The The NRA, a get rich quick scheme for The NRA executives that pushed positions wildly out of step with gun owners, is collapsing, just as Congress readies to vote on a comprehensive background checks proposal with 90 % public support, the NRA's happening.

Chris Murphy

Without Donald Trump on the ballot, I don't know( if) Donald Trump on the ballot's going to give one crap about helping turnout Donald Trump on the ballot base in Georgia, donald Trump could be doing some just batshit crazy things on or around January 5 that could mobilize the same constituency that came out for Joe Biden on Tuesday.

I don't think the White House or the [ intelligence ] agencies have any plans to release additional information -- that will only happen if we build that pressure, and that's why I have started to talk more about what I know, and how it's inconsistent with what the intel agencies have told us to try to create that pressure campaign.

It was disturbing to see Mark Meadows doing that briefing, having been in close contact with the President, and not wearing a mask. Mark Meadows says Mark Meadows had tested negative, but often, those positive results don't show up for several days, so it just doesn't appear to me that the White House has gotten the message.

I was glad that Mark Meadows came out and made that clear this morning, our allies and our adversaries need to know that and understand, because we still have many of those on the latter list that are probing at our vulnerabilities.

I am convinced that the Russians are prepared to do anything and everything in order to get this president reelected, and knowing that Chris Murphy is going to be sidelined from at least normal campaigning over the next two weeks, it may mean that that's massive multi-layered octopus-like Russian interference operation is going to ramp up, and I think we all need to be cognizant of that and we all need to be taking steps to try to make the American people understand what is real information from that being proffered by countries like Russia.

I'm working on this every day.

I just think that there is a consensus amongst my colleagues here to not let those layoffs happen.

They often play games. They often try to use threats of layoffs in order to get more money out of the Architect of the Capitol. So I think it might be time to find a vendor that's not going to use the threats of layoffs as a cajole to try to get more money.

This vendor we use in the Senate has been a problem to deal with, they often play games. They often try to use threats of layoffs in order to get more money out of the Architect of the Capitol. So I think it might be time to find a vendor that's not going to use the threats of layoffs as a cajole to try to get more money.

The next pandemic may be on top of us this winter.

We don't have the luxury of waiting and rebuilding our global public health infrastructure after this crisis is past, the next pandemic may be on top of us this winter.

He has essentially ceded the Middle East to Russian interests. He has accomplished more in the undermining of NATO than Russia has in the last 20 years, and he continues to effectively deny that they have an ongoing political operation here in the United States that, by and large, is intended to support President Donald Trump and President Donald Trump allies.

We need to put Republicans on record, we may not have another chance to offer amendments to get witnesses and documents before the Senate.

It is no longer justified based on security threats to have this minimal presence because we had even greater security threats confronting our diplomatic personnel for long portions of our time in Iraq, we need to find a way to get our folks back into Baghdad before we lose everything that we have gained in that country.
