"This literature goes on, and its conclusions are not ambiguous—when the U.S. gets an influx of foreign researchers, U.S. innovation goes up. This is one of a number of reasons why I’m always calling for the U.S. to increase its high-skilled immigration." https://t.co/iDNlf4Ayew — PolitiTweet.org

"The goal of governing is passing legislation. To pass legislation you need votes. The protest warriors who think they’re helping the Democratic agenda by harassing Manchin—or following Sinema into a bathroom—aren’t adding votes. They’re subtracting them." https://t.co/RpwLC4WBWe — PolitiTweet.org

"American society has grown out of that classic Christmas canon, even if we still feel nostalgic for it. (Keeping in mind that many of those songs were themselves about nostalgia, and that implies that we are to some extent nostalgic about…nostalgia.)" https://t.co/qAZsUn1h8D — PolitiTweet.org

"So the guardrails of liberal democracy and civic sanity are not stronger than they were a year ago. We did prevent the destruction of those guardrails...But we haven’t succeeded in repairing or rebuilding them. Or to construct new ones." https://t.co/kzY0zAuPzO — PolitiTweet.org

"The anti-democratic forces seem stronger at the end of 2021 than they were at the beginning...As for sanity: The strength of the anti-vaccination movement says it all. As does the unwillingness of the vaccinated conservatives to confront that movement." https://t.co/kzY0zAuPzO — PolitiTweet.org

NEW, from me: "We might have hoped that Nov. 3, 2020 might be our D-Day: a decisive moment...But it turns out that Nov. 3, 2020, was more like Dunkirk—an escape...that allows us to regroup and gather our forces for a longer fight." https://t.co/kzY0zAuPzO — PolitiTweet.org

This is a must read thread on where we stand on Omicron. It’s good news and bad news—my reading tilts a bit toward the bad news side. But read it all, carefully, yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

Political leaders who engage in this kind of harassment, intimidation, defamation, and incitement--and those who passively go along and refuse to denounce it--should be held accountable. https://t.co/WLTV0tOJiM — PolitiTweet.org

This is a massive pressure campaign to bully and intimidate election officials across the nation. Pressure has to be met with pressure. Are there not means of civil and criminal redress against a conspiracy to undermine free and fair elections in the U.S.? https://t.co/WLTV0tOJiM — PolitiTweet.org

"I would have ruthless, aggressive, and disciplined messaging. I would get out front of this crime thing pronto, like now. Why is there not an FBI strike force dispatched to California to deal with this smash-and-grab stuff?" -- James Carville https://t.co/QIDzQv3Ctd — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know if this proposal by @AJentleson would work. But it would be good if it spurs the Biden Administration to act a bit more in the spirit of FDR & LBJ--more horse-trading and pot-sweetening and arm-twisting, less finger-wagging and exhorting. https://t.co/32G12U1Bdr — PolitiTweet.org

We tend to throw around the term "heroes" too easily these days. But Sharansky and Sakharov were true heroes. https://t.co/ukO4bGQSjd — PolitiTweet.org

"Here’s an unusually clear and perfect object lesson in how systems fail. The answer is: The bad guys break the system. When the bad guys win, it’s always because they are enabled by the weakness and wishful thinking of people in a position to stop them." https://t.co/cuCJsGw96R — PolitiTweet.org

"The president of the United States and his subordinates took actions which directly contributed to the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans...The leadership was corrupt. The institutions were unable to check the corruption." https://t.co/Y98UT9aTO0 — PolitiTweet.org

“Not long after Alfred Dreyfus was arrested in 1894, the notorious French writer and editor Édouard Drumont, ‘the pope of antisemitism,’ [remarked]…’Dreyfus did what Judas did, what Deutz did.’ Who, most of us would ask, was Deutz, and what did he do?” https://t.co/qF2dr4ryrS — PolitiTweet.org

80 years ago today: After a ten-day trip across the Atlantic, the battleship Duke of York, with Winston Churchill aboard, arrives at Hampton Roads, VA. Churchill then flies to Washington, where he begins a three-week stay at the White House. https://t.co/V5tqfisZaE https://t.co/OULJtS8qg7 — PolitiTweet.org
