@joehagansays It is much better than even “Curbed.” I love the way he rhymes “adventures” and “counterfeit debentures.” — PolitiTweet.org

@rickhasen The sight of the cadaverous Speaker John McCormack as next in line to LBJ from 1963-65 spurted approval of the 25th amendment in 1967. McCormack, by the way, was significantly younger than Biden, Pelosi or McConnell. — PolitiTweet.org

@vicharmonnyc @Sen_JoeManchin But these obstacles to democracy were all there on Inauguration Day. Too many Democrats seem surprised at the difficult realities of a 50-50 Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Many of the doldrums are due to forces beyond Biden's control. But the level of Democratic disappointment, as reflected in the polls, is so out-of-whack with reality that it's both infuriating and self-defeating. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrendanNyhan @julia_azari Isn’t the real test what GOP leaders say about Trump in the months before the midterms? Right now, there is no particular need for Republicans to echo Christie as he peddles his book. It may be different next September. — PolitiTweet.org

@rmlef I'm not a legal expert, nor do I play one on TV. But I do suspect that indicting people based on "what is in the newspapers" may not a standard judicial model. — PolitiTweet.org

This question is ludicrously early. But any answer requires knowing whether there would be a Democratic nomination race in 2024. If not, Democratic-leaning independents in NH could well reward Liz Cheney for her courage in battling Trump. After NH...well... — PolitiTweet.org

@johnastoehr It's a powerful argument -- and I so respect Vonnegut on war. Also, the folly of World War I is stunning in its epic and mostly pointless carnage. Sorry that I didn't have a link when I originally tweeted this out. — PolitiTweet.org

In his Editorial Board newsletter, @johnastoehr makes a powerful argument why Nov. 11 should return to its origins as Armistice Day. Quoting Kurt Vonnegut, Stoehr writes that the silence from the WW1 Armistice was heard as the "Voice of God" after the horrible carnage of war. — PolitiTweet.org

@TimothyNoah1 @sewellchan I can see the question on all official forms, "What age do you identify with?" Personally, every week, Jack Benny's stubborn claim to be 39 gets funnier and funnier. Somehow I didn't understand the joke in the late 1950s. — PolitiTweet.org
