“The truth of these horrors is being confirmed, pixel by pixel. It’s a sweet bit of justice that Western social media, which Putin worked so hard to manipulate, are now dissecting Russia’s denials of responsibility for Bucha and other atrocities.” https://t.co/SgnTxcGjPw — PolitiTweet.org

“Biden on Tuesday approved sending additional Javelin antitank missile systems to Ukraine to aid in its defense against Russia. The $100 million worth of Javelins is the sixth such drawdown of equipment from the Pentagon’s inventories since August.” https://t.co/lFhb94EFKh — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ’s grand jury in DC is seeking info on “any members of the executive & legislative branches who may have taken part in planning or executing the rallies, or tried to ‘obstruct, influence, impede or delay’ the certification of the presidential election.” https://t.co/mb27Gdj3hl — PolitiTweet.org

It was totally obvious from the start: Trump was abusing his power as POTUS to extort an ally (Ukraine) to help an adversary (Russia) & hurt his main reelection rival (Joe Biden) & deserved to be not just impeached but convicted, removed from office and permanently disqualified. — PolitiTweet.org

“Every Republican,” argued Rep. Abigail Spanberger, “should be pressed on whether they will now acknowledge how derelict it was that Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine to pressure Zelensky to carry out his corrupt political bidding.” https://t.co/8xRqiIEYQ3 — PolitiTweet.org

ACB was 52-48, with 1 R (Collins) voting NO and 0 Dems voting YES. KBJ will probably be 53-47, with 0 Ds voting NO and 3 Rs voting YES (Collins, Murkowski, Romney). But who’s keeping score? — PolitiTweet.org

Any such 2-class marriage bill would obviously violate the Equal Protection Clause under the Obergefell precedent. But a majority of today’s far-right SCOTUS might eagerly scrap that precedent, despite the Planned Parenthood v. Casey criteria for stare decisis. — PolitiTweet.org

“Russia’s current account — the broadest measure of trade in goods and services plus investment income — is headed for a record surplus this year, according to the Institute of International Finance.” So we need to squeeze Russia harder. https://t.co/kyfSDaeZw8 — PolitiTweet.org

“Senators Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joined a third Republican, Susan Collins of Maine, in lending their support to Judge Jackson, defying deep resistance in their party to the nominee.” She’ll be confirmed at least 53-47.  Hurray! https://t.co/uDrcw6pB6A — PolitiTweet.org

This fact-checking of @SenTedCruz by his former boss, the great @judgeluttig, would be sobering for anyone with a conscience. Not likely to shame Cruz, of course. The man is utterly shameless. — PolitiTweet.org

"Soliciting help from someone whose favorability polls in the range of Charles Manson’s can hardly help one’s own political standing." The comparison is apt, but Manson's murders are paltry compared with Putin's. https://t.co/6KrhuIHrcV — PolitiTweet.org

Though I don't fully agree, here's an excellent conversation between my exceptional colleague Jeannie Suk Gerson and New Yorker writer Amy Davidson Sorkin, moderated by David Remnick, about what democratic accountability for Donald Trump requires: https://t.co/4VKadkPitN — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed, it does. His face says it all. Putin is the Butcher of Bucha, and Zelensky's reaction attests to the atrocities Russia has committed there. — PolitiTweet.org

“What I, as an outsider to Christianity, have always found most beautiful about it is how strange it is: a worldview built on a foundation of universal sin and insufficiency, an equality that bleeds out of the recognition that we are all broken.” https://t.co/Y7Lnrweku3 — PolitiTweet.org

“What [many miss] is what liberalism actually believes: that there is a collective identity to be found in collective betterment, that making the future more just than the past is a mission as grand as any offered by antiquity.” https://t.co/Y7Lnrweku3 — PolitiTweet.org

“The logic that says Ukraine belongs to Russia now because it belonged to Russia then is close cousin to the logic that defends the social hierarchies of today on the basis of their power in the past.” https://t.co/Y7Lnrweku3 — PolitiTweet.org

Every Russian soldier who committed atrocities in Ukraine is responsible and must be prosecuted. But so must every officer in the chain of command up to and including the War Criminal in Chief, Vladimir Putin, just as Adolf Hitler would have been at Nuremberg. — PolitiTweet.org

“Ukraine’s refusal to bend the knee to Vladimir Putin has reminded the West that, for those who have not yet learned to take it for granted, life under liberalism is worth fighting for.” Too bad so many must suffer to teach that vital lesson. https://t.co/Y7Lnrweku3 — PolitiTweet.org

“‘They were civilians,’ a survivor said, showing cellphone pictures of dead men in civilian clothes with their hands bound behind their backs and in one case in the front.” What else can one say? That a criminal war breeds war crimes? That this must stop? https://t.co/4bXAGP1uoo — PolitiTweet.org

“More Americans died of covid in 2021 than 2020. So far in 2022, the virus has taken another 130,000 lives… A million deaths will have expunged tens of millions of years of life—a mass erasure of new, strange, and wonderful possibilities.” https://t.co/yTCxRRT7tH — PolitiTweet.org

“Why hire this partisan, the White House acting chief of staff for a time, who had such an execrable record of enabling his boss’s corruption and reinforcing his lies? What journalistic purpose could this possibly serve?” None. CBS should be ashamed. https://t.co/LHnZ6LhfWG — PolitiTweet.org

“The rock band Kino’s 1986 song ‘Changes’ was a famous anthem across Eastern Europe that presaged the Soviet Union’s collapse.” The profound lesson: Dictatorships, like democracies, aren’t forever. https://t.co/JZjWbK5PGr — PolitiTweet.org
