    The owner of the newsstand/bodega in my neighborhood wanted to show me a picture this morning. Said FLOTUS Jill Biden stopped by unannounced last week to buy $95 in magazines and newspapers. Most excitement store had seen. Took a selfie with the staff.

    The Lincoln Project ad "Mourning in America" that so enraged Trump? The group only spent $5,000 to run it on Fox News in Washington, DC. It didn't air elsewhere. "We were trying to reach one person. It was $5,000 well spent," operative says.

    VP Pence is not expected to attend President Trump's sendoff at Joint Air Force Base Andrews tomorrow morning, per White House officials. He is attending the inauguration later in the day, and aides say it would be logistically challenging for the vice president to do both.

    Pence's team does not agree with the Trump lawyer's assessment that Trump was concerned about Pence's safety. Trump didn't call him that day -- or for five days after that. No one else on Trump's team called as Pence was evacuated to one room & another, with screaming mob nearby.

    Sarah Sanders says the president got elected by an overwhelming majority of 63 million Americans. He lost the popular vote by three million.

    In a scene you couldn't script, Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is found guilty on eight counts and Trump lawyer Michael Cohen pleads guilty to eight counts within minutes of each other. Trump is on Air Force One flying to a rally in West Virginia.

    Trump told allies that Sidney Powell was too much, even for him, after Thursday. He sees the fight as uphill but fleeting and doesn’t see her as helpful anymore, per several advisers.

    Source just texted me: "Imagine running Exxon-Mobil for decades and being a titan of the world and then being fired by Donald Trump on Twitter."

    Imagine Trump's lawyers may not love the final line of his latest Truth Social post. "When will you invade the other Presidents’ homes in search of documents, which are voluminous, which they took with them, but not nearly so openly and transparently as I did?"

    Trump mused to donors that we should take our F-22 planes, "put the Chinese flag on them and bomb the shit out" out of Russia. "And then we say, China did it, we didn't do, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch."

    We knew this, but reiterating: While Jan. 6 violence went on, Trump didn't call Pence to check on him. Didn't call military officials. Didn't call legislative leaders. "He placed no call to any element of the US government to instruct the Capitol to be defended," Cheney says.
