Mark meadows claims Trump tested positive for Covid before Biden debate in new book Also, Meadows, his former COS, has agreed to some cooperation with the Jan 6th committee
Charlie Baker (R- MA governor) is not running for re-election!
And neither is Polito! I'm pretty surprised at this. Do you think he was worried about getting beaten in the primaries by Diehl (who Trump supports)? I'm not sure that would be the case here in MA but maybe. I was wondering if he (or both of them) may be looking at a federal position, despite giving the whole "more time with our families" speeches. Baker is a pretty moderate republican with a lot of cross-aisle appeal, maybe Biden is in talks with him for something?

I doubt it on all counts. I think he handled covid poorly and is worried about losing to a dem challenger. The field is already looking pretty good. Diehl is a non-entity and I highly doubt Biden is considering him for anything high profile enough to draw his interest. The major appointments have already been made.

Also I’ll be happy for the day when people stop referring to Baker as a moderate Republican. He’s fucking awful. Being moderate only when compared to the off the charts right wing people in his party is not an accomplishment.
@neworleans and when another R rep surprisingly took her to task for doing that, Marjorie TG called the one decent R rep “trash.” How is this acceptable?!? The rest of us would be fired for doing these things. They just get more famous.

I have a feeling he'll run for pres.
Ew, no thanks.
I hope Maura Healey throws her hat in (ETA: for Governor). I really thought Joe Curtatone (outgoing Mayor of Somerville) would make a run, but he's taken a private sector job.

They try to outdo each other in ugliness and filth

Yes! It continues to amaze me that politicians paid by the government can act in ways that would violate every government and private companies' code of conduct and face no consequences most of the time. It's so stupid.
CNN suspended Chris Coumo indefinitely due to his involvement in his brother's investigation. Guess that's the end of him.
I saw this last night and it made me sad. I kind of figured it was coming, but I really enjoyed watching him.
I liked watching him once in a while too. I call him Quid Pro Coumo since the Ukranian scandal when CNN was saying "quid pro quo" 9 million times a day LOL
How much do you want to bet that he was hoping Biden would get sick?
The story is a bit more interesting....he took another test & it came back negative (but maybe they made this a cursory test so it wouldn't show up positive?)...but he also look horrible & appeared possibly sick...I think we were all chatting during the debate about how he looked ill & then remember how quickly he went from announcing the positive test to being in the hospital? And then skipped the required pre-debate test b/c he was late. This was all following the big rose garden ceremony & he met with all the purple heart families in there too.

And then he blamed the military families for making him sick.

Biden was asked the following:
Reporter: Do you think the former president put you at risk? Biden: I don't think about the former president.
Mic drop!
This is one of my favorite things about Biden. His teams posts multiple times a day on Facebook (and I assume Twitter), and it is never, ever, about anything from the past. That must drive Trump CRAZY. If only the media would follow suit...
