"Whether more 'psychological blows' in Ukraine will significantly damage Putin’s standing is the big question... Even before, two small-scale and doomed but nonetheless remarkable challenges to Putin were reported from within Russian political structures." https://t.co/0sj6MukiLj — PolitiTweet.org

“'We haven’t lost anything. And we’re not going to lose anything,' a defiant Putin asserted Wednesday. Putin’s declaration may not make it on a list of famous last words but it did signal the start of a spectacular rout of Russian armed forces in Ukraine." https://t.co/0sj6MukiLj — PolitiTweet.org

"The possibility of instability in Russia...may now be unavoidable...We should think about the possibilities as well as the dangers. 'We have learned not to be scared,' Reznikov told his Kyiv audience. 'Now we ask the rest of you not to be scared too.'” https://t.co/xkbsTW54kO — PolitiTweet.org

“It is a promise to just keep doing more xenophobia and authoritarianism because to be a leader in the GOP, you have to commit to these nihilistic ideals or some more committed nihilists will bring your promising political career to an end.” https://t.co/BX27Ye2MQY — PolitiTweet.org

“McCarthy’s hope is that throwing some substance (or some substance-like substance) into the discourse might help the GOP retake some midterm momentum. But the agenda itself—which won’t be formally unveiled until September 19—reeks of desperation…” https://t.co/BX27Ye2MQY — PolitiTweet.org

It is remarkable how much today’s Republican Party and conservative eco-system is focused on comforting the comfortable (with a fair amount of afflicting the afflicted thrown in). — PolitiTweet.org

"Defending our democracy is a burden and a challenge. But to be able to do our part—as others have done before us, and as others are doing now, at great risk, elsewhere in the world—is a privilege. It is a privilege of democratic citizenship." https://t.co/YX4NkIbTuO — PolitiTweet.org

"Will we be a country where we can agree to disagree and still respect the rules of the democratic game? Will we be a country whose elected leaders submit themselves to electoral accountability and then respect the results of elections?" https://t.co/YX4NkIbTuO — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Galston: "Usually you end up with a perception that the majority party has moved outside the mainstream...But if the minority party is steaming as fast as it can in the other direction, that tends to turn what should be a layup into a jump ball." https://t.co/WkF5sJGtvG https://t.co/bStkb1AMN5 — PolitiTweet.org

"Today’s autocracies obviously are not united by joint allegiance to any universalist ideology. Rather, they are brought together by a common hostility to liberal democracy. Andrei Kozyrev recently referred to them as the 'Antidemocracy International.'” https://t.co/JdvrU9K4hE — PolitiTweet.org

An important piece by @FukuyamaFrancis not just on why Ukraine will win, but also on why it matters so much in the global contest between democracy and autocracy. https://t.co/oatXchjeHK — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Every generation needs to relearn that the alternatives to liberal democracy lead to violence, repression, and failure. Such a lesson will be driven home if the world sees brave Ukrainians fighting for their country succeed beyond all expectations." https://t.co/oatXchjeHK — PolitiTweet.org

"That shift is already showing up in the Republican advertising mix...'Crime' has become a central message of Republicans, with the word being used in 29% of ads, up from about 12% in July." And...cue menacing 'caravans' showing up on Fox. https://t.co/35dCUyU9rY — PolitiTweet.org

I think of Lincoln in 1855: "Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid." And Lincoln mentions countries "where they make no pretense of loving liberty--Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy." — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

It's unfortunate that this party still bears the historically more-than-respectable name of the Republican Party. At this point, they should just rename it the Know Nothing Party or the America First Party or some such name that pays apt homage to its authoritarian forebears. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the fact that this kind of demagogic rhetoric, in a memo to donors (!) from a sitting GOP senator, sounds kind of...semi-fascist. “Any so-called Republican who aids and abets the enemy is...a traitor to our cause." https://t.co/35dCUyU9rY — PolitiTweet.org
