Pompeo tells McConnell that he does not plan to run for Senate in 2020, most likely ending Republican hopes of securing a potentially dominant candidate for the open seat in his home state of Kansas. @maggieNYT @jmartNYT @alexburnsNYT https://t.co/fLV8y1cIFI — PolitiTweet.org

Those are some fabulous books by some of our very best writers. So glad you're reestablishing the old library of Post authors. As a young Post reporter, I used to stare at the shelves, inspired by all those journalistic titans. — PolitiTweet.org

Fabulous movie both as a coming-of-age tale and as a journalism parable that reminds us to write what you see in front of your face, not what you wish you saw. It's usually the better story anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

In the angry and frenzied aftermath of the American drone strike that killed Iran’s top general, with vows of revenge hanging in the air, Trump confronts a decisive moment that will test whether critics were right or whether they misjudged him. https://t.co/hDDBHRfnlV — PolitiTweet.org

Two decades ago, the House impeached the president even as he was bombing Iraq. His opponents accused him of wagging the dog to distract attention. His supporters accused the other party of undermining a commander in chief at a time of national security crisis. Sound familiar? — PolitiTweet.org

During his holiday sojourn in Florida, Trump took time out to call Ron Lauder and yell at him for not doing more to “support” the president, per ⁦@maggieNYT⁩ https://t.co/eIDE9FZVQs — PolitiTweet.org

The Suleimani killing could restore deterrence and lead Iran to finally pursue diplomacy, ⁦@robsatloff⁩ argues. "The very brazenness of the act may have so unnerved Iran's leadership" that negotiation becomes "an attractive alternative." https://t.co/I1vMEWVjOL — PolitiTweet.org

Here's how Packer describes his subject in one evocative sentence: "Because of Holbrooke's psychological mutation of not being able to see himself, and maybe not giving a shit anyway, he lets us ogle ambition in the nude." — PolitiTweet.org

Over the holidays, finally got a chance to read George Packer's masterful "Our Man" -- what a rich and textured portrait of a complicated man. One of the best biographies in a long time. https://t.co/DfxBW5BOzj — PolitiTweet.org

Options included strikes on Iranian ships, missile facilities or militia groups. Pentagon tacked on targeting Suleimani mainly to make other options seem reasonable. ⁦@helenecooper⁩ ⁦@EricSchmittNYT⁩ ⁦@maggieNYT⁩ ⁦@rcallimachi⁩ https://t.co/VigulsCZXj — PolitiTweet.org
