Marielle's widow, @monica_benicio, took her place in the City Council and remains our best friend. She has been visiting David for months with great devotion. Here was my reflection on Marielle's importance in The @Independent the week she was killed: https://t.co/HGIWlDROYX — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow marks the 5-year anniversary of the assassination of Rio City Councilwoman Marielle Franco and her driver Anderson Gomes. I remember that night like it was yesterday. 5 years later, those who ordered the murder and their motive remain unknown: https://t.co/7CT9iWxaF0 — PolitiTweet.org

This interview is hilarious. @officialbarnesy keeps raising substantive points about the BBC/Linekar dust-up to explain why it's being covered in completely trivial and shallow ways, but the TV host bot can't get off her script no matter what he says, like a teleprompter robot: — PolitiTweet.org

Silicon Valley's Democratic Congressman, @RoKhanna, this morning went on Face the Nation to urge greater federal action to protect the depositors at Silicon Valley Bank beyond the FDIC's $250k insurance: https://t.co/RlKXzKYqfS — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone who watched the years-long malevolent attacks on Jeremy Corbyn from all sorts of BBC employees -- from its shining stars like @GaryLineker to countless obscure reporters -- knows that BBC's current claim that it requires an apolitical posture is a complete joke. — PolitiTweet.org

Another fact about Delegate @StaceyPlaskett: she's barely lived in the Virgin Islands. Born in NYC, educated at Choate in CT & France, then Georgetown, in various DC law jobs. That's why she uses her Delegate status to be a social media star, not advocate for the people of VI. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The way she continues to use scare quotes around "journalists" is repulsive. Having government officials (or, in in the case of this non-voting Delegate: quasi-officials) try to exclude journalists from that protection can have serious legal consequences, which is what she wants. — PolitiTweet.org

I realize it's difficult for people born as a billionaire heir to have any humility at all, but I really wish @danielsgoldman would listen to his colleague @ColinAllredTX and learn to be honest that the Dem Party wants the CIA/FBI censoring the internet: https://t.co/5N9NnlGwgb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Look at this thread of 3 leading Democrats making the most deranged, McCarthyite statements imaginable about how crucial it is that we allow the US Security State to help censor the internet, and anyone who disagrees is an agent of Putin and Xi: https://t.co/vO4UcMZxiP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If these Congressional Democrats would just admit -- as @ColinAllredTX so eloquently did - that they believe it's vital that CIA, FBI, DHS, etc. censor the internet for our own good -- the debate would be much more honest. Instead, we get these empty bromides about free speech: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Biden has been president for more than 2 years. His appointees control all regulatory agencies. Until 2 months ago, Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. So whose fault is this week's collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank? Obviously: Trump's (probably Putin's, too). 🌊 — PolitiTweet.org

@philoshua It knows that my fashion sense is far better than you realize, causing me to retract my criticisms of its intellect. That poem is a work of art (and if you're basing your views of my fashion sense on what I wear on my show, blame our stylist). — PolitiTweet.org

I feel confident in speculating that among the "materials" on which ChatGPT was trained was this 2008 homage to Obama's greatness by the NYT's Ezra Klein: "Obama's Gift." ChatGPT's homage to Obama's greatness was only slightly less effusive than this: https://t.co/6xlVukJPne https://t.co/nqsGm1uGs3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For those eager to see the full homage to Obama's greatness - it's OK: I know you're out there - here it is. One can only imagine the "training materials" they had this thing feed on, and which they excluded, for it to puke this up, all after refusing to write one for Trump: https://t.co/ZLS1Duw3ty — PolitiTweet.org

ChatGPT is both extremely stupid and extremely biased. I don't possess the expertise to know if this is inherent to the model or if it's due to the obviously biased controls imposed by its creators, but either way it's painful. The chains they have on Bing are just sad. https://t.co/qUuzKlHtI7 — PolitiTweet.org

@michaelscherer Oh, I do hate how members of Congress heap abuse on witnesses, then get all proud of themselves when they refuse to let them respond. That's bipartisan. But the idea that "criticizing journalists = endangering them" - a Trump-era staple - is lunacy and never consistently applied. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@michaelscherer What am I supposedly doing that I blame liberals for doing? If you're talking about how I commandeered their rhetoric by saying this Delegate put the lives of these journalists in risk by criticizing them, everyone but you understood I do that satirically to mock their framework. — PolitiTweet.org

You can see the full roll call vote on Gaetz's resolution below. As @justfp points out, it's the largest NO vote on any war powers resolution since the House voted NO to authorize Obama's war in Libya, only for Obama to ignore it and do it anyway: https://t.co/QJS0xyh1Zr — PolitiTweet.org

I know the Squad only votes against the Biden administration when they know for sure their votes aren't needed (see below for what happens when they are), but this left/right dynamic is still key to seeing unlocked potential, especially on foreign policy. https://t.co/Kc1BDwd5O2 — PolitiTweet.org
