    @jonathanchait Anyone who takes Jonathan at his cherry-picked word should read the piece, where Cotton explicitly cites the Insurrection Act and advocates federal troops overriding local/state will to enforce Trumpian needs for state retribution against vague enemies. nytimes.com/2020/06/03/opinion/tom-cotton-protests-military.html

      @jonathanchait Incidentally, Bennet was fired for lying to a meeting of his assembled colleagues about his role not in publishing the piece, but soliciting and negotiating it in the first place. He was a dishonest attention-seeking hack, who shockingly, employed Bari Weiss and Brett Stephens.
