To Attorney General Garland: This prosecution memo by a former United States Attorney, @BarbMcQuade, should save you a considerable amount of time and trouble once you decide that no one is above the law, not even a former president, as you have often said https://t.co/2cK9J1aEkd — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Farmer simply did not accept the idea that inequality of health-care access is natural or inevitable. Because of his belief and work, millions of people in some of the poorest nations on Earth are alive today. That’s what I call a life well lived. https://t.co/PBIswTWOgY — PolitiTweet.org

In a note to those of us who are University Professors at Harvard, President Larry Bacow wrote: “There is much for us to remember and celebrate about Paul in the days ahead. His love and care for others — and his profound decency, humility, and humanity — will always inspire.” — PolitiTweet.org

Putin’s stated intention to round up, jail or even execute dissidents, LGBTQ and religious and ethnic minorities in Ukraine portends crimes against humanity. That nation’s 200,000 Jews are directly targeted. Sadly, economic sanctions are all we and our NATO allies have available. — PolitiTweet.org

Such a shocking, devastating loss. Paul Farmer transformed the delivery of medical and other essential services to needy people everywhere. His genius was to make compassion tangible and to treat people not as assemblages of parts but as integrated wholes https://t.co/UP7qaMRknQ — PolitiTweet.org

The hair likely passed from Washington’s head to the Hamiltons, then to the Schuylers, on Eliza Hamilton’s side of the family — and then into an almanac that ended up on a bookshelf in a locked room in the library the Schuylers helped found. https://t.co/3UOWDKwfSq — PolitiTweet.org

Read this excellent summary of the federal court ruling that could end in holding Trump civilly accountable for inciting, aiding and abetting a violent insurrection that would render him constitutionally ineligible to hold any public office ever again: https://t.co/lZupxYXPiP — PolitiTweet.org

I’m persuaded by those who thought I meant to be using the word “treason” literally — despite my use of the phrase “would appear to be” — that I should’ve been more careful: Because we’re not at war with Russia, treason prosecutions should be off the table. Sorry if I misled you. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Mr. Trump’s contemptible behavior in refusing to accept the results of an election be seen as something to be imitated and employed in one election after another, along with voter suppression and partisan manipulation of the electoral results? https://t.co/k6OtP7hhxw — PolitiTweet.org

“President Biden has [rightly] refused to impose sanctions in advance of an invasion of Ukraine—despite second-guessing from some on the right. As Biden has correctly argued, imposing sanctions will give Russia a pretext for war.” — @rbhubbell — PolitiTweet.org

Led by Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson, the GOP’s Trump wing appears to be throwing its weight behind Putin. If Putin opts to wage war on our ally, Ukraine, such “aid and comfort” to an “enemy” would appear to become “treason” as defined by Article III of the U.S. Constitution — PolitiTweet.org

Of course prosecuting Trump holds peril. “But the far graver peril in this situation is inaction, a paralyzing refusal to hold Trump criminally liable for his behavior.” I’ve made clear to AG Garland that this is my view. We’ll see what he does, and when. https://t.co/FQEP5ZFp90 — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with @harrylitman’s take on Judge Amit Mehta’s 112-page ruling, a brilliant and devastating rejection of every argument Trump advanced to shield himself from this powerful suite of federal insurrection lawsuits. His goose is well and truly cooked. — PolitiTweet.org

Federal District Judge Amit Mehta has convincingly rejected Trump’s motions to dismiss the civil suits by Members of Congress to hold him accountable for harming them by inciting the Jan 6 insurrection and failing to call it off when asked to do so: https://t.co/SHE9x3xmKJ — PolitiTweet.org

“Judge Howell worried that the Justice Department’s willingness to agree to plea deals for these “petty” crimes backed up bad-faith arguments that the attack on the Capitol was a “protest” rather than a dangerous threat to the transfer of power.” https://t.co/7n2ybL5x37 — PolitiTweet.org
