1. Maduro is not a good guy by any stretch of the imagination.
2. But capturing him through an extra-legal action that violates international law undermines any US credibility with Russia in Ukraine and China with Taiwan.
3. We have a terrible history with toppling leaders without a post-war plan.
4. We don't seem to have a plan.

[Nicholas Burns @RNicholasBurns]

An absolute travesty. In firing nearly 30 career Ambassadors, the Trump Administration has weakened U.S. diplomacy worldwide. No President has done anything like this in the 101-year history of the Foreign Service. https://t.co/d3OxkelTDz via @NYTimes

@Verizon keeps increasing my bill without explanation. In July I paid $118.63. In August, $129.13. Now for September, you are billing me $134.13. Outrageous. Maybe it’s time to look elsewhere.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

"As the U.S. dismantles its foreign-policy tools, as this administration fires the people who know how to use them, our ability to act with any agility will diminish."

Happy to see Bridget Brink firing back at this outrageous attack by a political hack

[Bridget Brink @AmbBridgetBrink]

“Take a seat”?

I was the first woman to serve as U.S. Ambassador in a war zone, living under Russia's missiles & drones for 3 years.

I won't be bullied, silenced, or back down.

I can’t wait to get to Congress & hold this Admin accountable.

Know Your Rights: a good three-minute video on due process

[Inequality Media @InequalityMedia]

The cruel attempt to strip due process from immigrants is an attack on all of us.

If government can arbitrarily target one group today, they can target anyone tomorrow.

Crime in DC is at a 30-year low. It's not even in top 10 dangerous cities in US. Throughout history, autocrats use a false pretext to impose government control over local law enforcement as a prelude to a more national takeover. That's far more dangerous than the situation he says he is fixing.

Millions get their news from NPR and PBS every day.

For emergency alerts, disaster updates, the weather and other reliable news.

Stations in rural areas, which rely twice as much on federal funding, could close.

Defunding this basic service would put millions in the dark.

The mass firing of American diplomats will weaken the U.S. globally and is a gift to China. My interview with NPR’s Weekend Edition. ⁦@afsatweets⁩ ⁦@StateDept⁩ https://t.co/rr4WFSNtN9

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

America’s diplomatic corps is needed now more than ever.

59 of my colleagues joined me in urging Secretary Rubio to halt FSO firings and resume the administration of FSOTs.

All 12 members of the Fulbright Scholarship Board resigned on Wednesday in protest of Trump's intervention in the selection process:

"This proud legacy has depended on one thing above all: the integrity of the program’s selection process based on merit, not ideology, and its insulation from political interference. That integrity is now undermined." https://t.co/8yMePzOw9I

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Holy shit. The Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense just testified that the cost of National Guard deployment is $134 MILLION. $134 MILLION to protect a few square blocks & it’s not even working. Every taxpayer should be outraged this is what they’re spending money on.

[Beatrice Camp @CampbCamp]

Sending away and scaring off international students is insane. Much of my foreign service career was focused on attracting these students, with their immeasurable benefits to our economy and culture.

[Harvard University @Harvard]

Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard. https://t.co/V8uvTNaL64

It was very moving to join in showing support for USAID staff who were given 15 minute slots to clear out their offices. Insane to push out good people doing important work.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

[AFSA @afsatweets]

"We are patriots. Our work benefits everyone in America," AFSA's USAID VP Randy Chester.

Dismantling USAID hurts our economy, security, and global leadership. Thank you, @NewsHour & @AliRogin, for shedding light on what’s at stake.
