3/ I studied nuclear weapons strategy when I wrote my PhD dissertation on the Euromissile Crisis. A No-First-Use doctrinal stance is sound. Unmentioned is how many false warnings we & the Soviets did not react to. You need a prez with ice water in her veins.

1/ Eventually, the Democrats might be asked some serious national security and foreign policy questions, and Obama's failed policies will come to the fore. Facing Trump, Democrats turn on another president: Obama wapo.st/2GH1zis?tid=ss…
2/ Does anyone believe the Clinton-Powers-Rice-Obama destruction of Libya was a success? It opened the door to African refugees and migrants flowing into Europe which helped spark far-right-wing electoral successes. Does anyone believe that the Obama-Biden policy on Syria was a
3/ success? Whatever the degree of responsibility, Syria helped unleash another flow of refugees to Europe. Does anyone believe the overthrow of the democratically elected government in Egypt in favor of military coup and kleptocracy was a success? From North Africa to the Middle

1/ I think the most important policy goal is to get every American covered, at the lowest cost. Now, I'm not a health care expert and I'm not even an expert on the array of Medicare options I have as a senior. So, my head is on a swivel. Second, Lawrence O'Donnell points out that
2/ two committees, House Ways & Means and Senate Finance are going to write the health care bills. Every affected industry and entity is going to weigh-in. Here is the AFL-CIO in 2017, when I Googled "AFL-CIO" "Medicare For All." A) MFA is aspirational. We head towards universal
3/ coverage at the lowest costs. The AFL-CIO wants to protect its private insurance plans gained through collective bargaining.

1/ I am not a Gabbard supporter, nor do I favor her for the nomination. But, all the talk about she's an Assad supporter seems misleading. Let's suppose she did support Assad. What is the policy position of Democrats and progressives opposing Assad? Do/did you favor a policy of
2/ regime in Syria? Were you willing to pay the enormous financial costs of breaking Syria under the Colin Powell dictum: "you break it, you own it." Was regime change to occur with a CIA-backed coup? Did we have all the assets necessary to pull that off? Were we going to invade
3/ Syria? Were we going to base 100ks troops in Iraq?, a country that kicked us out over the SOFA? Obama seemed to back a small amount of military pressure that could not get rid of Assad combined with Russian participation in international negotiations that left Assad in power

It's back! I'm going to get back to my reading and live tweeting of the #Mueller report. I'm on v.1 pp. ~170 and had to break for several hours for various reasons.
Here is one of the original threads, which I tried to keep together but eventually gave up cause Twitter kept breaking. I'll take it up again here.
I mean right here, in this thread.

Calling Pennsylvania "#Biden's home state" as an excuse for why his base of operations isn't Delaware, where he was senator for THREE DECADES, ignores that he's trying to deflect from what Delaware stands for and what he did there when #Warren is going to hammer him on it.
#Biden never lived in #Philadelphia, ever.
He was born in Scranton, a white town upstate that is diametrically oppositional from Philadelphia which is majority black and the poorest big city in America.
Biden moved to Delaware from Scranton, PA when he was TEN.
It's fine to decide to distance yourself from the place--DELAWARE, not PA-- you lived for SIXTY SIX YEARS & where you grew up, got married, raised your kids & grandkids. But don't pretend it's because you are FROM Philadelphia when you just want our votes & your state is tiny.

This is a good piece by @tedhesson explaining how Trump's "solutions" to the migrant surge are simply disconnected from the factors causing it:

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
@tedhesson As I've tried to argue, there's a disconnect, or even a pathology, festering at the core of Trump's handling of the humanitarian crisis at the border that is helping to create a truly terrible situation:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@tedhesson But Dems need their own big answer to this crisis, as well. There is a real debate underway among them on this front, and they're gravitating towards a set of ideas and policies that will constitute an agenda in response to what is a new situation:

So It looks like the whole damn thing is rotten to its core with lots of powerful, privileged people protecting each other from scrutiny or punishment. Of course we all know this has been going on, but it's rare that it's exposed quite this openly.
What's interesting is how mundane all this is to the people inside the privileged spaces. This is just how things work for them, powerful men who get to prey upon women to varying degrees, with women who are granted admittance to that club willing to be some of the enforcers.
This is the meritocracy at work. As someone who has moved in meritocracy-adjacent spaces, but never joined, I've always known the meritocracy was total bullshit based on the people I knew who were inside it, but maybe, just maybe, the lid is being peeled back a bit.
