I don’t much like the Democratic Party. But decisively defeating GOP candidates in the midterms is the surest way to stop ethnic demagoguery—while a GOP victory will encourage future campaign ads that even more closely resemble the work of D. W. Griffith. https://t.co/UbMAHXJhva

When Obama gave a careful speech about manufacturing policy, it didn't get live coverage. If Trump promises he's going make good TV by lying about the caravan and slandering immigrants, CNN goes live.
"Newsworthy" has to mean more than this. https://t.co/BG7nx8gGGH

This is epic.
I realized that the GOP was bereft of ideas around 2006 — and that Conservatism Inc was a fraud, no more than rent-seeking with websites. They seek to conserve their sinecures, nothing else.

This is frankly disgusting. I was responsible, directly, for U.S. sanctions against Iran for a long while. I took pride in their development, design and use. But not joy. Having to do this is lamentable and will impose very real, human costs. Take this seriously, please. https://t.co/FO1qMVaPYl

FULL STORY. UK and Ireland signal Irish border Brexit deal could be agreed soon. And. Arlene Foster issues positive statement (weeks after DUP threatened to pull plug on May). https://t.co/V39kN8g6j8

Overall picture tonight is of very cautious optimism after a week of intense diplomacy. Ireland was anxious in particular about @DominicRaab’s Sunday @telegraph & #Marr remarks about no new regulatory borders, believing this contravened Joint Report.
