Energy for Haley and Pompeo speeches was pretty low; a reporter asked me “was that what it was like when Jeb was here?” More than just not filling the room, many lines being tested out that didn’t land. https://t.co/xRm0tWkzyE — PolitiTweet.org

@LazlosGhost @HeylKatme As a 90s comics kid this is my big frustration with the last few years. They keep adapting stories that worked great on the page and drown them with crud. — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeMendi2 I said, go find an example of me sharing a story with juicy blind quotes predicting doom for Kushner or Trump. You come back with a RT of someone quoting Adam Schiff. Sorry, man, you're not worth responding to. — PolitiTweet.org

Not as bad as the heyday of weirdly specific and juicy blind quotes about how Trump or Kushner was about to go down, but obnoxious. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Cool thing about being too cowardly to go on the record is that people will just copy-paste your blind quote anyway, for clicks. I freakin' love journalism https://t.co/ublfDEBou1 — PolitiTweet.org

@austinahlman @mjs_DC Republicans did normal politics here - take the craziest-sounding part of a bill and beat the opposition over the head with it. DC Democrats operate in a veal pen, with no real competition; they were caught flat-footed here and have no strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

DC council continues to make race/sovereignty arguments for keeping the criminal code update instead of any argument for the code. You can make one, as @mjs_DC has, but the council has one (incredibly ineffective) mode. https://t.co/z0Jc6f74uh — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

@KDbyProxy Right. Instead of "you're being misled and here are reasons this code update is good," it was "we know this is screwed up but it's not right for you to stop us." Second argument was not going to pull anyone over. — PolitiTweet.org

@schnufflerowner That's why I link to the article, people should read it. I was saying, as an aside, that this is getting both favorable coverage from conservative media and outraged, detailed coverage in liberal media - which generates more positive conservative media coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

The Senate that's not going to make D.C. a state isn't going to save something being savaged in the media because of representation issues. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

The city's failed whipping operation worried the council even before Biden's move. Bowser's letter to Senate didn't mention that some criminal penalties are increased in the new code - just focused on representation. https://t.co/AUVw71z20s https://t.co/IYKulriQHe https://t.co/bHj2ZhVR58 — PolitiTweet.org
