@Justin_Higgins2 Grand jury proceedings are secret by the force of law precisely because the claims made there are so dubious due to their one-sidedness: they're not treated as proof. And that's why they're notoriously easy for prosecutors to manipulate: no adversarial component. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Maybe parts of Hutchinson's story is true (although the part that got the instant attention and calls for prosecution -- Trump assaulted his agents and grabbed the wheel of the Beast! -- was highly dubious on its face), but *journalistic* skepticism, not cheerleading, is needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If, yesterday, you followed conservative journalists or analysts -- and really, why would anyone do such a thing: just block and ignore them -- you'd have heard instant skepticism even over the physics of Hutchinson's claim that Trump was able to grab the wheel of the "Beast." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As any lawyer will tell you (if being honest), few things are less reliable than a proceeding with no adversarial component. These hearings have zero. One can assign whatever blame one wants for that, but perhaps it means journalists should be...skeptical...of assertions there. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

JOURNALISTS, all day yesterday: Trump assaulted his Secret Service agents and grabbed the wheel of the presidential limo!!! Headline news. Smoking gun!!!! SECRET SERVICE AGENTS: That never happened. JOURNALISTS: That was never an important part of the testimony. https://t.co/g0CHYfpidf — PolitiTweet.org

Sonia Sotomayor has worked closely with Clarence Thomas for 13 years -- since she joined the Court in 2009 -- and her description of Thomas from this month is the exact opposite of the ugly-trope-and-stereotype-heavy depiction Hillary Clinton spewed: https://t.co/H1acAo3DSX — PolitiTweet.org

@BMarchetich @curaffairs I don't think there are many differences between establishment liberalism and the Bernie/AOC left on social issues. There may be differences in tone and parliamentary tactics - though even there there's a lot of convergence - but on the substance, there's overwhelming alignment. — PolitiTweet.org

@Ed_Boulder @BMarchetich @curaffairs The corporate managerial class is part of the Dem Party's base. Corporate leaders at the highest levels overwhelmingly supported Biden over Trump. There's no way to disprove they have secret bad motives; we can only know their actions, and they're clear. https://t.co/CykswBF1Iu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BMarchetich @curaffairs It's not confined to abortion, as you know. Large corporations are explicitly and aggressively associating themselves with the full panoply of liberal views on social issues, because they know liberalism is dominant, especially among the most affluent consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I wonder, then, what it is about Clarence Thomas that caused Hillary Clinton to view him in Yale Law School as driven by "resentment, anger and grievance"? https://t.co/MXYv2OFiSw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BMarchetich @curaffairs Why would large corporations, which traditionally avoided overt political stances, now crave being associated with cultural liberalism unless it were the dominant ideology? If you look at Dem voters and corporate donors, it's hard to doubt that corporate managers are liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs It's honestly disturbing (but also unsurprising) how reductively you're speaking of Wanda Sykes, a major Dem donor and activist. Liberalism is the dominant force in DC, media, academia and increasingly corporations. I think its underlying premises thus merit scrutiny and critique — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lakecountydem @SteveKrak Yes, the 2 parties have been using gerrymandering for decades to reduce the impact of each other's loyal partisan followers. The top court in New York just struck down the gerrymandering plan of the Dem legislature as unconstitutional and politicized: https://t.co/4JZnknaR9k — PolitiTweet.org

@LucerneBolvin @curaffairs He's on a mission about his own brand: showing that he's a very nice, good, earnest, and concerned White Male Ally. It's all performative: as if constitutional law can be discussed on Twitter. Freddie deBoer captured it perfectly here: https://t.co/k5jjjifvr4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs I've talked extensively about Dobbs, just not in the banal and hoop-jumping way on Twitter that you do to show what a Good Male Ally you are and signal how nice and concerned you are.👇 I think what rich, influential people like Sykes/Colbert say matters. https://t.co/k5jjjifvr4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs That said, I do agree that the hallmark of marginalization is being named co-host of the Oscars. All those dirty poor people in the middle of the country whom she explicitly maligned and told to shut up and obey should also reflect on how lucky they are not to suffer as she does. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs Abortion remains a constitutional right in California, but maybe she should argue about Roe instead of telling people who are poor that, due to their poverty, they have no right to be heard and thus need to just shut up and obey. That you defend that shows the rot of your faction — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@redsteeze There's no denying the power of this tactic. https://t.co/zI9x6P4SbM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SteveKrak Democrats should send out rich Hollywood celebrities to tell the people in the middle of the country that they're too poor and gross to have any say, and that they should just shut up and do what they're told by their wealthier superiors on the coasts. Winning message.🌊 — PolitiTweet.org
