Today, on the 50th day of the @JoeBiden presidency, Congress is expected to pass Biden’s $1.9T Covid relief plan, the most consequential piece of progressive legislation in at least half a century. Not half bad!!!!! — PolitiTweet.org

Hope she’s right! That exemption would open the door to passage of HR1/S1, which is essential if democracy is to have half a chance — PolitiTweet.org

“You want just enough structure to hang your ideas on, but not so much that you are boxed in.” OMG: That’s exactly what the Framers sought in the U.S. Constitution! And that’s what too many self-styled “originalists” overlook. Q.E.D. https://t.co/XsrvrAQx49 — PolitiTweet.org

I couldn’t agree more. Greater transparency is essential to the legitimacy of this deliberately independent and politically unaccountable institution https://t.co/G9D6ceyKaF — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a compelling demonstration of why we must “carve out an exception [to the #FILIBUSTER ] for legislation concerning voting rights and the conduct of elections. There is ample precedent for this—including the budget reconciliation process.” Must read: https://t.co/hZo6xCIF4c — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s why I view @RepSwalwell’s lawsuit vs Trump, Don Jr, Giuliani & @MoBrooks_ as very likely to succeed in holding Trump & his coconspirators legally accountable: https://t.co/d8PGHq6hST — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be discussing @RepSwalwell’s new lawsuit vs Donald Trump, Don Jr, Rudy Giuliani & @RepMoBrooks on @TheLastWord with @Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC ~ 10:20 EST tonight. I’d suggest you tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeBiden did exactly the right thing in reimposing sanctions on the ultracorrupt Dan Gertner. Well done, Mr. President! https://t.co/sN0WDywaDK — PolitiTweet.org

In immigration, “as in so many areas, the essential task of restoring America’s competence and compassion—and, thereby, our humanity—has fallen to Joe Biden and his party.” Read this terrific summary by @RicPatterson 👇🏼 https://t.co/gQZggmOXi7 — PolitiTweet.org

“We must alter the design and structure of online spaces so that citizens, businesses, and political actors have better incentives, more choices, and more rights.” Here’s a great start at laying out the possibilities: https://t.co/T4kjE7fUHN — PolitiTweet.org

I think Chief Justice Roberts was right to dissent from the Court’s 8-1 decision in this case. It’s his first solo dissent in his 16 years as Chief Justice. Read the Thomas majority and see if you don’t agree with me that Roberts was right: https://t.co/bb7wV19xS9 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The most challenging thing about today’s 8-1 decision in UZUEGBUNAM, v. PRECZEWSKI, apart from trying to pronounce its name, is to figure out why it wasn’t 9-0 with Chief Justice Roberts writing for the Court rather than writing a rare (for him) solo dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m a strong supporter of HR1, and I’m certainly not endorsing this critique, but the tension between the need to control dark money in politics and the right to speak anonymously needs to be confronted more squarely than it has thus far been. https://t.co/2Sl0GV2KCa — PolitiTweet.org

“The foundation of a white-nationalist GOP has been building for half a century, since Nixon’s Southern strategy, through Reagan’s welfare queen and George H.W. Bush’s Willie Horton. But Trump took fear of non-Whites and immigrants to a whole new level.” https://t.co/zmuOPAG1Xo — PolitiTweet.org

Racketeering charges against Trump and his cronies for conspiring to steal the votes of Georgia citizens in the 2020 election seem entirely appropriate. https://t.co/66vSEEz3d2 — PolitiTweet.org

“Biden’s ambitious agenda could depend on whether Democrats are able to change the rules. Election revision could be the vehicle that answers that question.” Color me pessimistic. Manchin & Sinema are the reason. https://t.co/W80pmRvzKj — PolitiTweet.org

Of course Trump has that responsibility. But anybody who thinks he'll live up to it and do the right thing must be batshit crazy, not to put too fine a point on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Go Eric! This @RepSwalwell lawsuit against Trump in his personal capacity is one Trump won’t easily escape. Its legal basis is solid and its factual predicates are overwhelming. https://t.co/cIMYBpAJd3 — PolitiTweet.org
