THREAD: One reason I haven't complained about Democrats this year is the simple math that 218 House Votes & 67 Senate Votes are required for impeachment.
There is no way Democrats, ALONE can save us. Less still if we actively erode them.
What we actually need is Republicans to defect. 🧵

So a few things about this from friends who were on this chat: This chat was "lightly vetted" so they're making a big deal out of very little. It was not infiltrated -- so your vetted chats on signal remain safe. But caution is king.

From a pure intelligence perspective,
today’s Oval meeting is a wonderful opportunity to determine who can reach out to POTUS and have him pay attention the fastest,
And
Who can make their pitch stick the longest.
Sure, today is a nothingburger, but it’s still a capabilities review.

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

This administration's playbook is to blame *everything* on immigrants.
It's easy for the base to understand. And it saves members of the administration from having to discover, much less understand, the true causes.

Unions must stand up and those who aren't in a union, need to think about the importance of unions. If they weren't vital to protecting workers and successful, the administration wouldn't be working so hard to bust them.
