Overturning abortion rights after nearly half a century would be the exercise of raw political power, showing that judges act as policy handmaidens, not stewards of the Const. This would be results-oriented judging — “fixing” — of the most blatant kind. https://t.co/iPUHYQiKMQ — PolitiTweet.org

The upshot here is that average voters likely will perceive Biden and the Democrats as tax-cutters. When Republicans accuse Biden of being a tax-raiser, the tens of millions receiving the tax credit might well scratch their heads. https://t.co/z2naTLxnX3 — PolitiTweet.org

It sends a monthly reminder to families of the Ds’ largesse. Should Republicans refuse to approve the provision of the infrastructure bill to extend the credit for four years, they will effectively be taking the money out of families’ monthly budgets. https://t.co/z2naTLxnX3 — PolitiTweet.org

could not agree more- much of the coverage is hysterical, contributes to both sides' feeling of peril and of national anxiety. it's all about clicks and eyeballs but it's destructive — PolitiTweet.org

Love this: "If she cannot bring Kavanaugh around to her side, she might as well show the rest of us the cynicism at the heart of his jurisprudence." Don't recall a justice this juvenile, petulant as Kavanaugh. https://t.co/2lGMBPAZdC via @slate — PolitiTweet.org

One hope that we are finally seeing an end to the media’s false equivalence between, on one hand, a legitimate political party seeking to advance policies and, on the other, an anti-democratic cult. Perhaps Cheney can keep them on the straight and narrow. https://t.co/ZgGcDaPOlT — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

In an odd way, Cheney is pushing the mainstream media to be more aggressive and more honest about the nature of the GOP. It would be a disservice to voters if the media’s renewed recognition that the GOP is not a normal party turns out to be fleeting. https://t.co/ZgGcDaPOlT — PolitiTweet.org

for example, a targeted attack on a source of rocket fire that attempts to avoid but inadvertently kills civilians may not be a war crime but targeting a press building even when casualties avoided can be if not legit. target — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

To clarify WH press room question: The number of civilian casualties does NOT makes something a war crime. The law of war looks at actions not the outcome. It looks at intent (what targets selected), the much misunderstood issue of proportionality and efforts to avoid civilians — PolitiTweet.org

@MaraLiasson asks smartest questions - teasing out that we alone cannot end the Israeli-Hamas conflict on our own (at least not now) and @POTUS is intentionally not talking *publicly* about proportionate/disproportionate use of force — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

@PressSec - exactly right: demanding people not wearing masks is wrongheaded and unhelpful. Some people are immune compromised, others have such people in their family, others worried about the 5% chance. OTHERS wearing masks should be no concern for anyone else. — PolitiTweet.org
