Saying Trump is on trial for paying hush money to a porn star is like saying John Wilkes Booth was tried for sneaking up behind Lincoln in Ford’s Theater. Silencing Stormy was just the means Trump used to commit the crime of fraudulently killing Hillary’s 2016 presidential bid.

Beto O’Rourke is a breath of fresh air, totally authentic and every bit as impressive as Barack Obama was at a similar point in his career. Substantive and authentic, grateful to be where he is, eager to listen, able to hear. He should be president. The only question is when.

Today’s date is a rare eight-digit palindrome (reads the same, forward and backward), 02/02/2020 — the only one of its kind this century: The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 11/11/1111, 909 years ago. We’ll only have to wait another 101 years for 12/12/2121.

Pence’s Chief if Staff Mark Short says it was just “coincidence” that OMB’s Michael Duffy emailed DOD to hold the $391M just 2 hours after Trump’s July 25 shakedown call with Ukraine’s president Zelensky. How gullible do these dudes think we are? Duffy must testify in the Senate

Too few people realize that Roe v. Wade is a 2-sided coin. It protects a woman’s liberty to choose *whether or not* to bear a child. Relegating that choice to the state isn’t a PRO-LIFE move but an ANTI-LIBERTY move. If a state can say “stay pregnant!” it can also say “abort!”

Memo to @senatemajldr McConnell: A huge risk you run if you keep guys like Bolton & Mulvaney from testifying at trial: when they finally DO go public — and they will — it’ll be clear to everyone exactly what you were hiding. That time bomb is bound to explode eventually.

Any future debates in this cycle, including the town hall POTUS-level debate, should obviously be conducted by Zoom, with the moderator as host controlling the mute button. Isn’t it obvious this is the way to go? Please retweet if you agree.

The White House has taken down the tents where people who were entering used to have to be tested for Covid symptoms. The strategy is clear: Pretend the pandemic is gone, and our Covid crisis will be over. Truth be damned. It’s idiotic and suicidal.

WOW: The Dec 7 filing in SDNY on Michael Cohen’s sentencing charges that President Trump (aka “Individual 1”) directed a criminal conspiracy with his attorney Cohen to violate the federal election laws in order to increase his odds of winning the presidency by deceiving voters.

Rand Paul isn’t shy about his fears: "I'm very, very concerned that if you solicit votes from typically non-voters, that you will affect and change the outcome." Read that again: The concern here is that new voters may ... vote. That's it. That's the entire "scandal.” — Daily Kos

The @maddow interview of Lev Parnas was staggering. His story hung together well. If true, what he said crushes any remaining Trump defense. It is also damning to VP Pence, AG Barr, Devin Nunes & Rudy Giuliani. And it makes inconceivable a decision not to subpoena Bolton.
