Manchin is “caught between the miners union and mine owners, who vehemently oppose BBB.” Serves him right!  https://t.co/X4i6zJzwVG — PolitiTweet.org

This is one of the best short essays on the ins and outs of this path to disqualifying insurrection leaders like Trump from future office. I’ve been working with several members of Congress on this option and will make sure they see this piece. https://t.co/oeQB27buiq — PolitiTweet.org

I trust Judge Mehta to get this right by rejecting Trump’s legally weak defenses. Stay tuned! https://t.co/rMLRrE0Kwd — PolitiTweet.org

“Electoral-count reform is a narrow fix, insufficient for the many problems in the voting system—but it’s better than nothing at all.” At least it addresses election subversion — even if not vote suppression. https://t.co/Kr3E7J5L0X — PolitiTweet.org

This extremely useful issue brief helps to clarify “how future elections are threatened and how public policy can address those threats.” Every member of Congress — and yes, every citizen — should read this carefully and soon: https://t.co/WEHyifpy0N — PolitiTweet.org

If the 1/6 committee concludes that Trump did oversee a conspiracy to defraud the United States of a lawful electoral outcome, as increasingly seems to be the case, then it should promptly refer him to DOJ for immediate investigation and possible prosecution under 18 USC sec 371. — PolitiTweet.org

Is it any wonder that at least some of the Justices appointed by a president who believes in "alternative facts" share his indifference to truth? — PolitiTweet.org

Despots fear friendship. It’s a prerequisite to democracy and the precondition of a good life — and a danger to dictators, who count on people to turn on their companions and need division, envy, and suspicion in order to thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

“The SCOTUS arguments on Friday 1/7/22 — and the broader trends of which they are a symptom — underscore why it would be worth revisiting the other part of Roosevelt’s court reform plan.” https://t.co/HPnG4bfxZd — PolitiTweet.org

I join in mourning the loss of a great moral force and intellectual leader. I was lucky to have known and been inspired by Lani. The pathbreaking work of her brilliant son Niko Bowie will ensure that her memory will be a blessing long into the future. https://t.co/CPy1rVj5ZH — PolitiTweet.org

“Even in his stirring remarks, Biden did not describe Trump’s acts as a crime so much as a sin against democracy—and against the truth.” Evidence that they were also a grave federal crime remains for the Justice Department to amass and display to a jury. https://t.co/h88Wsuntvz — PolitiTweet.org

Conspiracy to defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371) may sound novel to CNN, but it’s the crime many of us have long been saying Trump and his pals should immediately be investigated for committing. No need to start at the bottom with that crime! https://t.co/F5OszxnoV0 — PolitiTweet.org

"I've seen zero indicators whatsoever," Woodruff Swan told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, "that the DOJ is investigating the people close to Trump and Trump himself in relation to their efforts overturn the election." https://t.co/jmuYujKISx — PolitiTweet.org

“He can’t accept he lost,” Biden said. “He’s not just the former president, he’s the defeated former president. … You can’t love your country only when you win.” https://t.co/n4HaySepGJ — PolitiTweet.org

This goes too far. Whatever else Merrick Garland believes, he certainly does NOT believe that a President is "above the law" or should escape accountability for criminal behavior. I'm critical of Garland's pace, but I have to object when he's unfairly accused. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I've been saying this for weeks. But the AG's failure to confirm that DOJ is investigating the entire coup to overturn the election, and his focus on Jan. 6, just might be strategic deflection. Let's hope so. If he's NOT now investigating the entire coup, it's a total disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to disagree with @jimzirin here. At a minimum, DOJ must launch a full-scale criminal investigation of the entire attempted coup, not just the 1/6 insurrection. When should Garland get started? YESTERDAY!! — PolitiTweet.org
