@ctognotti @sethisnotmyname @SystemUpdate_ @justinamash @matthewstoller Horrified I spend so much of my time on such trivial and insignificant institutions like the US Security State -- CIA, FBI, NSA, DOJ -- the Democratic Party, and major media corporations. But as trivial as my interests are, they have always been the things on which I focused. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@sethisnotmyname @SystemUpdate_ @justinamash @matthewstoller More self-identified "leftists" upset about possible criticisms of the Democratic Party? Will you also whine if I speak ill of Bill Kristol or Homeland Security? — PolitiTweet.org

@DiligentDenizen @SystemUpdate_ @SabbySabs2 We heard several comments about the audio so it must have been a processor issue. We're working on it. — PolitiTweet.org

On tonight's @SystemUpdate_, live at 7pm ET, we'll examine what's at stake in the ongoing Speakership saga and what it says about how power is wielded in DC. We'll speak with @JustinAmash and @matthewstoller - and maybe a surprise guest - about all this: https://t.co/wpOEBW0KCu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On last night's @SystemUpdate_, I asked one of the best and most-independent leftist analysts, @SabbySabs2, whether she harbors envy watching GOP holdouts use their leverage against Party leaders when the Squad and House Progressives are too afraid to: https://t.co/S0GIhRBaeQ https://t.co/jyXGtga5iF — PolitiTweet.org

Look at us! We never talk back to the teacher! We sit - quietly and orderly - and do what we're told. You'll never hear questioning or dissent from us. We didn't even need *one vote* for our Leader! We were given the name and did it by acclimation!💪✊ https://t.co/t7uqZrUhR6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This continues to be such an amazing part of all of this: how Dems - especially the Squad and other "progressives" - are so aggressively proud of how they obediently united behind a Leader who openly despises them, and are just unwilling ever to raise a ruckus about anything: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamAdlerBell I forgot about that - blocked that out - though I'll use that for my show tonight because this is part of what we're covering on the Speaker thing. That quote is hilarious. There was also that time they voted for more domestic spying power for Hitler: https://t.co/y85BwQQtKO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamAdlerBell I mostly stayed far away from that debate in part because of how much it ended up focused on personalities (mostly Jimmy) instead of the substance, but the Squad's unwillingness to challenge party leadership, like ever, is a very valid question in my view. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamAdlerBell There were tons of demands they could have made. The Squad had been continuously humiliated under Pelosi despite being Good Dems, like when AOC got crushed for this key Committee assignment by someone who voted *against* Pelosi: https://t.co/Iy6uECP4QQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jesusisafable That may be because it was Democrats who spent more than a decade telling their voters to vote for them because they opposed these War on Terror policies, and such bills couldn't pass without them. It could, though, also be because you're clearly incapable of reading: https://t.co/9jnGIwnQvw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jesusisafable Excellent point, except I reported on that bill, given that the only reason Trump was able to get that bill passed was because people like Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff decided to give Trump more domestic spying power while they were calling him Hitler: https://t.co/y85BwQPVVg — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The reason this matters - beyond the key role Obama and Pelosi played in preserving NSA domestic spying - is that a handful of establishment leaders in both parties agree on most things, and rule the country together as a club. Most members have no power: https://t.co/oele1St1yl — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The incident Amash is referencing is amazing. In the wake of the Snowden reporting, there was huge bipartisan support for reining in the NSA's domestic spying. Amash and John Conyers co-wrote a bill poised to pass. Then Obama got Nancy Peolsi to whip enough Dem votes to sink it👇 https://t.co/eG38KRO1pj — PolitiTweet.org

@MarlaTauscher @daveweigel @davidsirota @PeteButtigieg I would like you to take a moment to earnestly contemplate how stupid you are. You think when journalists criticize the failures of cabinet officials - some of the most powerful people in the country - they do so only "for money"? This reporting was from the leftist David Sirota. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Sirota - a life-long leftist - also notes a now-depressingly-common trend. Liberal corporate outlets refuse to report on anything that reflects poorly on Dem leaders, so only right-wing outlets reported on the documents Sirota and his team uncovered showing Buttigieg's failures: https://t.co/wrnH7PoQKn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Read @davidsirota on how most of the corporate media -- with the sole intention to protect @PeteButtigieg -- completely distorted what caused the meltdown at Southwest Air that stranded a million passengers. His culpability is as clear as it was ignored: https://t.co/p1FktLrjit — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Also note the NYT's headline and framing -- as always -- is designed to be as pro-Dem as possible. GOP concerns over FBI (and CIA/NSA) aren't solely or predominantly about investigations of Trump, but constant interference in US domestic politics, including Big Tech censorship. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The NYT finally takes note of one of the major changes in US politics: concerns about the CIA, NSA and FBI now come from the populist right -- which wants another Church Commission -- while the mainstream liberal-left holds these agencies in high esteem: https://t.co/gHW2DA4Vtf https://t.co/r4fzFgk0YG — PolitiTweet.org

CNN exec 1: "Let's hire Kinzinger: he's one of the good Republicans who says Trump is an Orange Hitler." Exec 2: "But we already hired 1,000 others exactly like this and nobody watches." Exec 1: Maybe this time it will work? 🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's so funny when these liberal outlets know they have to hire "Republicans" to maintain the facade of being a news outlet, but then only hire the ones who agree with liberals on every key issue and won't ever alienate or even challenge anyone in their audience. — PolitiTweet.org
