“In a post-Roe world, the promises of societal progress and bodily liberty . . . are duller. Today, 31 states unabashedly have laws sanctioning the sterilization of disabled people. In Nevada and Iowa, these laws, only three years old, are fresh.” https://t.co/YRSn4tSPpZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ripping children from their parents’ arms. Separating families forever. Echoes of the Nazis. Stephen Miller is just one of the monsters responsible. If anyone like Trump ever becomes president again, this unimaginably cruel practice will resume. https://t.co/SYVxugjNTm — PolitiTweet.org

“Future people are utterly disenfranchised. They can’t vote or lobby or run for public office. They can’t tweet, or write articles, or march in the streets. They are the true silent majority. We can at least give them fair consideration.” https://t.co/3c42uK0NcO — PolitiTweet.org

“[M]en cannot live with a lie and not be stained by it,” President Johnson said in introducing the 1965 Voting Rights Act. “The central fact of American civilization…is that freedom and justice and the dignity of man are not just words to us. We believe in them.” Some of us do. — PolitiTweet.org

Excerpt from this great thread: “To the extent SCOTUS props up these rigged statehouses with whackadoodle theories & rulings like ISL, the MORE the fed govt MUST respond with actions that ensure those statehouses are, in the end, democratically governed.” Read the thread! — PolitiTweet.org

“The baton that Reagan passed to a new generation became a truncheon in Gingrich’s hands. For those scratching their heads and moaning, “How did this happen?” Milbank has the answer. It all began with the honorable gentleman from Georgia.” https://t.co/7GsUihtNSs — PolitiTweet.org

Lies damaging particular individuals aren’t constitutionally protected, but lies about the state of the world are. E.g., saying COVID-19 isn’t real is protected by the 1st Amendment but spreading lies about a doctor treating COVID-19 patients isn’t. https://t.co/UHI4Gor6zv — PolitiTweet.org

“Scholars of democratic breakdown believe a decisive repudiation by GOP elites of Trump’s crimes against the country could help avert a future of increased political instability and violence.” Sadly, the odds of that decisive repudiation seem very low. https://t.co/nPOOkgvQTV — PolitiTweet.org

If the conservative justices were principled originalists, they would vote to uphold the race-conscious programs now in place, not strike them down. But they aren’t and they won’t. Their political agenda will lead them to strike down all such programs, 6-3 https://t.co/eFmrPx34sP — PolitiTweet.org

Even now, Eastman talks of the “admitted illegality in the conduct of the election.” What “illegality”? “Admitted” by whom? Saying his critics are “trying to criminalize” those who speak the legal truth is utter BS. Eastman helped Trump try to steal the election. That’s a crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Liz Cheney puts the question directly to Attorney General Garland: “Are you serious, Mr. Attorney General, about keeping ours a nation of laws?” If, as I believe, Garland’s answer would be yes, then he cannot hesitate but must prosecute the former president before 2023. — PolitiTweet.org

The title of David Pepper’s book, “Laboratories of Autocracy,” offers a grim but deadly serious spin on Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis’s description of America’s state legislatures as  “laboratories of democracy.”  The people must now reclaim power! https://t.co/YWDze4SehQ — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll go out on a limb and predict the Dems will score historic wins in the Senate and even the House this November because GOP nihilism and extreme overreach will sicken white-collar suburbs and women across the nation. https://t.co/YxPkJIK4LO — PolitiTweet.org

Monday marked 100 days till Election Day. But the term Election Day is a misnomer since each state has its own date for sending voters mail ballots. In 6 of the 8 battleground states, we have no more than 53 days and as few as 38 days until voters start casting mail ballots. — PolitiTweet.org

To all my followers who ask me whether this gross dereliction of duty by the FBI can be invoked to unseat Justice Kavanaugh and thus create a Supreme Court vacancy for President Biden to fill, the answer is clearly no. But it does add strength to the argument for Court expansion. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Jones is the scum of the earth. He is the worst of the worst. No punitive award will be big enough to put him away forever, which is what he deserves. — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent news. But Dems supporting Tim Ryan against the reactionary and dangerously extreme J.D. Vance mustn’t take anything for granted. These ghouls are determined to win by any means necessary, and they won’t hesitate to commit crimes to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to ECA reformers: DON’T assume 3 USC §7, fixing one December date for all electors to “give their votes,” per Art II, §1, Cl. 4, will keep state legislatures from messing with electoral vote counts AFTER that date. WRONG! It’s WHO the REAL electors WERE that’ll be disputed. — PolitiTweet.org

There's every reason to think the treasure trove of Alex Jones' incriminating texts, foolishly handed by his lawyers to the lawyers for Sandy Hook parents, will provide extremely valuable evidence for the J6HC and for DOJ in investigating and ultimately prosecuting Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s how to fix the potentially fatal flaw in the otherwise excellent — and urgently needed — bipartisan reform of the 1887 Electoral Count Act that almost enabled Trump to overturn the 2020 election (and why the fix is constitutional): https://t.co/5SFUB6ioJQ — PolitiTweet.org
