    GOP "investigation" of voting in PA has jumped the shark. Other sham audits are coming. Trump just claimed 1/6 rioters are "persecuted." This will get worse. Dems need to prep for a big national argument about this crisis next year. and me:

    Yes, and: 4. When Republicans filibuster, Republicans don't have any agency or responsibility for the end result. 5. When Republicans filibuster, the media must treat this as entirely a matter for Democrats to resolve.

    The Senate Republicans' position in a nutshell: 1. Congress must raise the debt ceiling. 2. Democrats must do this on their own. 3. Republicans won't let Democrats do this on their own.

    “We are like to have the overthrow again.” “Henry VI, Part 1”

    In all kinds of ways, Trump allies and right wing media propagandists are pushing the notion that in some fundamental sense, the underlying cause on 1/6 was a just and righteous one:

    "It’s important to stress that both these narratives — the stolen-election lie, and the effort to absolve Trump of blame for Jan. 6 — are mainstays of right-wing media propaganda." Now also pushed by GOP elites, they endanger democracy in the US.

    I’m pretty confident that, somewhere in the business offices of Fox, they’ve discussed how the end of democracy would be good for business and it would significantly increase their market share.

    I talked to Natalie Jackson, research director at . "The data’s pretty clear” that Fox and right wing media “are very responsible for this type of thinking," she said. Huge majorities of those who rely on such sources are being badly deceived:

    Thank you !!!!!!!!!

    McConnell's debt limit stance is lunacy: It's a *threat to vote for default.* That's what filibustering a DL hike means. This is being cast as a dilemma for Dems. That's only true in that GOP recklessness/bad faith creates a dilemma for responsible actors:

    RT if you agree with me that the January 6th Select Committee should hear testimony from about his conversation with fmr. VP Dan Quayle. I explain why we need to hear from Pence under oath in my latest piece:

    Stop calling the debt limit mess a "stalemate" or a "dilemma for Democrats." It's Republicans threatening to vote to drive the US into default. It's just that simple. Why isn't this basic fact being conveyed clearly and accurately to readers?

    "Dems do not appear to have a strategy" for overcoming McConnell lunacy on debt limit, NYT subhed says: Let's stop treating GOP bad faith as a fact of life in which Rs have no agency and that Ds are solely responsible for overcoming (NYT piece is better)

    Good piece by demonstrating what baloney it often is when "moderate" Democrats piously invoke their own alleged "fiscal responsibility," this time in the context of the drug price reform debate:

    We don't have to accept the idea that GOP filibusters and bad faith are natural, inevitable features of our governing order and political life, ones in which Republicans supposedly have no agency and which Dems are singlehandly responsible for overcoming.
