Donald Trump claims that as president, he could declassify documents simply “by thinking about it.” The problem with that made-up theory? That power would now rest with Joe Biden, @AshaRangappa_ says:
“It doesn’t make any sense, but it also doesn’t work in his favor."

Trump said there doesn’t have to be a declassification process — there does.
Trump said he “declassified everything” — even if he did, it wouldn’t matter.
Trump said he can declassify “by thinking about it” — he can’t. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

In a major shift, Israel admitted one of its soldiers likely killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. But the U.S. should do more to bring her justice, @Dena says: "Anything short of accountability and a full investigation is completely unacceptable.”

The story of Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi is also one of “a normal child who had hopes and dreams,” journalist @Dena says.
“Unfortunately, like so many other Palestinian children,” she tells @mehdirhasan, “your dreams are just absolutely denied” in the occupied territories.

.@Zac_Petkanas makes the case for ranked-choice voting:
"Our current system says an extremist candidate...w/ a committed group of followers can obtain power with 45, 40, 35% of the vote if the rest of the electorate is divided. It’s really important to be able to counter that"

There’s a common thread weaving America’s outdated voting systems together: They "tend to protect the same political minority: Republicans."

Israel says Shireen Abu Akleh was likely shot by Israeli forces, but the U.S. hasn't demanded an independent probe into her killing.
She “deserves justice and accountability,” @Dena tells @mehdirhasan. “There needs to be more done.”

Luigia Colucci was an Italian immigrant who came here in 1917, unable to read or write and thanks to what some on the right might call 'chain migration.'

Ron DeSantis’s migrant stunt is so inhumane that he should be barred from office, @mehdirhasan says — but it goes deeper than that.
Does Florida's nativist governor remember that his — and many other Republicans' — ancestors benefited from the immigration policies he opposes?
