Being a Republican requires you to be shameless
"Democracy is really endangered when Georgia’s once heroic Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who voted for Donald Trump but nonetheless stood up to him, gives in to forces that would overturn the election," writes @carlsonmargaret https://t.co/LnSngUlqby

Time for a reset in our discussion of the GOP and the "big lie." This isn't just about being "delusional" or "unable to accept facts." In many cases the entire point is to assert the power to declare elections invalid *in the face of* the facts. New piece:https://t.co/higTdIP8gm

Crazy Arizona
John Brakey, an official helping oversee the audit of the 2020 Arizona election, says auditors are looking for bamboo fibers because of a baseless accusation that 40K ballots from Asia were smuggled here. #AzAuditPool pic.twitter.com/57UOBYIehg

Sure, we should cooperate with Republicans
Not that I doubted it for a second, but it’s so useful when he comes right out and says it like that:
Senator Mitch McConnell: “100 percent of my focus is on stopping this new administration.”

Jen Psaki on Mitch McConnell's comment that all of his focus is on stopping the Biden administration: "I guess the contrast for people to consider is 100 percent of our focus is on delivering relief for the American people." pic.twitter.com/gRhlSCq89Z

Pushing Liz out
TRANSLATION: Representative Liz Cheney is unwilling to lie.
The false message of the @GOP Caucus is that the election was stolen because voters were given water (or Hugo Chavez did it). That’s the #BigLie that led to the former President to incite an insurrection. https://t.co/zPeBt8HgIN

Every person of conscience draws a line beyond which they will not go: Liz Cheney refuses to lie. As one of my Republican Senate colleagues said to me following my impeachment vote: “I wouldn’t want to be a member of a group that punished someone for following their conscience.”

The enemy within
Which, in this case, isn’t such a bad thing:
NEW: Staffers at One America News, the misinformation-peddling outlet favored by Trump, don’t think their own stories are true, & are cheering on lawsuits against the owners. One producer, re the Capitol riot: “That’s what happens when people listen to us” https://t.co/2ZL234P4aP
