"These people say they're patriots. But they're not. It's not patriotic to want your leaders to fail. I for one wish Trump had succeeded in preventing 1000s of people dying daily from Covid. But he didn't. So now...I hope Biden succeeds."

@shaunking @mehdirhasan @PressSec waiting for the new Secretary of State to review past statements but he has spoken out against the treatment of Uighurs
Great question from a reporter to @PressSec - does President Biden agree with the outgoing GOP Secretary of State's description of China's treatment of the Uighurs as "genocide."
More substantive questions like this, please.
There were a bunch of writers and commentators who spoke plain truths and who helped me through the Trump era and helped me stay sane, but the two that often come to mind are @AdamSerwer and @jbouie

What a ridiculous person @marcorubio has proven to be. He has no core values, no critical thinking. He’s like a fortune cookie: bland and tasteless with a different cliche of no meaning for any situation.

Replying to @ishaantharoor: The alternate universe where @Rob_Malley is a radical and Tom Cotton is not
Quoted @SenTomCotton
Appointing radicals like Malley gives the lie to all of President Biden and Tony Blinken’s rhetoric of unity.

OBAMA: "If all this takes eliminating the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic, in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then that's what we should do."
Replying to @kurtbardella: odd since her entire network can be considered satire instead of news.

"In the crowd that day were 13 members of state Houses or Assemblies; 3 state senators; a county commissioner; a city council member; a GOP congressional district chair; a district director & a co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party." @letsgomathias:
This is a great @jbouie, not least because it doesn't pretend there are simple, or even near-term achievable, answers to the core problem.
Quoted @baparkr
"A Yang administration will push back against the BDS movement...Not only is BDS rooted in antisemitic thought and history, hearkening back to fascist boycotts of Jewish businesses, it’s also a direct shot at New York City’s economy," writes @AndrewYang
The BDS movement has struggled recently and is hardly a major presence in NY politics.
So what do remarks like these do?
They reinforce a political climate in which any support for Palestinian rights is deemed beyond the pale. It's a strategy of quashing dissent.
