Of course, I knew the answer: thousands of nuclear warheads at the disposal of unelected, ruthless leaders. And a huge military. — PolitiTweet.org

In the late 1980's, as a @WSJ reporter, I visited Moscow for the first time. I took a long walk. Food in stores was scarce. A man in a dusty truck was selling unrefrigerated ground meat to a throng on the sidewalk. I wondered how I could have grown up afraid of these poor people. — PolitiTweet.org

@PatrickWRowe25 Reagan was key to this. But so were others of both parties. A few examples: Truman saved West Berlin with an airlift. Kennedy faced down the Soviets over missiles in Cuba. And George H.W. Bush kept a reunified Germany in NATO. Every president from 1948-1991 played a role. — PolitiTweet.org

29 years ago today, the Soviet Union collapsed, its captive “republics” became independent nations, and the long, dangerous Cold War ended. The biggest part of the old USSR, Russia, is still a malevolent, nuclear-armed state, and China is still Communist. But the world is safer. — PolitiTweet.org

@efp722 @Twitter @WhiteHouse @POTUS Twitter isn’t the National Archives. And followers who’d rather not keep doing so can always unfollow. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is ⁦@Twitter⁩ refusing to migrate the followers of government-run presidential accounts, ⁦@WhiteHouse⁩ and ⁦@POTUS⁩, to the Biden Administration? This is a reversal of what it did for Trump in 2017. (Trump keeps his personal account.) https://t.co/NIHdttclgm — PolitiTweet.org

How can you dissuade a friend or relative from believing and spreading misinformation? Here are some tips from the News Literacy Project. ⁦@NewsLitProject⁩ https://t.co/346NmLb67X — PolitiTweet.org

@Patina_Photo @sarizzzJ @vaguar @Apple @Facebook I profoundly disagree. Plain old ads are ok. But not privacy theft or tracking, unless you get the explicit permission of the user, which is all @Apple is doing by switching to opt-in. If enough people decline, @Facebook and its ilk can always try paying people to track them. — PolitiTweet.org

@BobSchiff But that doesn’t mean he can legally undo everything Trump’s DOJ might do in the next month. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone taking comfort from Attorney General Barr’s refusal to buy into Trump’s broad election fraud claims, or to appoint a special counsels, should remember that he’s leaving office Wednesday and a new AG, Jeffrey Rosen, will take over. He may have other views. — PolitiTweet.org

As a born and bred Rhode Islander, this song from a 1948 Broadway show, which I stumbled upon a few years back, always makes me smile. It mentions many other states too. https://t.co/8ay5dw6Gtf — PolitiTweet.org
