So we're going to invoke the 25th Amendment (according to the anonymous Ryanist bureaucrat) to depose a President because he doesn't believe sufficiently in "free markets" and is "anti-trade" — and liberal Democrats are going to cheer it on? https://t.co/1OoOTqgXub

Also it doesn't say he's a political appointee right? Could be career civil servant (who happens to be orthodox Ryanist Republican). The real horror for Trump is many of his *political* appointees are also orthodox Ryanist Republicans trying to block him.

Weird that people whose whole theory of politics depends on tribalism-the Coalition of the Ascendant, 'Republicans Gotta-Win-Over-Latinos,' the Next America, etc–now pose themselves as against "tribalism." https://t.co/Jp5kKk1kTB

Can't liberals "defend values of tolerance and personal freedom" without (obnoxiously and self-delusionally) insisting that history is on their side? https://t.co/BolULLX2Hl

If it's "more immigration" business GOPs like Yoder who go down in Nov, will be hard to interpret the vote as a looser-borders mandate (even if Dems win the House), no? https://t.co/BVWAML6h3X

OK. He voted against crucial Dorgan poison pill that killed 2007 bill-suggests he was on board with awful CIR deal until it was poisoned!. https://t.co/EFDBhC094o After poisoning bill didn't even get 50 votes for cloture.
