This is a good segment from All In with Chris Hayes: He was in the meeting with Trump’s lawyers today. He’s apparently very hands on.

At the time of the 2022 survey, 60.5 percent of our staff identified as white and 35 percent identified as people of color.

Frank Luntz He needs to atone for this. He is hugely responsible.
An interesting segment with Andrew Weissman: Others have made the point but it’s important to remember: the people who testified about Trump’s efforts to overturn the election were some of his staunchest defenders. They went along with all his unethical behavior but finally drew the line at a coup. They will make good witnesses because of it.
Ron DeSantis’ implosion has been well documented here and elsewhere. It’s real and it’s spectacular. This is just frosting on the cake: “Ron DeSantis fires staffer who retweeted video with Nazi imagery.” He’s also an up and coming Nazi but the NY Times and National Review don’t have a problem with that. Maybe they should have read the Tim Miller profile of this fine young man from last March: As Miller wrote: “Nate Hochman’s hiring sends a signal of what the Florida governor wants for his campaign.” He knew what he had. He liked it.
Republicans are all saying that this proves Hunter Biden needs to go to jail for the rest of his life. And it means that Joe Biden is the most corrupt leader in the history of the world: We now know that the deal is on hold and they will appear in court in a couple of weeks presumably with this deal ironed out. This is just par for the course these days. As I Xitted earlier:
They have brainwashed the right into being pro-Putin and even Sean Hannity can’t stop him. I’m too tired to go into why he’s wrong about everything so I’ll just let Evan at Wonkette explain: Legitimate Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was feeling like ending the polarization, so last night he visited Sean Hannity, where the polarization ends, for an exclusive town hall. That’s what he literally said at the end of the interview when Hannity asked him why he was running for president. He said he would end the polarization by telling the truth. SPOILER: When somebody asks you why you’re running for president, and the beginning of your answer is “I mean …” and then a long pause, you’re definitely about to tell the truth. That’s how the interview ended, so now we’ll backtrack. The meat of the interview didn’t do much to end the polarization or spread the truth, unless you’re one of the fluffers in King Putin’s court, in which case the message was exactly what you instructed your propagandists to disseminate to the useful idiots.
Last fall as we were all girding ourselves for the impending “Red Tsunami” and contemplating what it was going to do to the remains of the Biden agenda, I wrote that we should be prepared for Revenge of the MAGA cult and recognize that it was inevitable that the Republicans were going to try to impeach Joe Biden. At that time Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene had already filed five impeachment resolutions against him and it was well known that Donald Trump would not be very happy if the new Republican majority didn’t issue payback for the two impeachments on his record. One of the resolutions she filed on Biden’s very first day in office claimed that he had tried “to influence the domestic policy of a foreign nation and accept benefits from foreign nationals in exchange for favors.” That was, of course, based upon the bogus Ukraine scandal that prompted Donald Trump’s first impeachment. Nothing would be more satisfying to Trump than for Biden to be impeached for doing what Trump did when he attempted to blackmail the President of Ukraine into smearing Biden.
