Ready to read something mind-blowingly insightful and eye-opening that’ll make you laugh and cry at the same time? Sit down, take a deep breath, and spend 10 minutes waiting to exhale. This @harari_yuval piece is sheer genius. — PolitiTweet.org

What words, @maureendowd? How about perverse, unfit, abusive, unpardonable, unprincipled, unhinged, asinine, deplorable, amoral, compromised, intolerable . . . impeachable? — PolitiTweet.org

As @jill_lepore writes here, “A government founded upon justice requires a cleareyed and unflinching reckoning with its own history, its sorrows and atrocities no less than its glories and its triumphs.” — PolitiTweet.org

If the unborn are “persons” with the rights that all persons enjoy, it’s indefensible to leave their fate to the states. If they aren’t persons, forcing women to carry them to term is slavery, forbidden by the Thirteenth Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

How can Zuckerberg and Sandberg sleep at night? As if Brexit and MAGA 2016 weren’t bad enough, their insatiable greed blinds them to the evil they’re enabling in 2019-20 and far beyond. Or maybe they’re not blind but just shameless? Which is worse? https://t.co/tDc2PYRlVA — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not the LIST of political enemies as such that’s impeachable — It’s Trump’s directing his lackey Attorney General, Bill Barr, to unlock whatever classified national secrets Barr might find useful in prosecuting and locking up those enemies https://t.co/DZ0ErT73Yq — PolitiTweet.org

The latest charges against Assange endanger future DOJ efforts to protect the nation — and of course endanger First Amendment values as well https://t.co/4ei1PQDVhF — PolitiTweet.org

As I told WaPo, @ewarren’s outside work “always reinforced (rather than ever detracting from) her highly successful teaching and her exemplary role as a mentor.” https://t.co/1r1t1WeAsD — PolitiTweet.org

The rationale for #ImpeachmentInquiryNow has NOT been weakened by the 2 federal court subpoena wins against Trump: they both involved data related to potential legislation. Forcing McGahn, Donaldson, Hicks, etc to testify is different and will be eased by #ImpeachmentHearingsNow — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Abusing declassification authority to pursue and punish a president’s political enemies is a classic “high Crime and Misdemeanor.” It belongs on the agendas of both @RepAdamSchiff’s & @RepJerryNadler’s House Committees. Open the #ImpeachmentInquiryNow! https://t.co/U7JkqngZz7 — PolitiTweet.org

A smart take by @paulkrugman: #infrastructure on the wall, who’s the dumbest of them all? https://t.co/ZyCbki2LxK — PolitiTweet.org

Count on independent federal judges to protect Congress’s power of the purse from a rapacious president: Block that wall! https://t.co/Foai83ojjt — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook can always say we all knew it was evil, but what’s Twitter’s excuse? — PolitiTweet.org

So what’s Facebook’s excuse? — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s retweet of a doctored video making it look like Pelosi is slurring her words is so far beneath contempt that words fail me. That his cheap trick might actually fool tens of millions of people is staggering. Nobody so lacking in character belongs in public office. — PolitiTweet.org

.@AlanDersh and I also agree in opposing Trump’s awful immigration policies, the double standard on campuses regarding Israel, Natanyahu’s terrible efforts to weaken Israel’s Supreme Court, new restrictions on abortion, cutbacks in LGBTQ rights, and on most civil liberties issues — PolitiTweet.org

Even after @PeterAlexander reminded Trump that “treason” is narrowly defined in Article III and is punishable by death, Trump repeated that he believes Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and others whose FBI work he distrusts are guilty of treason. Grotesque. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I rarely get an opportunity to agree with @AlanDersh these days. When he and I agree — as we do here — it’s an occasion for alarm. This threat to freedom of the press is clear and pressing. https://t.co/XLU6SwrC3z — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The need for Mueller to testify publicly is clear — as @PreetBharara & @neal_katyal say — but spinning procedural wheels mustn’t slow down the progress of #ImpeachmentInquiryNow with witnesses like Felix Sater, Don McGahn, Annie Donaldson & Hope Hicks. Don’t lose momentum! — PolitiTweet.org

With the DC Circuit hearing argument on the Mehta ruling on July 12, my bet is the 2d. Circuit will hear argument on the Ramos ruling by July 19; both circuits will rule that Congress’s subpoenas are immediately enforceable by August 1; and SCOTUS will deny cert by October 7. — PolitiTweet.org
