With this rant, Trump a) locked up the domestic terrorism vote & b) dared DoJ and State prosecutors with civil unrest. Will they be scared off? https://t.co/FAmlyUT8v9

Maybe before. Not now.

This obituary of Edgar S. Cahn captures the essence of a pioneer of public interest law in America.

Cahn & @RalphNader were the Washington & Jefferson of this historic movement for justice. https://t.co/IEshqbTuLm

"first they came for the gypsies..."

[Jack Cocchiarella 🌹 @JDCocchiarella]

Republicans want to ban books to “protect children.”

How about you try protecting students from guns.

[Steve Silberman @stevesilberman]

Who could have guessed that a man who took a job at HUD he was absurdly unqualified for because Trump saw his black face and thought "Housing projects!" would be trotted out to criticize Biden's "identity politics."

[Mark Green @markjgreen]

Shorter:

Will the GOP kill Roe? They're trying to mandate pregnancy...because of "freedom"? Orwell would understand.

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

For the past 49 years, Roe v. Wade has ensured that every person has a right to safe and legal abortion. Unfortunately, Republicans have undertaken an effort to assure Roe’s legal precedent is dismantled to put abortion access at greater risk than ever before 🧵

2/2 Newt too almost told the truth when he predicted on FOX that Members "on 1/6 Committee would go to jail."

If he instead predicted "top Trump aides would go to jail" -- given 1000+ times they've taken the 5th so far -- he'd be a fortune teller. @ShadowingDC

[Mark Green @markjgreen]

1/2 DeSantis is convincing...if his lies were true. Instead, he's a wannabe Mussolini carrying around his own balcony. @ShadowingDC

His slogan: "Nothing succeeds like excess."

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

Without a shred of clinical data to support its decision, the Biden Administration has revoked the emergency use authorization for lifesaving monoclonal antibody treatments.

[Mark Green @markjgreen]

If 10k protestors agst cop killings lawfully gathered at WH, then 2k marched to Capitol to vandalize it & stop Elect College certificatn of Trump to install HRC, how many of these 175 Rs would be demanding the death penalty?

When is it ok to call these *patriots* anti-American?

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

Jan. 6 commission passes 252-175. 35 Republicans in favor.

[Mark Green @markjgreen]

.@jbarro, you misread poll given ranked choice.

True, Garcia's ahead of Wiley for 3d place by 2 pts on Round One but what really matters are the later match-ups.

Wiley's ahead of Garcia in rounds 9 & 10 + on heels of Adams/Yang to get into final 2. https://t.co/iYiEGMwUTp…

[Mark Green @markjgreen]

Wow. South Carolina is now a pro-choice state.

[The Recount @therecount]

Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC) signs a bill that requires death row inmates to choose between firing squad and the electric chair.

[Mark Green @markjgreen]

South Carolina is pro-choice!

[Reid Wilson @PoliticsReid]

SC Gov. Henry McMaster has signed legislation reinstating the electric chair and allowing execution by firing squad - https://t.co/DT9lmgA8Gd

.@RossBarken explains @scottmstringer path to City Hall -- Steady Eddie in Center-Left Lane.

Indeed, these races akin to Short Track Speed Skating: for 9 laps all glide together..then a frantic, elbowing, tripping sprint in final lap till someone wins by an inch.

[Ross Barkan @RossBarkan]

NEW: Scott Stringer wants to be the man who can defeat Andrew Yang. He's got UFT and WFP. Does he have chance? What's going on with this race?

Nate's view oddly shallow...voice, gender, MA margin, DNA, 'likability',ditto most comments. Everyone's a pundit

The best way to crystal-ball '20 is quality over a lifetime. @ewarren is a grounded/tough/brilliant/relentless plain-talking prog leader - Okla to Hvd.

Works 4 me.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

My basic view on Warren's chances is bearish. For whatever reason (she's seen as old news? the DNA test? sexism/she reminds voters of Hillary?) her polling has been quite poor especially given her high name recognition. Her margins of victory in MA also have also not been great.

2/2 Handicapping 2020 without names: QUALITY COUNTS.

To all mediates & kibbutzers: what's the best way to size up the Dem field?

[Mark Green @ShadowingDC]

1/2 Handicapping 2020 w/o names: AN ECONOMY FOR ALL.

Two astute economic minds - @rkuttnerwrites ,@DLeonhardt - conclude best econ approach not race-based but class-based focusing on widespread hardships. https://t.co/rgrZEsD3Vb https://t.co/1EDP1Ic7lI

Who's best populist?

[Mark Green @markjgreen]

2/2 Despite an undying cliche that it's ineffectual, we produced 400 investigations/bills/lawsuits improving laws & practices. Yes it's sometimes a "stepping stone" for officials - from LaGuardia & Al Smith to de Blasio & James. Which is a bad thing because...?@NYCSpeakerCoJo

[Mark Green @markjgreen]

1/2 Like Haley's Comet arriving rarely but regularly, a bill eliminating the Public Advocate has been introduced. The handful of proponents should read my history of the office, "An Analysis of the Country’s Only Elected Ombudsman,42 N.Y.L. Sch. L.Rev. 1093(1998).@NYCSpeakerCoJo

Worth it: Nader in @Salon on Ds/Rs:
