Happy to pinch hit for @EliotACohen in this @BulwarkOnline podcast w/ Eric Edelman and @HalBrands. Eric and Hal expertly discussed the history of the Cold War and possible lessons for today. I chimed in occasionally with a few less well-grounded thoughts. https://t.co/izrtmiWK3u — PolitiTweet.org

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤯🤯 When the future of decent and democratic government is at stake, I do come down in favor of not casually giving political weapons to our opponents so they can defeat us. But maybe that's just me... — PolitiTweet.org

"Former WH press secretary Stephanie Grisham told the House select committee that Trump hosted secret meetings in the White House residence in days before 6 January...The select committee’s interview with Grisham...was more significant than expected." https://t.co/HhsXrmGDKS — PolitiTweet.org

@ruthyoest Is anyone as misunderstood as Agatha Christie? The plots are mostly not serious and not meant to be taken seriously (contrary to her popular image of creating clever puzzles). But her craftsmanship when it comes to her fiction--regarding characters and narrators--is impressive. — PolitiTweet.org

"Macron called for EU states to 'conduct their own dialogue' with Russia rather than support diplomatic efforts led by the US & Nato, in sharp contrast to a plea from Blinken for 'unity'...Macron’s intervention...breaks a united front between the EU & US." https://t.co/EkivlFwM3c — PolitiTweet.org

The WH clarifying the president's answers on Ukraine and election legitimacy is the act of a responsible administration concerned about the inadvertent effects of a presidential misstatement or ambiguity. Of course, it would be better not to have to do this in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

I'd prefer that parts of the John Lewis and Freedom to Vote acts had become law. It's important to keep on trying to change bad state voting laws and to resist unfair administration of such laws. But it's also important to say this: The 2022 elections will be free and legitimate. — PolitiTweet.org

"Putin worries if any of these states becomes a successful and prosperous democracy, let alone integrates with the west, the Russian people will demand the same. To forestall that, Putin has tried to ensure [they] are run by strongmen dependent on Russia." https://t.co/h5OA0zWxUg — PolitiTweet.org

The six main strands of the Trump coup attempt, very helpfully laid out by @amandacarpenter: 1. Conspiracy Theories 2. Lawsuits 3. Fake Federal Investigations 4. Whipping Up the Base 5. Fake Electors and Objectors 6. Pressure on State and Local Officials https://t.co/eKgirSnXxD — PolitiTweet.org

"So even if Biden is only partially responsible for the inflation, there are steps he can take. One would be to remove the Trump-imposed tariffs... Another would be more legal immigration...[And] Biden can forthrightly address what’s on voters’ minds." https://t.co/YDyiIiUtlY — PolitiTweet.org

"Trump’s actions to overturn the election were dedicated, intentional & sustained. The notion that Trump & his allies are 'too stupid to coup' is not reassuring. Like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park, shake enough door handles, and eventually one opens." https://t.co/eKgirSnXxD — PolitiTweet.org

“Yes, you were the vice-president to Trump. But wouldn’t you rather live with the knowledge that when it really mattered, you were a catalyst for the rejection of Trump and his movement of divisiveness, hate and violence that has engulfed the country?” https://t.co/DIMkzJNZPT — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

I'm no lawyer, but if Trump can't claim privilege for documents, presumably he can't claim privilege for conversations. And I assume Biden won't stand in the way of officials testifying. The hearings with Pence, Barr, Pompeo, et al, should be interesting. https://t.co/k0bqKrO4an — PolitiTweet.org

Why is President Biden guessing as to what Putin will do? Aren’t we in the business of influencing that decision, not guessing about it? — PolitiTweet.org

I’d never read this amazing 1869 speech, “Our Composite Nationality,” by Frederick Douglass. Thanks to @shikhadalmia for bringing it to my attention—and I hope to the attention of others equally unfamiliar with it. What a speech! What a man! https://t.co/m1mvRI8NcG — PolitiTweet.org

Can Democrats make 2022 not merely a referendum but a choice? Can they make 2022 as much about Republicans’ extremism as Democrats’ mistakes? Could 1998 (!) be a kind of model? “You may not be crazy about some of what the president’s done, but the people attacking him are crazy!” — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

I mean, who hasn't forged electoral certificates to try to steal a state's electoral votes? Can you believe a few Never Trumpers who can't move on from 2020 are trying to make a big deal about that? https://t.co/TZ1d8qMu5X via @BulwarkOnline — PolitiTweet.org

Great to have @saletan on board at @BulwarkOnline. For obvious reasons--the quality of his writing, the sharpness of his analysis, the judiciousness of his judgments. But also because, now that we're colleagues, perhaps he won't taunt me for failing to see "obvious" pangrams? — PolitiTweet.org
