in Georgia even more consequential. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s 2020 and everyone is still falling for fake Twitter accounts — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump campaign attorney also admitted they are not alleging any fraud occurred — PolitiTweet.org

Important point here: The Trump campaign is using QAnon conspiracy theories as the basis for some of its legal challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

The weakness of Trump's legal case does not change the fact that he is trying to undermine the basic foundations of democracy -- or make his gambit any less dangerous https://t.co/Jhhnzi7RwE — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Since I wrote this, Trump has changed how money donated to the "Election Defense Task Force" is allocated Instead of paying down campaign debt, cash now goes to Trump's new PAC, Save America The money still does not actually fund legal challenges https://t.co/JU88kMP3S7 — PolitiTweet.org

@pkafka To me, the play would be to license the Trump name to an existing service (Newsmax?) and take a cut of the revenue. Less work and risk. — PolitiTweet.org

SIXTEEN more fundraising emails from the Trump campaign today (and it's only 7PM) — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Just a reminder that Trump said after the election COVID would disappear and no one would talk about it anymore — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@zeynep I don't actually see it as a huge problem for anyone other than campaign operatives. The public doesn't really need to know the winner of an election in advance. Coverage should focus on substance. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@zeynep I'm not saying a significant number of people are lying but perhaps polling in 2020 is just different than voting. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@zeynep What do you think of the notion that answering a poll has become a performance that is different from voting?People know their answers will be parsed and analyzed and help determine the narrative so they might provide a different answer than they provide in a voting booth. — PolitiTweet.org

Election update: 1. Biden won by a wide margin 2. There is no evidence of fraud 3. There are no lawsuits that could reverse the outcome 4. Trump is sending dozens of fundraising emails each day, scamming his supporters 5. Elected Republicans are happy to play along — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans have no evidence of voter fraud so now they are trying to buy some https://t.co/oybW3OAnpm — PolitiTweet.org

6. @McDonalds CEO went on cable TV yesterday to congratulate Biden. But McDonald's is also a longtime client of Jones Day. The company did not respond to a request for comment. https://t.co/MzjXb94Bgs — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

5. None of these companies responded to a request for comment about their relationship with @JonesDay and whether the firm's conduct is consistent with their corporate values https://t.co/MzjXb94Bgs — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. The following companies have recognized Biden as the winner and said Trump's fraud claims won't change the outcome. They are all also clients of @JonesDay: @JNJNews (Johnson & Johnson) @Dell @ProcterGamble @WellsFargo @Verizon @Hanes https://t.co/MzjXb94Bgs — PolitiTweet.org

3. @Amazon has recognized Biden as the winner and emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the democratic process It acknowledged receipt of Qs about its relationship with Porter Wright, but didn't provide an on-the-record response https://t.co/MzjXb94Bgs — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@JonesDay 2. Porter Wright is seeking an injunction to prevent Pennsylvania from certifying its results, which would disenfranchise millions of voters. Among Porter Wright's other clients is @Amazon. https://t.co/MzjXb94Bgs — PolitiTweet.org

1. Two corporate law firms, @JonesDay and Porter Wright, are helping Trump attack democracy Jones Day says it's not involved in efforts to overturn the results, but is representing the PA GOP to try to invalidate thousands of ballots https://t.co/MzjXb94Bgs — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@JonesDay More on Jones Day, Porter Wright, and their clients in my newsletter tomorrow https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

In this statement, @JonesDay claims it is "not representing any entity in any litigation challenging or contesting the results of the 2020 general election" If so, why is it pursuing a case in the SCOTUS to invalidate ballots in Pennsylvania? What is the purpose of the suit? — PolitiTweet.org
