- Ben Sasse, citing conversations with senior White House officials, says Trump was "excited" and "delighted" as his supporters tried to storm the Capitol and was "confused" others weren't so excited hughhewitt.com/senator-ben-sa…
- Still obsessed with the fact that this is all only happening because *the Biden team* asked for and received an unprecedented pre-convention general election debate
- Amazing to see Texas's turnout soar now that it's a presidential swing state. Here's an idea... what if we made the votes of people in every state matter for the presidential race?
- Welp, here's another 390 pages of Lev Parnas messages, posted by the House: docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU… Starts off with a fun one to Parnas from a Trump PAC official: "What should I send Don to tweet?" A tweet from Jr. soon materialized.
- If Nebraska Rs switch the state to winner-take-all, and it’s too late for Maine to do the same, the impact could be enormous. Namely, WI-MI-PA would no longer be enough to get Harris to 270. She’d need at least one more swing state (NV, GA, AZ, or NC) to get over the line
- Will Hurd exemplifies what a moderate Republican is in 2019: makes some mild criticisms of Trump, but ultimately comes around to defend him, says what he did wasn't so bad, and blasts the Democrats.
- Per this reporting, after Gaetz blew up the solution was to have Pam Bondi play the AG on TV while Stephen Miller actually ran the department.

- Here's Mueller's reply to Manafort's sentencing memo in Virginia. Says Manafort has not accepted responsibility, and doesn't buy his health concerns documentcloud.org/documents/5759…
- Current Senate Dem overperformance compared to Harris margin: Tester +13 Osborn +13 Klobuchar +11 Gallego +7 Brown +7 Allred +5 Rosen +4 Heinrich +4 Kim +4 Kaine +3 Slotkin +2 Baldwin +2 Casey +2 Mucarsel-Powell: 0
- Gaetz allegations seem to be getting more press attention relative to the more disturbing (indeed chilling) Hegseth allegation
