The discovery of a Chinese balloon that scrubbed a diplomatic trip feels reminiscent of the U-2 incident that blew up a summit between Ike and Khrushchev. For a great look back at that drama, check out "Mayday," the gripping account by ⁦@BeschlossDC⁩ https://t.co/6KyI61OGaa — PolitiTweet.org

The flap over the Chinese government balloon crossing America has again exposed the fragility of a relationship between two powers locked in an increasingly tense rivalry for military, geopolitical and technological dominance, writes ⁦@dhpierson⁩ https://t.co/WNZ70EJAR7 — PolitiTweet.org

The Chinese balloon came shortly after a classified report to Congress last month cited at least two incidents of a rival power conducting aerial surveillance with what appeared to be unknown cutting-edge technology ⁦@julianbarnes⁩ ⁦⁦@ewong⁩ https://t.co/4RexqBOZQl — PolitiTweet.org

Schiff calls China's spy balloon a provocation. "It's a bare-faced demonstration of China's aggression," he says at @RMWritersFest. "That they would take the risk of being discovered, as indeed they were, they would have to know that there was a high likelihood of discovery." — PolitiTweet.org

News that somehow gets lost in the shuffle: Our solar system has 12 more moons than we previously knew, all orbiting Jupiter. That brings its total to 92, the most of any planet circling the sun. https://t.co/Tb7PeOLzBF — PolitiTweet.org

It would be easy to dismiss Trump's pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine statements "as the incoherent ramblings of a Florida retiree with a weird Putin fixation," @sbg1 writes, except Trump is the GOP frontrunner and many in his party agree with him. https://t.co/NOljTTBsms — PolitiTweet.org

Employers added 517,000 jobs in January, nearly double the month before, underscoring the labor market’s extraordinary vibrancy as the unemployment rate fell to 3.4%, the lowest since 1969. @melbournecoal https://t.co/impunzIa5E — PolitiTweet.org
