A typically strong day (if a rather critical one!) at the Bulwark: On Germany's mistake in delaying tanks for Ukraine, on Biden's mistake in denying reality in his documents defense, on House Republicans' mistake in reviving the Holman Rule...and more. https://t.co/tmJxfCA3Vc — PolitiTweet.org

"The correct defense of Biden is that his infraction is different from Trump’s...Biden needs to stop pretending there’s nothing there. He needs to speak frankly about what is there." https://t.co/6C4ghiclII — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"They've chosen a message that's supposed to clarify Biden's innocence: 'There's no "there" there.'...[But] that defense doesn’t distinguish him from Trump. It makes the two cases look alike. It positions Biden, like Trump, as a denier of obvious reality." https://t.co/6C4ghiclII — PolitiTweet.org

"The Ukrainians aren’t asking for our soldiers to fight their war for them, but they do need our weapons systems to win. That’s the least we can provide them. Faster, please." https://t.co/qmrp7Q5wzT — PolitiTweet.org

58 years ago: death of Churchill. "The tyrant stood at the pinnacle of his power. The contrast between the indomitable and magnanimous statesman and the insane tyrant--this spectacle in its clear simplicity was one of the greatest lessons which men can learn..." -- Leo Strauss — PolitiTweet.org

“If Russia finally captures Ukraine by mass murder, torture, and nuclear threats, then everything the world has gained since the defeat of the Axis in 1945 and the end of the Cold War in 1991 will be in mortal peril.” https://t.co/IOYXyZacc5 — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

“At this point, the fight in Ukraine is not about borders or flags but about what kind of world we’ve built over the past century, and whether that world can sustain itself in the face of limitless brutality.” https://t.co/IOYXyZacc5 — PolitiTweet.org

"Thus the importance of Keynes’s admonition: 'But beware! The time for all this is not yet.' The time to celebrate a turning point toward freedom and liberal democracy is not yet. A true Zeitenwende remains very possible, but it has not quite arrived." https://t.co/EdEnepvWuI — PolitiTweet.org

Just recorded a wide-ranging conversation with @FukuyamaFrancis. We focused on Ukraine, which Frank has followed very closely. But our conversation moved beyond Ukraine to politics in Europe, Asia, and for that matter the U.S. Up tomorrow afternoon at https://t.co/XE7uRA3mzN. — PolitiTweet.org

"In a sane world, five House Republicans would say now--to remove the threat of a dangerous showdown ahead of time--that they won't support adding Holman Rule riders to must-pass appropriations and debt ceiling bills. Don't hold your breath." https://t.co/uajULbGZAW — PolitiTweet.org

"There are reasonable people in the House Republican Conference, but as long as they continue to acquiesce to a leadership that is dominated by the extreme fringe of their party, they can’t do anyone any good." https://t.co/uajULbGZAW — PolitiTweet.org

"The Holman Rule passed as part of the rules package after McCarthy became speaker...In 2017, a handful of moderates and experienced Republican leaders tried to prevent the return of the Holman Rule. Sadly, no one in today’s House GOP conference was willing to take that stand." — PolitiTweet.org
