Actually thinking for a couple more seconds about it, why not get the NY AG and make her AG? She could step in day one with the most knowledge about Trump's scams.

Trump’s ex-national security adviser says president is ‘aiding and abetting’ Putin
H.R. McMaster’s warning represents perhaps his harshest public criticism of the president since the retired general was ousted from the White House in 2018.

@3:10 est, MSNBC just unleashed Mohyeldin on Steve Cortez (Trump's propaganda guy) about the ear piece made up bit.
Awesome.
At the start of the interveiw he was talking to the guy about the racist shit about Rep Omar they are doing, and he spins a conspiracy theory and ends with 'I say apparently because we don't know' with a shit eating grin. Stretching the meaning of 'apparently' to the breaking point.

It is very sad people fall into believing that kind of hatred. It only thrives in environments nobody questions the lies and false conclusions.

With Harris leaving maybe she can run for senator.
Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) got out her marker and scrawled a figure on the whiteboard beside her: $13 million.
“Do you know what this number is?” she asked Mark Alles, the former CEO of the pharmaceutical company Celgene, as he testified remotely before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. “Does it ring any bells?”
Alles could hardly get his answer out before Porter scribbled more math on the board. That multimillion figure — his total compensation in 2017 — was already 200 times the average income in the United States, the congresswoman pointed out. It got even larger, she said, after Celgene needlessly tripled the cost of a cancer medication, thus securing himself hefty bonuses in return.
“Isn’t that right, Mr. Alles?” she asked him. “If you hadn’t increased the price, … you wouldn’t have gotten your bonus.”
As of early Thursday, Porter’s rapid-fire interrogation had been viewed more than 15 million times on Twitter — the latest in a long list of her viral cross-examinations meant to draw the public to some hidden machination of Washington or corporate America.
Yet in the past two years, these stunning exchanges at congressional hearings have themselves gained plenty of attention beyond Capitol Hill — especially when Porter pulls out what one person on Twitter dubbed “her mighty whiteboard of truth.”
The newest threat to Wall Street is a House freshman you’ve probably never heard of
By now, the scene is familiar, if never less enthralling: Porter leans into the microphone by her seat in a hearing room. She turns to the board on her left to scribble some numbers. And then, she begins pelting questions at a powerful man in front of her.
Last year, to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson: “Do you know what an REO is?” she asked, before Carson confused the foreclosure termwith a cookie brand.
In March, to Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “Do you want to know who has the coronavirus?” she asked, before he gave in and promised her free testing for all Americans.
On Wednesday, to Alles: “Do you know how much you personally received in bonuses?” she asked, before he reluctantly acknowledged it was half a million dollars.
Yet, Porter continued. Celgene had repeatedly raised the price for revlimid, a treatment for multiple myeloma, from $215 per pill in 2005 to $719 last year. So she demanded that Alles, who led the drug manufacturer until it was acquired last year, explain what had changed over that time period.
“Did the drug start to work faster? Were there fewer side effects? How did you change the formula or production of revlimid to justify this price increase?” Porter asked.
Of course, he didn’t need to answer. The details were laid out in a congressional drug pricing investigation published Wednesday, which concluded that prices were jacked up to hit revenue goals for shareholders and thus score bonuses for Alles and others.
“To recap: The drug didn’t get any better. The cancer patients didn’t get any better. You just got better at making money,” Porter told him.
“You just refined your skills at price gouging.”
It is this kind of clear, insistent inquiry that has made Porter — a consumer protection lawyer and former professor who studied bankruptcy law under Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) — so effective at grilling everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to little-known Trump appointees, all with a dry-erase marker and some simple math.
“No one has ever wielded a weapon as terrifying as Katie Porter’s whiteboard,” wrote Molly Wood, a public radio journalist and host of “Marketplace Tech.” “This is just a fact.”
After a two-minute clip of the interaction was posted online on Wednesday by the consumer rights group Public Citizen, at least half a dozen people chimed in to say Porter, whiteboard in tow, should moderate the next presidential debate.
Others aimed higher. “At this point, when Katie Porter runs for president in the next decade, she won’t need a vice president,” one person wrote. “Her vice president will be her dry-erase board.”
The Daily Caller, a conservative news site, also gave her credit. “It did not end well for a big pharma exec when Rep. Katie Porter pulled out her white board,” the website tweeted.
As The Washington Post’s Renae Merle reported last year, Porter had testified before Congress several times before her election in 2018 and quickly drew notice within months in Washington for her “analytical” approach during hearings. The day before a hearing, the lawmaker said she often spends time studying a 70- to 150-page binder of background information compiled by her staff to prepare for difficult testimonies.
But for Porter, who is the only single mother in Congress, it’s all small potatoes compared to her three children at home in Irvine, Calif.
“I have never encountered a witness,” she said last week, during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “that was even close to as difficult as any one of my children.”

I asked how could you know that Bob Woodward was not leaking what Trump was saying to journalists that were reporting how bad the virus was at the time, the Washington Post was taking it seriously back at the end of February. How does that line up with the tapes Woodward had of Trump admitting it was bad?

Rant follows:
Ballots found in a river? Ballots found in a ditch? Along with how much other mail? Is this really a mail-in voting problem or is it a US Postal Service problem?
US President Donald Trump to US Postal Service Postmaster General Louis DeJoy: "Hey, what can you do to fuck up the mail so I can complain about problems with mail-in ballots and question the validity of the upcoming election?"
Dejoy: "I can decommision mail sorting machines and make sure we have insufficient resources in place for adequate postal delivery. Won't people see right through that devious plot and ask us to fix it?"
Trump: "No. We'll just blame it on the Leftist Extremist Dem's."
If I ever walked into a meeting with a complaint, no plan, no data to support my conclusions and tried to blame my problems on someone else, I'd be fired on the spot.The office of President of the United States of America is one of the most powerful positions in the world and has at its disposal the resources of one of the wealthiest countries in the world. All he has to do is tell DeJoy, "Do your job. Come back to me in three days with a sloid plan, a budget and a schedule to make it work or you're fired!" Instead he'll let it all go to shit, cry about it and blame someone else.
We the people deserve better.
