If you read this piece you’ll learn it’s not nearly as optimistic (for Dems) as the headline implies. https://t.co/QlkXRPiKeM

CLEARER: Should we “[call] for Zelensky to make ‘territorial concessions’ in exchange for a cease fire”? I think @bobwrighter (who seems open to ‘yes’) is persuasive in his argument against @anneapplebaum (who says ‘no’). But I would say that. https://t.co/i66GOfgUw7

“[M]aking the future more just than the past is a mission as grand as any offered by antiquity.” Sure. The problem is that people–and not just anti-liberal rightists–can see the future we’re headed towards and they don’t like it. https://t.co/5cwrYIY2zb https://t.co/9sFhQRxHD2

Also, empowering people to think and act for “people who will live in the future—or, at least, people who may live in the future” is very subversive of democracy. (Indeed it seems like a likely potential rationale for violence to protect all the future people who can’t vote now.)

When you’re talking about how the budget reflects America’s priorities, you can’t just use the “discretionary” budget! That leaves out Social Security & Medicare. The non-discretionary budget is much bigger than the discretionary budget that includes defense spending. 2/3

Refusing to hold hearings or a vote for two years seems extreme. But what if a GOP Senate just voted down nominees until Biden appointed someone conservative or centrist enough for them? That appears to be the battle the Constitution sets up https://t.co/15rJsbAjK0

Even if true, it’s almost irrelevant since what newspapers actually do seems to be determined by the wokest, not the “average journalist.” Would the “average journalist” have suppressed the Hunter story to beat Trump? Maybe, maybe not. And yet virtually the entire MSM did … https://t.co/pnF5FubVai
