This statement doesn't deny that Justice Gorsuch had been made aware that Justice Sotomayor would feel unable to attend if he didn't wear a mask. Gorsuch nonetheless chose not to. But now that all's clear, Gorsuch can prove himself a warm colleague and friend. How? Put on a mask. — PolitiTweet.org

Just recorded a very interesting conversation (I think!) with the redoubtable @jonkarl, on the history of Trump's lies about the election and his attempt to overturn it, and on why all of this mattered--and matters still. Should be up Thursday afternoon at https://t.co/XE7uRA2OKf — PolitiTweet.org

"Maybe we’ll get lucky and Putin won’t decide to invade (this time). That would count as a win. Except the Russians have also...discovered they can go at least this far. Next time they can try for more, as the Chinese and everyone else watch and learn." https://t.co/a904eFHZMV — PolitiTweet.org

"If Republican officials and their voters are willing to swallow an enormous and highly consequential untruth for political gain...they [are] actually setting up even worse possibilities than what we’ve lived through so far." https://t.co/AqCdY3B7Wa — PolitiTweet.org

If I had a colleague with reason for caution and another who nonetheless refused to wear a mask, I'd tell him to get a mask or I'd go to zoom in solidarity with a colleague whose wishes were being ignored. In other words: Let Justice Gorsuch sit on the bench, unmasked and alone. — PolitiTweet.org

“The people at the ReAwaken America Tour are fellow travelers with Trump when he is useful, but the mix of Christian nationalist with COVID deniers and other conspiracy theorists could have any figurehead…Flynn did not bother going to Trump’s rally.” https://t.co/5mEoHF9ise — PolitiTweet.org

“If state and federal law enforcement authorities convene grand juries to investigate the low-level GOP officials who signed and submitted phony electoral certificates in the 2020 election,the entire conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election could unravel.” https://t.co/TZ1d8qMu5X — PolitiTweet.org

“Is it too much to hope that the simple act of investigating a mundane fraudulent act could lead to widespread accountability? Let’s find out. All it will take is for the DOJ to begin an investigation and then follow the facts upward as far as they go.” https://t.co/TZ1d8qMu5X — PolitiTweet.org

“The Electoral Count Act of 1887 is a ticking bomb. Now that its vulnerabilities have been exposed it is only a matter of time before someone uses it to overturn an election…Even an unsuccessful attempt would be disastrous. Reform is a matter of urgency.” https://t.co/96zttw5kqi — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

“There is far less incentive to create a crisis when you know you won’t be able to manipulate it to your advantage. Properly crafted, an Electoral Count Act of 2022 wouldn’t just deliver us from evil, it would also lead us not into temptation.” https://t.co/96zttw5kqi — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

“Allowing politicians to replace lawful election results with political decisions is democratic blasphemy and contrary to our conception of the rule of law. This means that the Electoral Count Act of 2022 ought to look much different from the Act of 1887.” https://t.co/96zttw5kqi — PolitiTweet.org

2022 division of labor: Biden governs competently, Congress chalks up some modest achievements, and Democratic candidates speak to swing voters. Then we at @AccountableGOP (and allies) hold today's Republicans accountable for their craziness, extremism, and un-Americanism. Deal? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

Excellent advice from @SarahLongwell25 for the Biden Administration and Democratic elected officials, candidates, and advisers. A realistic look at the challenges they face, and a practical strategy to go on offense. Must-read. https://t.co/O5HTVGhWU0 — PolitiTweet.org

"Swing voters loathed Donald Trump, but they liked the check Republicans could provide against Democratic ambitions and policies, especially the ones they really hated—such as defunding the police, big spending, and closing schools for COVID." https://t.co/O5HTVGhWU0 — PolitiTweet.org

Whoa! Joaquin Andujar! ⚾️⚾️⚾️ I used to apply his wisdom about baseball to politics, especially when I wanted to avoid a demand I make a prediction (I actually should have used the Andujar dodge more often!): “You can sum up the game of baseball in one word: 'You never know.'” — PolitiTweet.org

DeSantis touted Florida's 2020 election as “the gold standard...The way Florida did it inspired confidence...That’s how elections should be run.” But now he wants a special police force reporting to him to monitor future elections. What could go wrong? https://t.co/7EImxR089C — PolitiTweet.org

"His endorsement remains one of the most coveted prizes in Republican primaries. His political apparatus has now amassed more than $100 million in cash...And Trump's once-dysfunctional operation...has become noticeably more organized." https://t.co/z3z8J9ReI1 — PolitiTweet.org

"This could be a defining moment of Biden’s presidency. But this is more than one man’s legacy. If Biden becomes the third president in a row to downplay and ignore the Russian threat, then the world will assume the era of American resolve is over." https://t.co/d9ZtHLjUF8 — PolitiTweet.org
