MAGA declared a state of emergency for the GOP as soon as Ukraine aid passed the House on Saturday. Johnson and Republicans who support aid were excoriated for working with Democrats, who helped pass the GOP rule and then the package of aid bills. thebulwark.com/p/johnson-will…

Layered over volatile scenario is threat of violence, whether Trump explicitly encourages it or not. His torrent of lies & cowardice of elected GOPs created permanent threat to election workers. Trump supporters are primed for battle—metaphoric & physical. plus.thebulwark.com/p/start-the-st…

At massive-dollar events, most of money will go to RNC, but at smaller fundraising events, much of it will go to Trump. The arrangement allows Trump to tap funds from larger donors for his legal matters without money ever passing through RNC per @nytimes . plus.thebulwark.com/p/trump-legal-…

Schumer’s break with Menendez is long overdue. It would be awkward & painful. It could rile donors & power brokers. He would be abandoning most successful & highest-ranking Latino in Congress. Menendez said he won't forget those digging my political grave. plus.thebulwark.com/p/chuck-schume…

In Dec Hunter demanded public hearing, Republicans refused. He defied subpoena & busted into Oversight Committee on Jan 10, asking why they wouldn't depose him in public. His Trumpian spectacle embarrassed Republicans, causing Rep. Mace to become unhinged. plus.thebulwark.com/p/hunter-biden…

This followed Trump and Republicans killing off a package of bipartisan border fixes, paired with Ukraine aid, because it would have helped Ukraine, the border, and President Joe Biden’s political standing. plus.thebulwark.com/p/bright-spots…

Polling shows Sinema never pulls even, her candidacy risks Lake pulling out a win. Without Sinema, Gallego can move to become choice of the independents & Republicans who are repelled by extremism & have delivered victories to AZ Dems since 2018. plus.thebulwark.com/p/why-the-sine…

All of these are signs of Trump’s strength, not weakness. Which makes it a curious time—in a dark week of lies, distortion, and submission—for some Republicans to suddenly try telling the truth now that the hour has come to toe the line for good. plus.thebulwark.com/p/an-outbreak-…

Daily Beast reported, Mace is facing staff exodus because she fostered “toxic” & demoralizing workplace. She fired CoS, who is considering challenging her in primary, & many other aides have walked. Several of them said she’s “abusive” & “delusional.” plus.thebulwark.com/p/nancy-mace-i…

Indeed, Swift doesn’t tweet about Trump, talk about Trump, hit fundraisers or hang out at White House. Besides her endorsement of a Democratic challenger to Sen. Marsha Blackburn in 2018, & of Biden in 2020, she has largely kept politics on the down-low. plus.thebulwark.com/p/maga-has-tds…

Biden remains underwater, with higher disapproval than approval. Most concluded Biden is too old. As commentators have noted Biden has never been popular; his honeymoon in the presidency was temporary as the country basked in the relief of dumping Trump. plus.thebulwark.com/p/bidens-low-a…

ENDORSING TRUMP WILL BE PAINFUL for many Republicans because, as Chris Christie said last week, “they know better.” Those who have waited until now to kiss the ring have not forgotten what Trump demands. plus.thebulwark.com/p/its-white-fl…

As Biden said in Valley Forge, by abandoning truth, Republicans are abandoning democracy. Without objective truth in a rules-based system, we will have anarchy and tyranny. plus.thebulwark.com/p/most-urgent-…

Despite polling in last place, & being eclipsed by Haley in the Live Free or Die State where he has placed all his hopes for a win, Christie explained the reason he remains a candidate is not actually to win but to expose the danger & corruption of Trump. plus.thebulwark.com/p/christie-can…

Effort to impeach president will divide GOP conference & could backfire: If GOP don’t locate actual Biden crime —with evidence to back claim up—they may not be able to convince colleagues in swing seats to take a vote that could cost them their jobs. plus.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-hake…

Those Dems who do not concede Trump’s policies are winning over some of their own are clinging to real data too—data that shows abortion is a huge political liability for the GOP—and they tout a record of sustained electoral successes 2017-2023. plus.thebulwark.com/p/can-the-anti…
