“There are a million reasons that Trump shouldn’t still be standing and that his party should reject him and move on and find a new nominee for 2024. But he has a good chance of winning anyway if he can just clear a few hurdles in the primaries.” https://t.co/EOBf5lxqU6 — PolitiTweet.org

“A reader noted, ‘Sykes has written a piece about fascism that doesn’t use the word fascism.’ The celebration of violence may be a kink for Trump, but it has a long history. The fascists of the 1930s, wrote Arendt, ‘elevated cruelty to a major virtue…’” https://t.co/EOBf5lxqU6 — PolitiTweet.org

I've gotten some things wrong in my life in politics. But one constant about which I have no regrets is that I was anti-Soviet and anti-Soviet apologists when I volunteered for Scoop Jackson in college, and I am anti-Putin and anti-Putin apologists as I try to help Ukraine today. — PolitiTweet.org

In his essay on Dickens, Orwell writes "of a nineteenth-century liberal, a free intelligence, a type hated with equal hatred by all the smelly little orthodoxies which are now contending for our souls.” Can 21st c. liberals defeat our smelly little orthodoxies of right and left? — PolitiTweet.org

"In SD, the state legislature is considering a bill that would ban drag shows at universities...I’m starting to get nostalgic for the GOP culture war targeting safe spaces." The Right has embraced its own political correctness. Anyone here for freedom? https://t.co/dRkf4OsTPJ — PolitiTweet.org

3. Necessary mental and physical health to be president? 28% positive-54% negative. Are the judgments unfair? I think so. Are they likely to improve much by Nov. 2024? I doubt it. Might it be better for Joe Biden to resolve to be a successful one-term president? END — PolitiTweet.org

2. BUT: When asked to rank Biden on certain qualities: He's fine on easygoing and likable (45% positive, 34% negative). But then: Honest and trustworthy? 34% positive, 48% negative. Ability to handle a crisis? 32%-49%. Competent and effective as president? 32%-49%... — PolitiTweet.org

1. The new Hart/POS poll for NBC News is worth scrolling through. Most striking are the judgments of President Biden: Job approval -- 45% approve, 50% disapprove, and feelings toward Biden -- 39% positive, 46% negative, aren't great but are unremarkable. https://t.co/A8ntsO6Gxi — PolitiTweet.org

A note on George Santos: It's tempting to enjoy the spectacle. But we probably shouldn't. If he settles in as a member of Congress, if there's no accountability for his lies and grift and our political and legal institutions seem feckless, fraud is normalized and honesty mocked. — PolitiTweet.org

To my Republican friends and acquaintances who privately have assured me they'll work and spend and organize to stop Trump from being the 2024 GOP nominee: Trump's begun campaigning, and he's pretty good at it. Time to step up efforts to pry away GOP leaders & voters from Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

Coverage I've seen of Trump campaign trip is all 2024 horserace. Jan. 6 not mentioned. Understandable but suggests the price we've paid for no indictments, no trial, no real reckoning for Jan. 6. Trump treated as normal candidate, not a president who tried to subvert an election. https://t.co/k6ZMwUxNt8 — PolitiTweet.org
