Can Biden persuade some Trump voters? "'I don’t consider Trump supporters a threat to the country. I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, refuses to acknowledge an election...that is a threat to democracy.' That's a great place to start." https://t.co/gdVD4MB1aS — PolitiTweet.org

A very useful and comprehensive survey of the extent to election denialism among Republicans running for office this fall. Some will win. But it makes a big difference for 2024 which of them (candidates for governor or "merely" for the House) and how many. https://t.co/tl8tmczQXj — PolitiTweet.org

Sep. 3: Trump praises Xi for ruling China with an iron fist. Sep. 5: Trump endorses Geoff Diehl, MA governor candidate: “He’ll rule your state with an iron fist, and he’ll do what has to be done.” So: Pro-rule with an iron fist, abroad...and at home. Nothing semi-fascist here. — PolitiTweet.org

His father has a traditional if simple-minded and authoritarian-inflected admiration for what he imagines old-fashioned military types to be. But Don Jr. embodies the vigilante spirit of advanced Trumpism: A semi-fascist embrace of para-militaries, and hostility to the military. — PolitiTweet.org

All the legal back-and-forth that will follow Judge Cannon's bad ruling shouldn't obscure these unchallenged facts: Trump took classified documents when he shouldn't have. Trump kept classified docs after being asked for them back. Trump obstructed the effort to get them back. — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Cannon's decision seems bad law and bad precedent. DOJ would normally appeal. But if DOJ thinks it can live with the special master set-up and it won't cause too much delay, DOJ could choose not to appeal, judging that might better serve the rule of law broadly understood. — PolitiTweet.org

"Still, plenty of what [Biden] said was objectionable to 'conservatives,' not because he hadn’t removed the beam from his own eye, or because he was being 'polarizing,' but because much of what he said was true." https://t.co/bbnxl3LChR — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic piece by Matt Labash. "If my fellow 'conservatives,' a term I can now only use in scare quotes in good conscience, refuse to acknowledge the realities biting them in the ass every day, that’s on them. Not on me." https://t.co/LOJ5yXdNvd — PolitiTweet.org
