“The earliest of the poems in this tetralogy were written at 373 parts per million of CO2, and the most recent at 414 parts per million; that is to say, in the old calendar, 2002 and 2020, respectively.” So opens the majestic introduction to “[To] The Last, [Be] Human.” — PolitiTweet.org

Reupping my Sept 6 op-ed with @DennisAftergut and Philip Lacovara on the now urgent question: When, Where and For What Mar-a-Lago Crimes Should Garland Indict Trump? https://t.co/r4LoLy3du4 — PolitiTweet.org

At least @politico, unlike @axios, got this right: Justice Barrett ruled without comment against the bid to halt Biden’s debt relief; to read Axios, you’d think the gratuitous remarks made by the district court were hers! Will Axios run a correction? https://t.co/5gGJXSO195 — PolitiTweet.org

Looking at which grand juries are nearing the point at which a Trump indictment seems inevitable, one can safely predict where the former president will face criminal trials: DC and Fulton County, Georgia: https://t.co/vUACeq1Zzz — PolitiTweet.org

This article says “Graham can ask the full appeals court to reconsider the order or ask the Supreme Court to intervene.” He can, but that would be stupid. His claim that he has a right to avoid the subpoena is baseless. The 3-0 ruling against him was right https://t.co/bTIz2N900M — PolitiTweet.org

No less noteworthy is that DOJ isn’t being tricked into bringing criminal charges in Trump’s home turf. It’ll indict him in the Nation’s Capital, where the obstruction of justice and theft of classified government documents began! What started there should return there. — PolitiTweet.org

“Those seeking to take advantage of the [loan forgiveness] program . . . may wish to consider this possibility before placing undue reliance on the benefits promised." — Justice Amy Coney Barrett, in a dictum gratuitously scaring tens of millions of student borrowers on Oct 22 — PolitiTweet.org

As I predicted, this emergency appeal to SCOTUS through Justice Amy Coney Barrett got tossed summarily — without comment or dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Court rightly — and unanimously — rejects Lindsey Graham’s claim of immunity from having to testify before the Georgia grand jury. He should save himself the trouble of a futile trip to SCOTUS. He’d lose 9-0. https://t.co/cbr8dxLFKL — PolitiTweet.org

“Arizona has a recent history of extremely close elections, so small changes to its election laws could have a huge impact on the outcome and reverberate nationally.” Electing Lake, Finchem, and Amadeh would be totally devastating to democracy’s survival. https://t.co/dGwhRZuj0t — PolitiTweet.org

The global victory of “democracy” as an abstraction “also poses a risk––if dictatorships are trying to redefine the term to suit them, do we all risk losing sense of its meaning?” https://t.co/IBNaKj8JIU — PolitiTweet.org

Under law settled for 99 years & reaffirmed in 1968 & again in 1982, taxpayers lack Art. III standing to challenge anything besides specific congressional appropriations, & even those only under the Establishment Clause. These taxpayers lack standing. https://t.co/v4Mrr0NInp — PolitiTweet.org

Putting our problems in perspective: Now we’re learning that the so-called Chicxulub asteroid also generated a massive “megatsunami” with waves more than a mile high. Gulp. https://t.co/l6N2GebFNr — PolitiTweet.org

What a ludicrous offer. Who imagines Trump hasn’t already stashed missing stuff at his other properties? https://t.co/rBfMlDzFQ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

As if we didn’t already have enough to worry about! Article V says it’d require 38 states to ratify any amendments coming out of such a Constitutional Convention. But these Bannonites might try to trash that math. Would SCOTUS stop them? Could it? https://t.co/jAgJnzxA2g — PolitiTweet.org

The big question mark remains, unfortunately, the United States. Some 30 to 35 percent of its voters continue to believe the false narrative that the 2020 presidential election was stolen https://t.co/joLfzpH2cc — PolitiTweet.org

The tower of provable crimes by Trump keeps growing taller. The tipping point — the point the looming tower will topple — gets nearer with every passing day. Then: KABOOM 💥 💥💥💥👽👾🫀⚡️🔥☄️🔥🌪️ https://t.co/RtZx1Bfife — PolitiTweet.org

“Liberal democracy has endured & come back repeatedly, because the alternatives are so bad. People across varied cultures do not like living under dictatorship, & they value their individual freedom.” So don’t despair. Liberalism may lose but it’ll return https://t.co/eNrG3IOFVV — PolitiTweet.org

Criminal accountability for all who helped Trump try to retain his office after losing “will be crucial to society’s and history’s assessment of the outrageous offenses against democracy that took place after the 2020 election.” https://t.co/inOULOqj0Y — PolitiTweet.org

One more formerly reputable lawyer bites the dust on a mission for Trump, this one doubly doomed by its handling by Barr: https://t.co/uCYNbsjIwC — PolitiTweet.org

Durham must be put through a rigorous ethics probe. Having been given his thankless task by Bill Barr is no excuse for pursuing phantoms and shadows to exact partisan revenge: — PolitiTweet.org
