Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly defended Jim Mattis over Mattis’s criticism of the president’s handling of nationwide protests. Kelly also dismissed Trump’s assertion that the president fired Mattis in an interview with ⁦@jdawsey1⁩. https://t.co/DkmCxjjwBG — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN KELLY defends Jim Mattis: “The president has clearly forgotten how it actually happened or is confused. The president tweeted a very positive tweet about Jim until he started to see on Fox News their interpretation of his letter. Then he got nasty.” https://t.co/DkmCxjjwBG — PolitiTweet.org

That's how it's always worked. But the staff revolt over Cotton's op-ed puts in stark relief the growing tensions over the proper role of the Gray Lady & the Fourth Estate in America circa 2020. The Pentagon and police departments face comparable crises. https://t.co/ECrmf6QdEc — PolitiTweet.org

Editorial pages are distinct from newsrooms. They're marketplaces of ideas where people from across the ideological spectrum place markets. Serious newspapers run wide ranges of perspectives, including op-eds that make people who work for them uncomfortable. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Thread: NYT faces an insurrection over Tom Cotton's op-ed about the Insurrection Act. It’s striking to see the rank-and-file challenge management in this way, but it also raises questions about a trend toward advocacy inside elite MSM newsrooms that so troubles traditionalists. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Esper has sent a memo to DOD personnel this week emphasizing the need for them all to stay out of politics. “I ask that you remember at all times our commitment as a department and as public servants to stay apolitical in these turbulent days,” the secretary wrote. — PolitiTweet.org

“We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square,” said former Trump Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, retired four-star general. “We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution." — PolitiTweet.org

“We all bear the scars of history, of oppressors and the oppressed,” said Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel, the chief of the National Guard. "We cannot tolerate racism, discrimination or casual violence. We cannot abide divisiveness and hate. We cannot stand by and watch.” — PolitiTweet.org

America is a nation of laws – but also norms. It’s a republic that’s thrived because of institutions, but those are ultimately only as strong as the people who lead them. This crisis has put that in especially stark relief. — PolitiTweet.org

The events of the past week have deepened and exposed rifts between those who serve in uniform and their commander in chief, as well as between the police and those they have sworn to protect. They’re also raising questions about the role of the free press in American society. — PolitiTweet.org

The killing of George Floyd in police custody, the protests that followed and the ensuing crackdown have combined to generate a heated national conversation about those values “embedded” in the Constitution and, as Milley puts it, “the idea that is America.” — PolitiTweet.org

Thread: After joining Trump's photo op & patrolling DC streets in combat fatigues, Mark Milley sent a handwritten note to service chiefs: “We all committed our lives to the idea that is America – we will stay true to that oath and the American people.” https://t.co/ECrmf6QdEc — PolitiTweet.org
