At New Twitter, it's company policy that violent incitement by a serving US president against a vulnerable named individual is an acceptable price of free speech-but even the most minuscule chance of even the most hypothetical risk against the owner's safety is a risk too many. — PolitiTweet.org

At New Twitter, the right to publish the identity of a legally protected whistleblower is precious free speech; but posting the publicly available location of the owner’s plane is prohibited doxxing. — PolitiTweet.org

"Time will tell, if they [the Republicans] can really run the Government. Any jackass can kick a barn door down, but it takes a carpenter to build it back." - Sam Rayburn, longest-serving Speaker of the House in US history, TIME magazine, January 12, 1953 https://t.co/cYLERcWDMD — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

There's speculation that Democrats might somehow save McCarthy from his predicament: stay away from the vote in sufficient numbers if McCarthy promises to govern responsibly. But if McCarthy lacks the clout to keep his promises, it's futile to agree to deals he cannot honor. — PolitiTweet.org

"Thanks for the call Kevin. Can you send somebody to the meeting who *does* speak for your caucus? No offense, but this meeting is for principals only." — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

@harrispolitico If McCarthy does ever reach the Speakership, why should President Biden or Majority Leader Schumer ever negotiate with him? If you cannot deliver, you cannot negotiate - and it's been proclaimed to the planet that McCarthy cannot deliver. — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

@harrispolitico And "McCarthy had given so many concessions to his party’s Freedom Caucus as to guarantee that the speakership is one-step above a symbolic post, with little ability to set an agenda or exert leverage on anyone to promote it." https://t.co/MhjZULN0L9 — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

This is devastating by @harrispolitico I won't quote too much, because you should read it in full, but ... "For the holdouts, McCarthy had neither things they want nor things they fear." https://t.co/MhjZULN0L9 — PolitiTweet.org

The core of this Speaker election: MAGA Republicans got stomped in 2018, 2020, 2021, and again in 2022 - but they refuse to acknowledge their defeats and instead use their power within the party to enforce their brand of kamikaze politics on their less suicidal colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org
