Lawrence O'Donnell nails it: “No supporters of Kamala Harris attacked the Capitol today to prevent the counting of electoral votes. That is something that only happens on one side of our politics.”

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly on the verge of breaking his first signature campaign promise — and it would great news for America.
Let’s all hope that this turns out to be true…
According to The Washington Post, Trump and his aides are now considering imposing foreign tariffs only on "certain sectors deemed critical to national or economic security.”
Previously, Trump had vowed to slam "universal tariffs" on foreign imports as high as 20%. The threat was lambasted by experts who correctly pointed out that it would tank the economy.
Despite Trump's claims to the contrary, it would be American consumers who end up footing the bill as companies pass the cost off on them.
The Post's Jeff Stein reports that three anonymous sources have stated that Trump backpedaling on this issue "would jettison a key aspect of Trump’s campaign pledge, at least for now" but "no decisions have been finalized and that planning remains in flux."
"Preliminary discussions have largely focused on several key sectors that the Trump team wants to bring back to the United States," Stein wrote.
"Those include the defense industrial supply chain (through tariffs on steel, iron, aluminum and copper); critical medical supplies (syringes, needles, vials and pharmaceutical materials); and energy production (batteries, rare earth minerals and even solar panels)," he added.
For all of our sakes, let's hope that Trump caves.

On the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, Trump allies were still scrambling to get fake elector documents from WI & MI to Vice President Pence.
House Republicans last week released new video from Jan. 6 which includes Sen. Ron Johnson R-WI carrying those fake elector documents. 🧵
On Feb. 16, 1953 mission, Ted Williams’ plane took heavy hits. His hydraulics were gone, his radio was out, the plane was on fire. John Glenn flew to his wingtip & pointed up. They flew up into thinner air & the fire went out.
Williams dropped down to the runway, skidded into a belly landing, leaped from the cockpit and ran as the plane caught fire again. Jerry Coleman called out: “Hey Ted, that’s a lot faster than you ever ran around the bases.” Williams shot back at Coleman: “What the hell do you know? You never got on base.”
Williams allowed that he didn’t quite say that, but he declined to repeat the words he actually used.
Trump's complaint about flags flying at half staff recalls how he resisted lowering the flag when McCain died. As we reported in "The Divider," his chief of staff John Kelly told him if he didn't, "when you die the public will come to your grave and piss on it." @sbg1
Jan 6, 2021 Flashback:
Kevin Greeson (pictured here relaxing at home) stormed the Capitol, armed with a taser. During the violent uprising, he accidentally tasered his testicles, suffered a heart attack & died.
Please don’t make fun of him because that would be nuts.
🧵 On this day, 4 years ago, I was a devout member of the MAGA community, and was angered by the events of Jan. 6. Not, however, for the reasons you may think.
