It's hard to feel sorry for big corporations, but they aren't the real victims here. The Ukrainification of corporate America is yet another front in the assault on democracy 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

And does anyone really believe that it's just trade policy? Amazon may not be able to prove that it was denied a Pentagon contract because Trump hates the Washington Post, but does anyone really believe that the process was squeaky clean? 5/ https://t.co/AXVdgGCssX — PolitiTweet.org

If you don't think political support for Trump is crucial for getting tariff relief, I have a degree from Trump University you might want to buy. In fact, Chad Bown, the go-to guy on the trade war, warned about this months ago 4/ https://t.co/fjhFZXZkNY https://t.co/ZPJvAvzCk8 — PolitiTweet.org

Why the acquiescence? Trump's tariffs aren't being applied uniformly; there have been many "exclusions" based purely on the administration's judgment. Apple wants some of those 3/ https://t.co/4pT7VRE5bS — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Even as the impeachment hearings were going on, Trump made a bizarre appearance at an Apple plant, making a series of false claims about both Apple and his own policies. And Tim Cook just stood by silently 2/ https://t.co/IzqaWYDc3W — PolitiTweet.org

The Ukraine story is one of extortion and bribery: Trump threatened a vulnerable nation by withholding aid, using the threat to extract help against his domestic rivals. What's not being widely noted is that the same thing is happening to U.S. corporations 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

I wish I believed that the impeachment hearings will have a decisive electoral effect. But what I'm seeing in the polls is that they may be moving the needle, but only slightly. https://t.co/PvZl7tfHsn — PolitiTweet.org

One side lesson from this inquiry is that the Deep State contains some really impressive, principled people. Which is why Trump hates it so much. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

That isn't a question either, since we know the answer. The real question is whether the republic can survive GOP corruption — PolitiTweet.org

For example, remember Dave Brat, Tea Party guy whose 2014 primary victory was a prelude to Trumpism, but who narrowly lost last year? What's he doing now? He's dean of the business school at Falwell's Liberty University 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Yes, that's my point. Anyone puzzled why Rs who are retiring still won't turn on Trump is being naive about what former Congresscritters, especially on the right, do for a living 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

A key point about Sondland: he's independently wealthy. He doesn't need wingnut welfare (gig at Fox, think tank, whatever). He can live comfortably unless he goes to jail. So his incentives very different from many others in this story. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

I haven't seen anyone mention that when GW Bush came to the WH, his people claimed that departing Clinton staff vandalized the place — and the press bought it. It turned out that while there were a few missing keyboards and so on, the story was vastly exaggerated. — PolitiTweet.org

After all, Republicans have a 100% consistent record of blowing up the budget deficit whenever they hold power. Yet they still get away with pretending to be fiscally responsible. No reason to think their betrayal of America will play any differently 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Given what's going down in these hearings, Republicans should be permanently disbarred from claiming to be patriots, let alone more patriotic than Democrats. Too bad we know that it won't happen 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
