"This wasn’t 'responsible' people trying to nudge things in the right direction in private. It was a case where one posse of clowns was so insane they were giving away the game. While the 'responsible' clowns did everything to keep the madman in power." https://t.co/Lr4PaCD94y — PolitiTweet.org

"This is, in fact, the oldest Senate in U.S. history. The Post reports: Twenty-three members of the Senate are in their 70s; only one is under 40...The average age of senators at the beginning of this year was 64.3 years — the oldest in history." https://t.co/fBCpLQGTmw — PolitiTweet.org

Pathetic. Sen. Mike Lee, elected by the people of Utah to serve in a coequal branch of government, to Trump's chief of staff: "Please give me something to work with. I just need to know what I should be saying...Please tell me what I should be saying." https://t.co/ueXAZNEdra — PolitiTweet.org

"Ukraine can win—and by 'win,' he means continue to exist as a sovereign, if permanently besieged, state—only if its allies in Washington and across Europe move with alacrity to sufficiently arm the country. 'We have a very small window of opportunity.'" https://t.co/aL80s8ecez — PolitiTweet.org

Tocqueville warns of "that soft and idle terror that wears hearts down and enervates them." Are we indulging in that? Yes, the midterms look tough. But outcomes aren't fated. If Ukraine can beat Russia, if Zelensky can prevail over Putin, Democrats can defeat Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

"A clearly stated U.S. commitment to vigorously defend Taiwan against efforts to forcibly incorporate it into the PRC... backed up by arms supplies and deployments of allied forces before the fact would...reap the benefits of lessons learned from Ukraine." https://t.co/iYomcGv5hq — PolitiTweet.org

"The Kremlin propaganda machine...has managed to [hit a new low] during the war in Ukraine. There is probably no better (or worse) example than the pregnant Instagram blogger from Mariupol who was caught in the bombing of a maternity hospital." https://t.co/7YQWInt09i — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, Tucker Carlson claiming at an anti-vax megachurch that he never got vaccinated (whether it's true or not) suggests he's planning to run in 2024. It separates him from the other major GOP candidates--he's the only one, the base could conclude, who's not vaguely hypocritical. — PolitiTweet.org

Is Dolan the buried lede in this OH poll? I'm struck that it shows Dolan rising to third place, only two points out of second and six behind Mandel. If a Trump endorsement of Vance or Mandel peels a couple of points off Gibbons (as the poll suggests), Dolan is tied for second. — PolitiTweet.org

"Putin’s Russia is perpetrating an assault on Ukraine: destruction, terror, displacement, maiming, murder, rape. Ukrainians are struggling to hold on to their nationhood, their independence, their freedom, their very life. This is as clear-cut as it gets." https://t.co/C2GU9iAaFT — PolitiTweet.org
