“The US is the sole democratic superpower. Its ongoing political transformation has deep implications for liberal democracies everywhere…In 2016, one could ignore these dangers. Today, one must be blind to do so.” https://t.co/mgY60vazT9 — PolitiTweet.org

It would be dramatic if on Thursday afternoon, just before the end of the fiscal year, Schumer brings the CR/debt ceiling bill back up, VP Harris rules the filibuster shouldn't apply to it, and Schumer has 50 votes to sustain the ruling of the chair. — PolitiTweet.org

This was I thought a good conversation with @SykesCharlie. We tried to think through some of the points Bob Kagan raised, I hope in a helpful--if not entirely reassuring--manner. https://t.co/VetIA8h5vV — PolitiTweet.org

"How Alarmed Should We Be?" We should be very alarmed. We can reassure ourselves that American democracy is solid & Trump a 2nd-rate demagogue. But American democracy is less solid than we'd like to think; and a reckless demagogue with a major party in thrall can do real damage. — PolitiTweet.org

“Trump put his chips on the big lie about the election. It’s now pervasive in the party. That’s an impressive show of strength by Trump. It’s clever, because it’s about him—his victory was stolen…The way to avenge that is to renominate and reelect him.” https://t.co/3yF6AqXNUg — PolitiTweet.org

Or if Republicans don’t “allow” Democrats to suspend the debt limit on their own, Democrats could just do it on their own by changing filibuster rules so a debt limit suspension (and a CR, I’d say) can’t be filibustered. No reason they should be allowed to be. — PolitiTweet.org

How can people understand the authoritarian threat "while the Good Republican elites all act as if the real danger to America is cancel culture and radical professors? When most of the Good Republican elites won’t say what they know to be true out loud?" https://t.co/udk3LbKd84 — PolitiTweet.org

There is no reason to require a super-majority to raise the debt limit. Quite the contrary. It's an invitation to irresponsibility and hostage taking. So modify the filibuster for the debt ceiling. Then later for democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

"Perhaps you were under the impression that the political class was comprised of serious people who recognize that we are facing the real prospect of a constitutional crisis. And yet, Congress has chosen this moment to play games of political chicken." https://t.co/uC4wMTQB55 — PolitiTweet.org

"Many arguments trace the roots of Trump in conservatism...It is not that there is no truth to those. The truthful elements pale in comparison to the ways in which Trumpism breaks from the past. They deflect attention from the seriousness of the crisis." https://t.co/NUBSb4CxHQ — PolitiTweet.org

Another formulation of this argument: In the past our political parties have combined impulses to tear down and desires to build up. Politics always combines those. Now in the GOP, the balance is totally skewed. The GOP is now a party of Destruktion. https://t.co/G3lWcpGbyh — PolitiTweet.org

For Putin, chaos is a friend, and key to his strategy. For Trump, chaos is a friend, and key to his strategy. For authoritarians, chaos is a friend, and key to their strategies. "And the obvious lesson for Republicans, then, is that chaos is their friend." https://t.co/G3lWcpGbyh — PolitiTweet.org
