@CRBlaettler I've actually been to Vegas to talk about the race, and it got a lot tougher in redistricting. (Seat is less safe in November.) https://t.co/JAflR80gth — PolitiTweet.org

Axios story about the squad's 2022 ambitions 1) doesn't seem to realize that Newman is the heavy underdog in the primary and 2) that Pressley had no primary challenger in 2020. Sloppy - but very clickable. https://t.co/v1hbElqN4f — PolitiTweet.org

@JonahDispatch Was clear to me that he was gesturing, but because he's so old, when he looks around for his exit he looks like he's lost. So it came together as "demented old man doesn't know where he is." — PolitiTweet.org

Says a lot about the current view of Biden that the fake-ass "he shook hands with air" meme got around so widely. Often, the only "news" from a Biden speech is a gaffe or some gaffe-shape thing selected by social media engagement. https://t.co/pZSvWWshq5 — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump twitter ban comes from the same period when Kevin McCarthy wanted Twitter to remove members of his own conference who were tweeting crazy things, but everybody's moved on. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine if Trump was able to tweet again, instead of relying on reporters to post his press releases as soon as they hit the inbox. This would change everything https://t.co/vi6r9W0wUo — PolitiTweet.org

It does feel like some Analysis leaned too hard on "it's close, Le Pen could win if the polls are wrong." As in 2017, the polls *over-estimated* her support. But the take was already in the oven, had to pull it out and serve it. https://t.co/kLOLDTK15u — PolitiTweet.org

@jayala_78 @MarcACaputo Well, as Conor Lamb points out, Fetterman is on the pardon board — it behooves the guy to say nice things. What really mitigates the story for Fetterman is that the guy he chased down ended up in jail anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Dem voters aren’t sure how that loses them votes in Trump country, which is what they care about. So you have Fetterman opponents insisting this will kill him in Philly, but these same Dems just watched Crime Bill Joe Biden do just what he needed in Philly. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Democrats are petrified of voters viewing them as “soft on crime,” as police-defunders — they can’t stop talking about it. Along comes a candidate whose allegedly fatal weakness is that he chased down a black jogger thinking he was fleeing a crime scene. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Good @MarcACaputo rundown of this story, which has not been dragging Fetterman does as opponents hoped — first ads on this began running a year ago. (I think one reason it’s flopping is that fewer voters are offended by the incident than Dems expected.) — PolitiTweet.org
