Just make sure he doesn't try to silence me and suppress my First Amendment right to speak out against Netanyahu's racist and inhumane policies. https://t.co/GrxrZJmLTs

replies to her:

I've been a supporter of the "squad" from beginning. As a moderate, I believe everyone has a right to their views. Lately I've been getting tired of progressives. You're LOUDLY forcing your views on everyone. Things take time for us older Dems. Don't threat, negotiate.

Terrible, terrible way to greet the announcement of Biden’s nominee for Secretary of State, who happens to be a true professional — a major step up from where we’ve been for the past four years. What are you thinking?

I consider myself pretty progressive, but I also value knowledgeable politicians. The fact that you tweeted this makes me think that you believe the SoS can decide if the 1st amendment applies to something or not, which is incredibly sad.

first saw because of this retweet by a First Amendment lawyer

Again, it's really amazing how constitutionally illiterate our elected officials are.

This is the rough equivalent of getting mad about @senatorshoshana tweeting about raising your taxes. https://t.co/D2zt4xA96o

Antony Blinken clearly gets the “A. Blinken sounds like Abe Lincoln” joke. His Twitter handle is @ABlinken

I went to Julian Borger's twitter feed to see what he had to say about this, because he is the savviest journo around on the international diplomacy beat and one with decades of experience now as well. And he had nothing yet. BUT he did have this from the 18th, which very much suggests a reason why this name is out there earlier than expected!

There you have it. Trump official told CNN the goal is to "set so many fires that it will be hard for the Biden administration to put them all out."

This is scorched earth foreign policy. https://t.co/73KDBnpW9D

Touche, fires no problemo...people not going to take Trump fires seriously as they now know what's coming in January: Obama's State Dept.

She also added this opinion to her own tweet:

On returning to Iran deal, Biden has a small window of opportunity before the presidential election season starts in Iran around April.

He should prioritize the return to JCPOA and make it be fast and clean, without complications and conditions, before Rouhani’s presidency ends.

BREAKING: Joe Biden intends to name Obama alum Antony Blinken to run the State Department. He's also likely to select Jake Sullivan to serve as his national security adviser. Scoop from @business @tylerpager @jeneps @SalehaMohsin https://t.co/W3MdhR9oRJ

What great news for a battered State Department. Tony Blinken will be a great Secretary of State and make America proud

“Blinken is also the stepson of a Holocaust survivor and has often spoken of the moral example the United States sets for the rest of the world.” https://t.co/AqqWWedcSU

Here's my profile of Tony Blinken, possibly Biden's Secretary of State, but also a film producer and the most cosmopolitan man in DC. "In Paris..his family hosted a gathering for Spike Lee, who, his mother recalled fondly, “kept calling me ‘sister.’ ”https://t.co/THKykup31s
