Got my chance to be on @ZerlinaMaxwell @ZerlinaShow for the first time ever! As a huge fan of hers, I was thrilled. You've heard that phrase on talk radio, "long-time fan, first-time caller"? That's how I felt tonight! — PolitiTweet.org

I hope these 21 Republicans understand how their actions are a gift to autocrats around the world. You can't claim to be "tough on China" and then do this. — PolitiTweet.org

When expectations are really low, even very small achievements will feel like big steps forward. In Geneva tomorrow, just agreeing to start talks (not actually starting them) on arms control or returning ambassadors to their posts in DC & Moscow will look like major wins. — PolitiTweet.org

This format means that Geneva 2021 will not look or feel like Helsinki 2018. (Trump did a disastrous joint press conference with Putin and had no notetaker in the room.) And that's a very good thing. Chalk up a win for Biden's protocol team! 4/ END THREAD — PolitiTweet.org

Third, Biden and Putin will first meet almost alone, but with a "notetaker" on each side, Secretary Blinken and Foreign Minister Lavrov. Good. The Biden administration needs a good record of the event, and Blinken knows cold almost all of the issues that might come up. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
