A glorious obit of Walter Dellinger by @Profepps. He talks about their "mutual recognition that underneath the solemnity of law and the savagery of politics, the whole tragic spectacle was also, at some level, an enormous joke played by a creator." https://t.co/XDktUHu6Av — PolitiTweet.org

From my @newrepublic piece: "Putin’s disinformation campaign echoes the Nazis’ fabrication of an ersatz Polish attack on a German border radio station to justify their September 1, 1939, invasion." https://t.co/FVuQ6FTQyB — PolitiTweet.org

@helaineolen I really recommend it. And mentally it can be twinned with “Remains of the Day” and the idea of service. — PolitiTweet.org

@helaineolen I read “Klara and the Sun” last summer and it still pops up in my thoughts almost daily. — PolitiTweet.org

@k8croy @newrepublic That’s a terrific anecdote. — PolitiTweet.org

Another bit from my @newrepublic piece on Ukraine: "The truth is that Biden has adroitly played a weak hand well, but there is a limit to how much you can pull off when your best card is a seven of clubs." https://t.co/FVuQ6FTQyB — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
My @newrepublic piece: "If Russia invades, it is easy to imagine the wave of amnesia that will afflict Fox News Republicans. Within hours, the new rightwing mantra will likely become 'Who lost Ukraine? It’s Joe Biden.'" That would be grotesquely wrong. https://t.co/FVuQ6FTQyB — PolitiTweet.org

@NormOrnstein Saw it with an intermission in a movie palace near Times Square, which was the only theater in New York where it was playing. For all its outlandish and dated sequences, the movie is infinitely superior to the current preachy series on PBS. — PolitiTweet.org

Since there still won't be major league baseball by June 12, I assume the risk of damage to the field is minimal. — PolitiTweet.org

@sloaneellen Thanks for this. There was also “shale” as a possibility. — PolitiTweet.org

@TimothyNoah1 Wrong. There is an entire contingent on Twitter that believes that anyone who disagrees with them deserves a rapid death. — PolitiTweet.org

@amandabee @mseyfang I apologize for not thinking about time zones. I won't make this mistake again. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@mseyfang Well, yes, but I was clever enough to make my lament universal rather than personal. Or, at least, I thought I was clever enough. — PolitiTweet.org

@myers_mel @nytimes Couldn't make the 280 characters fit. Enough people from the Times see my tweets so I'll take my chances. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm posting this complaint about today's Wordle because it's 11:00 and maybe someone from the Times will notice. I filled in letters 1-2-3-5 on Wordle on my 2nd turn. There are 6 valid English words that are created by different 4th letters. How it is a game to guess that letter? — PolitiTweet.org

I guess after the SF recall vote that my crusade to rename the Lincoln Memorial is on hold. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
This is such an important point. We also don't have any idea which candidates are frugal with their consultants and which are being ripped off. There is also a finite level where torrents of money cease to be useful in a major race (see Harrison, Jaime). — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's Ukraine legacy via an on-target @JillDLawrence: "Now, more Americans might recognize why Ukraine needed military aid in 2019 and why it was so tawdry (not to mention illegal) to...try to extort a foreign leader for domestic political ammunition." https://t.co/Vk6WcQhTFQ — PolitiTweet.org

@ed_kilgore Sleek modern guys often use fusty words. So don’t get honked off at my reaction to your word choice. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ed_kilgore Don’t like “pissed off” either though “honked off” seems fusty and non-colloquial. What’s wrong with “enraged”? It’s shorter. — PolitiTweet.org

@William_Voegeli I'm more of a "teammeat" guy. — PolitiTweet.org

The ghastly word "metamate" alone is reason enough to permanently ban Facebook. — PolitiTweet.org

Hoe much do you think the artist formerly known as Facebook paid to the consulting firm to come up with metamate? https://t.co/byojYt1SAD

@MichaelMcGough3 It shouldn't have been that much of a shock since Trollope's Plantagenet Palliser was pumping for decimal coinage in the 1870s. — PolitiTweet.org

From my column: "If Putin were to invade, Republican talking points would angrily blame the supposed weakness of Joe Biden. That would be nonsense unless the GOP believes that Donald Trump, that Putin sycophant, would have sent American troops to Ukraine to thwart an invasion." — PolitiTweet.org
