Reminder that this is what a functioning political system does to right-wing coup leaders

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

People need to understand that one of the only things keeping conservatives in line, 20 years ago, was the concern of political revolt if their decisions were too extreme.

Now, they don't fear that at all. They think the opposition is too weak. They're going to keep doing this.

In 1923, Adolf Hitler led a failed coup. He was treated leniently. Germany moved on.
A decade later, he was dictator, and the worst disaster in the history of the civilized world ensued.
In 2021, when the president of the United States leads a failed coup, we must not move on.

I hope President Trump has a swift and complete recovery from COVID.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood for all of us. She was an American hero, a giant of legal doctrine, and a relentless voice in the pursuit of that highest American ideal: Equal Justice Under Law. May her memory be a blessing to all people who cherish our Constitution and its promise.

EXCLUSIVE: A Russian spy unit secretly offered bounties to militants in Afghanistan for killing American troops, U.S. intelligence officials found. Trump and White House have known for months, but not authorized any response.

Thread: On Sunday, John H. Tyson, chairman of Tyson Foods, published a front-page newspaper ad with an ominous message: “The food supply chain is breaking.”

It was a frightening dispatch from a major meatpacker. But there's more to the story. 1/

White Privilege is violating the Governor’s Executive Order and standing on the Capitol steps with assault weapons and guns without being fined or tear gassed by police yet Black and Brown Detroiters were fined $1,000 for going to the park.

Unreal.

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

I see the President has decided to incite riots in Democratic governed states because his response to a pandemic has been so horrible. I'm sure NYT will find a way to boths sides this.

BREAKING: The proposed guidelines for “opening” America have been released.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

I'm proud to announce that Midwest governors will work in close coordination to reopen our economies in a way that protects families from the spread of COVID-19.

Thank you @GovWhitmer, @GovMikeDeWine, @GovEvers, @GovTimWalz, @GovHolcomb and @GovAndyBeshear for your partnership.

[meimichan @meimichan]

That sounds about right.

[Ray Reynolds- @cr8f]

So, thousands of Americans dying doesn't faze Donald Trump, but business owners saying without tests they won't open does?

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Article II of the Constitution gives the President the power to adjourn Congress if—and only if—the House and Senate cannot agree on a date for ending the current session.

But they have agreed—January 3, 2021.

There’s a reason why this power has *never* been exercised before.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

A SCOTUS seat was stolen from Justice #MerrickGarland, so I don’t give a damn about a whiny Dictator wannabe complaining that his crazy unqualified GOP judge nominees aren’t getting approved by Congress.

This.

[Laurie Pohutsky @lpohutsky19]

Everyone has the right to protest, but to be clear: Lansing is empty. We are almost entirely working remotely. All Operation Gridlock is accomplishing is blocking traffic for essential workers and first responders in the middle of a pandemic. This is silly and irresponsible.

[Dana Nessel @dananessel]

Using your right to peaceably protest in such a manner as to spread a virus which may endanger your life, the lives of your friends, family and neighbors, and the lives of countless food service, law enforcement and healthcare workers does not make you a patriot.
