This seemed the scarier part of that story: "'The fact that I'm here shows we want to see what else needs to be done.' The U.S. is 'not pulling back' in the region, she told reporters, but 'engaging more,' citing Trump's airstrike on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's air base." https://t.co/BOjf1jRTmk

Charles Peters offers powerful explanation of why educated libs no longer care about bottom-half workers: So many libs own stock they now identify with wage-cutting corporations. Explains lib indifference to wage-cut effect of low-skilled immigration! https://t.co/CvZxgM4CR4

"[T]he ways in which friendships end as one gets older." https://t.co/hMI1icJTU2 That's why I found @RobertEarlKeen's "Feeling Good Again" so moving. But this piece is more idosyncratic and … novelistic than the title might suggest.

Trump Could Blow Up the Republican Lobbying Machine https://t.co/J6v5d24OOw Good analysis but I suspect it's only resting. If Trump loses reelection but Republicans retain hold on Congress, GOP K St. machine will try to carry on as if nothing had happened.

The next Dem president's strategy becoming clear: Open the borders and let in millions of illegal immigrants until Congress cries "amnesty"? Talk about an abuse of power. https://t.co/LVu68siN43

.@lehmannchris casually referencing Trump's "vile authoritarian governing record" in a promo email for @NewRepublic. I still don't get it. Authoritarian? Trump can't even get a DHS secretary confirmed.

I dunno. The 6th Amendment doesn't apply. The whistleblower law doesn't apply. We're in an open field. But the concerns underlying the 6th Amdmt and WB law are still valid and can guide us in that open field. https://t.co/mUZoEydIHo
