Well beyond its massive underrepresentation of the most populous states, the Senate is designed to be antidemocratic, to favor the haves over the have-nots, and to push back against popular ideas and needed change. I’d abolish it if I could. https://t.co/o6zoRbS486 — PolitiTweet.org

Before getting too excited about the Senate’s rushed ECA reforms, please check out @NormEisen’s sober and sensible notes about how sorely lacking this effort is. Those who are cheering this stab at fixing the ECA better look at the details before hopping onto this bandwagon. — PolitiTweet.org

Listen to Wolf Blitzer’s interview of me in the @CNNSitRoom during the 6 pm ET hour tonite, discussing where the J6HC hearings are going and what AG Merrick Garland looks like he’s doing to hold Trump and his cronies accountable for the attempted coup and the Jan 6 insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org

“We should take him at his word and allow him to discharge his solemn responsibilities — without fear or favor, and with all deliberate speed.” “All deliberate speed” is legal code for s-l-o-w-l-y. THAT’S NOT FAST ENOUGH. TIME’S RUNNING OUT⏳ https://t.co/xEKyam8Iz8 — PolitiTweet.org

The bipartisan ECA reform package is a good start - but a flawed one. The acid test is whether it would prevent a coup from succeeding in 2024. Without further improvements that seems doubtful. Neither celebration nor cries of despair are warranted. Getting this right is crucial. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my 7/20 CBS interview on AG Merrick Garland’s assurance that nothing will stop DOJ from indicting Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election — even if Trump says he’s running again — if that’s where the evidence leads. I’m encouraged. https://t.co/R5JdSmAQMh — PolitiTweet.org

In a wildly unorthodox move, the 11th Circuit Ct of Appeals issued an immediate stay of a lower court’s injunction of Georgia’s six-week ban, rather than waiting for a request by the State or for the official mandate to be issued. These ghouls can’t wait to hurt pregnant women! — PolitiTweet.org

WI GOP Assembly Speaker says Trump called him within the last week trying to get him to overturn the 2020 election. As recently as this past week! The former guy is incorrigible. This helps prove he fully intended to undo his loss, not just to argue he had won. — PolitiTweet.org

These ECA reforms are VITAL. They’re not perfect, but this is no time to let the perfect become the enemy of the good. And this bipartisan bill is very, very good. Congress must enact it. — PolitiTweet.org

If you still think AG Garland doesn’t fully intend to have DOJ prosecute EVERYONE responsible for trying to overturn the 2020 election, you need to listen carefully to what he said today (7/20/22): — PolitiTweet.org

AG Merrick Garland, today (7/20/22): “For people who are concerned as I think every American should be about protecting democracy, we have to . . .hold accountable EVERY PERSON who is criminally responsible for trying to overturn a legitimate election.” — PolitiTweet.org

7/20/22, 2:28pm: AG Garland, answering questions at a DOJ presser, said nothing about Donald Trump’s status as a former president would “stop us” from prosecuting him for “attempting to undo a democratic election.” — PolitiTweet.org

Scary how one man who wouldn't even be on SCOTUS but for #MoscowMitch's refusal to give then-judge #MerrickGarland a hearing (because the 2016 election was a year away) can bring us closer to a theocracy! https://t.co/5dEnl78244 via @NewYorker — PolitiTweet.org

This bipartisan bill would help avoid electoral disaster. It's not enough by itself, but its enactment would be a giant leap forward in the struggle to save democracy. https://t.co/8XERjG6fOc — PolitiTweet.org

Fani T. Willis, the prosecutor leading the investigation, is considering conspiracy or racketeering charges, which could take in a broad spectrum of people including Giuliani (and Trump) engaged in multiple efforts to sway the election results. https://t.co/aEwc4nK6lg — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Here’s what AG Garland needs to zero in on. The J6HC committee’s superb work helps — but doesn’t go all the way — for a seditious conspiracy indictment against Trump under 18 USC 2384. DOJ must fill the “agreement” gap. https://t.co/BpGEnj7Tcn — PolitiTweet.org

“The nightmare scenario of GOP court-packing is already upon us,” said Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.). “That’s how they got this far-right 6-3 majority in the first place.”  https://t.co/enwgpwUnTf — PolitiTweet.org

Yikes! At first I got really worried because I misread this as 4 MILLION years instead of 4 BILLION years and I thought we would have to start packing our stuff up to move to another galaxy before colliding with Andromeda!! https://t.co/jYIN3TRqzB — PolitiTweet.org

Read this truly excellent primer on dereliction of duty and what it means as applied to Trump on Jan 6. You’ll be way ahead of the game if you read this before watching Thursday’s prime time J6HC hearing. Be the best informed person in your neighborhood https://t.co/01Qp937JVB — PolitiTweet.org

”Given every American president’s constitutional obligation to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” there is no escaping the fact that Trump was derelict.” /www.thebulwark.com/trumps-inexcusable-jan-6th-dereliction-of-duty/ — PolitiTweet.org

“If Trump, as president, failed to activate the military during a foreign attack on our homeland — or worse, put out tweets praising the attackers — it would be tantamount to treason. In the face of domestic terrorism, his obligation to act was as clear.” https://t.co/RPKfjIW9a9 — PolitiTweet.org

True enough, @RepAdamSchiff. But more remarkable these days is that 47 Republicans just voted FOR codifying marriage equality for LGBTQ+ and interracial couples. This glass is 23% full while it's 77% empty. I opt to look at the (almost) 1/4 that's full. We can go from there. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what people have been looking for: It’s as close to a promise as DOJ ever gets: Trump can run, but he can’t hide. Deputy AG Monaco speaks for AG Garland on this. They won’t let optics stop them. Nor will they let politics lead them to indict. https://t.co/EbTSyh59SK — PolitiTweet.org
