NASA reveals 1,600-foot asteroid will make close approach today. The giant space rock is predicted to be up to 1,608 feet wide. No need to panic though as Asteroid 388945 (2008 TZ3) should pass us from a distance of about 3.5 million miles at 18,000 mph at 5:18 pm ET.   — PolitiTweet.org

“The Anti-Defamation League called on Fox News to fire Carlson after the host explicitly defended replacement theory on air last year. Fox executives rejected the call.” After Buffalo, Fox News should reconsider. But it won’t. Dollars trump blood. https://t.co/0dZJ0B9Soe — PolitiTweet.org

The claim “I’m pro-choice but anti-Roe” can’t be taken at face value. Being pro-choice means you’d vote as a lawmaker to leave the decision to the woman. That means you can’t believe saving the fetus trumps shielding the woman’s bodily integrity & liberty. But that points to Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly true. #TuckerCarlsonHasBloodOnHisHands. I’m not for prosecuting him, but he deserves to have #BuffaloTerrorist nightmares every night for the rest of his awful life — PolitiTweet.org

No basis? I disagree. Federal hate crime statute should’ve put this creep on FBI radar. Why is #ChrisWray still #FBIDirector? — PolitiTweet.org

“Democracy rests on the idea that all citizens have equal standing when it comes to representation and political decision-making. But equal standing is eroded when the state can effectively seize your person for its own ends — forcing you to give birth.” https://t.co/rrRbhAoBe3 — PolitiTweet.org

The end of Roe might seem a victory for democracy against judgeocracy — if Americans lived with fair and representative institutions. But they don’t. And even if they did, there’s more to democracy than just voting or the process of making a law. https://t.co/BfBf7KhlUD — PolitiTweet.org

“The state would need to treat the womb as a potential crime scene, with anything other than a healthy birth as evidence of a possible crime. A miscarriage or stillbirth would have to invite the same scrutiny as an abortion.” I argued this in 1973 https://t.co/pMb2CVMflu — PolitiTweet.org

Akhil Amar is a friend much of whose writing I admire, but in instances like this one I just can't fathom how he makes what seem to me the huge mistakes that mar his legal analysis. When I write about the Court's ultimate opinion in Dobbs, I'll grapple with the Amar puzzle . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Every day would be a good day for everyone with any influence to condemn these racist ideologies that inspire the kinds of hate-driven murder we just witnessed in Buffalo. Staying silent in the face of White Nationalist garbage is almost as bad as mouthing it yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

When any of you, my 1.28 million Twitter followers, ask me what you can do to help save freedom and democracy from fascism and despotism, I say: Focus on the midterm elections; vote only for candidates committed to free and fair voting, reproductive liberty, and sexual privacy! — PolitiTweet.org

Feeling guilty? Well, don’t: “There is nothing ‘unnatural’ or strange about being fascinated by dark material. We are primed to pay more attention to negative events and outcomes than to positive ones, for reasons both psychological and biological.” Whew! https://t.co/f9Vwr2JjNH — PolitiTweet.org

This op-ed is highly misleading! It says the report recently authored by our Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court has acknowledged potential benefits in what it called a “rotation proposal” but omits our discussion of its huge downsides. https://t.co/gOUb9G5Uw3 — PolitiTweet.org

Medication abortion is safe and effective & there’s mounting evidence that tight restrictions on dispersal of the pills aren’t needed. But there’s no way meds can do it all. Bans on surgical abortion will injure many women, kill others. Hardly pro-life! https://t.co/G62IaCgQcK — PolitiTweet.org

Lamenting the leak of Alito’s draft erasing Roe, Thomas said “We actually trusted each other. We may have been a dysfunctional family, but we were a family.” Hmm. Poor baby. I’m lamenting how the Fire-breathing Five are poised to force women to make kids. https://t.co/dGstrOnZtG — PolitiTweet.org

A partial eclipse will begin at 10:27 p.m. ET Sunday, with the total lunar eclipse starting at 11:29 p.m. ET, according to EarthSky. The total eclipse will end at 12:53 a.m. ET Monday, and the partial eclipse will end at 1:55 a.m. ET Monday, the site said. https://t.co/k5LRICXUli — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t share @DavidLat’s speculation about the source of the leaked Alito draft nor do I agree with his imaginary justification but I think it’s a fascinating effort and well worth reading. Food for thought: https://t.co/MGxOheG0tw — PolitiTweet.org

“In the fictional theocracy of Gilead, women had very few rights, as in 17th-century New England.” Judging from his leaked draft opinion, Justice Alito would have been very much at home in Gilead. https://t.co/Wpd0HiQ4c9 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been thinking that Roberts may be looking for a way to get Kavanaugh and/or Barrett to join him and the three liberals in tossing out the viability line but retaining a general “liberty” that would include reproductive matters. This could be the way: https://t.co/OYFVt45Mmb — PolitiTweet.org

In anticipation of the Jan 6 special committee’s public hearings this June, I’d suggest refreshing your recollection of what that day was all about. Imagine how awful it would be for it to happen again. Next time, the insurrectionists might succeed. And if they do . . . — PolitiTweet.org

“Sometimes David’s precisely aimed slingshot can fell Goliath and strike a blow against ‘alternative facts.’ If the sling launching the shot is a complaint for defamation, it helps if it was fashioned by talented pro bono lawyers.” https://t.co/3IzR4ksUsL — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Alito can’t help himself. It’s not that he’s more candid than his tight-lipped colleagues: he’s as deliberately misleading as any of them. It’s just that he has a distinctive mean streak that sadly reflects itself in his substantive constitutional philosophy. — PolitiTweet.org
