"And then those thick black wings, with a glazy eyespot on each and a purplish bloom dusting their hooked foretips, took a full breath under the impulse of tender, ravishing, almost human happiness." -- Vladimir Nabokov https://t.co/7yvDPzw6yA via @NewYorker — PolitiTweet.org

“Trump is increasingly agitated by the House committee investigating the capitol attack and appears anxious he might be implicated in the sprawling inquiry into the insurrection even as he protests his innocence.“ https://t.co/GoumjEeOAd — PolitiTweet.org

This decision flagrantly violates the First Amendment and should be appealed instantly and reversed promptly. https://t.co/Imo0SHaUaz — PolitiTweet.org

“On Christmas Eve 1776, George Washington led his men across the Delaware River and changed the tide of history. On this eve in 2021, their Legacy is under attack. We must unite & rise to meet this moment just as they did 245 years ago. Merry Christmas.” — The Lincoln Project — PolitiTweet.org

“The most interesting and distressing thing about American news coverage right now is that we don’t treat the end of democracy in America as the story. That is the story.” — Tim Snyder — PolitiTweet.org

The most powerful telescope ever launched will depart from French Guiana this Christmas , travel 1M miles, unfurl into a 21’-wide segmented mirror composed of gold-plated hexagons, and remote calibration, and then begin to detect star explosions from the universe’s infancy. Cool! — PolitiTweet.org

The FBI special agent in charge of the Boston Division said “The FBI will not hesitate to … focus on those who put their financial and professional interests ahead of our country’s economic prosperity.” Like Donald Trump? https://t.co/6cSZLguHV4 — PolitiTweet.org

“That dereliction of duty [by Trump] causes us real concern,” Rep. Bennie Thompson said. As well it should: Remember every president’s affirmative Art. II duty faithfully to “execute the laws.” He wasn’t just some dude watching the mob sack our Capitol! https://t.co/fnrxmFisym — PolitiTweet.org

How the Court will deal with Trump’s latest attempt to delay and, frankly, obstruct the Special Committee’s inquiry into the obstruction of Congress’s official Jan 6 proceeding to count the electoral votes will tell us a lot about whether it’s a Supreme Court worthy of the name❗️ — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my full interview by @chrislhayes 👇🏼 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I had a good conversation with @chrislhayes about the urgent need for DOJ to conduct a thorough criminal investigation of ALL the leaders of the coup plot and the insurrection, including Trump, and NOT wait for the Jan 6 committee to finish its work. That’d be too late: — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

At a minimum, SCOTUS should grant this request to expedite. The exceedingly weak, essentially meritless, petition is designed solely as a delaying tactic. For the Court not to expedite is to play along with that tactic. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

As @chrislhayes put it, Trump’s 3+ hours of silence during the attack on the Capitol, while he was being implored to call off his rioters, was a feature, not a bug: the evidence strongly indicates that they were doing exactly what he’d planned. — PolitiTweet.org

Did Dershowitz make this absurd remark after or before an almost all-white jury convicted Potter of first and second degree manslaughter? Just curious.  https://t.co/ua5QAI2ts8 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

If it expects to be respected as a court rather than a black-robed extension of the Trump cult, the Supreme Court will promptly reject this legally groundless request. Watch this space. https://t.co/kxbFS7cG9y — PolitiTweet.org

YES!! At last!!! It’s a BFD for this president, a Senate traditionalist, to endorse a carveout from the filibuster for anything outside the fiscal sphere. Good for Joe! — PolitiTweet.org

“Dissuading future coup plotters by holding the leaders of the insurrection fully accountable for their attempt to overthrow the government demands a robust criminal investigation of those at the top” now — not after the Jan 6 committee suggests it: https://t.co/nhpF4iSKwZ — PolitiTweet.org

An urgent question that only Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice can answer — and one whose answer might well determine whether our imperfect democracy survives: please read this closely, everyone: https://t.co/n1wIVjIdW7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glad SCOTUS seems to have gotten the message that it had been overusing its opaque shadow docket. At least this issue will be fully briefed and publicly argued. https://t.co/bDBcm5o8yN — PolitiTweet.org

Aircraft passengers are 2 or even 3 x as likely to catch Covid-19 during a flight since omicron’s emergence, according to the top medical adviser to the world’s airlines. The fashionable cloth masks could be a terrible choice, given the new, furiously transmissible mutation. — PolitiTweet.org
