Ahead of the Jan. 6 Select Committee’s first public hearing on Thursday, panel member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) offered a preview of what the public can expect the committee to share about the events surrounding the deadly Capitol insurrection last year as then-President Trump and his allies tried to subvert the election.
Have I mentioned yet this week that I love Jamie Raskin? 
… but emphasized that the hearings will serve as a vehicle to help the public “connect the dots” on the events surrounding Jan, 6.
Speaker Pelosi should decree Thursday-- “Buy Republicans A F^cking Sharpie Day!”
Well, it’s only just now past 1:00 pm (Central Time) on Monday.
I know! I’m 37 hours late in proclaiming my affection!
I urge everyone to read Raskin’s book, Unthinkable. Not only is it an in-depth thesis on the constitutional issues involved before, during, and after 1/6, but it is also an ode to his beloved son, Tommy.
That’s when and why I fell in love with him.
Not wanting to be a broken record, but I’m not sure if I have any broadcasts down here in the Dominican on Thursday night, so’s I can hear this stuff. Any chance for a live blog?
I’ll be stateside after Friday night.
As a Marylander, we have loved Jamie for a long time, and before that his mother and father.
MSNBC just started advertising it this morning, with ALL their hosts slated to be there. I don’t know how much they will show uninterrupted. C-SPAN has it in their schedule on C-SPAN1 & C-SPAN radio.
Will you have access to either of those streaming?

I kinda understand Jamie. My son is 45 now but when he was 9 and then again at18 he was hospitalized for bipolar disorder. His prognosis at 18 was 50/50 for suicide.
This will clarify your priorities like nothing else.
Possibly, access to streaming.
However, team functions that night could go late - I can pick up the live blog occasionally on my phone (I did the international plan, so I don’t have an issue with data, etc.). Thursday is our final night here - darned work getting in the way of my taking part in history.
Republicans will refuse to believe anything these hearings reveal, Independents won’t be watching and Democrats already know. Sigh!
His book was so good, so important, and so personal.
“If a person can grow through unthinkable trauma and loss, perhaps a nation may, too.”
― Jamie Raskin, Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy
He is the definition of a good and decent human being.
too bad it is not on Netflix. Then you could download to watch on your flight. 
“The committee has found evidence of concerted planning and premeditated activity,”
So TMFWWNBN clearly wasn’t involved 
What % of the electorate is amenable to being swayed by these hearings as to their opinions of what happened, and why, and what should be done about it? 3%? 4? This nation has the polarity of a magnet. You’re for Trump, or against him, and the middle is a damned scant few persons.
Pretty much. This won’t move the needle.
Not like when they start arresting rape victims for traveling to get an abortion.
The flight from DR to Charlotte-Douglas is some three and a half hours. I’m also likely to be at the airport here in DR for a couple of hours.
Come to think of it, maybe YouTube (for which I have an account) might have at least some of the highlights - worth a try…
