It's a debt ceiling showdown about nothing — if House Republicans want to fight about the annual appropriations cycle, just fight at the end of the year when the last bill expires there's no need for this default crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting story from 1993 — Illinois legislature authorized $937 million in bonds to expand McCormack place but the project turned out to cost $987 million. So the authority sold some bonds with unusually high coupons, raising more than face value. https://t.co/pytJgA0P85 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s hard to cover the story of dogs not barking — “here’s the scoop I don’t have about who was on which side of a fight I’m not even sure happened” isn’t a very good article — but the lack of leaks and incredible job stability is one of the real hallmarks of the Klain Era. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing is the work of one person but on top of the substantive accomplishments of Biden’s first two years in office, @RonaldKlain managed a senior staff that generated frustratingly few insider leaks and dishy scoops about internal disagreements. — PolitiTweet.org

@dsquareddigest @joftius I don't really agree with that characterization, but fair to agree to disagree. Mainly complaining because my past interactions with Professor Loftus have been near-universally unpleasant. You're in a different camp, though — have any recommendations on this topic? — PolitiTweet.org

@snlester Exact question wording: "Please tell me whether or not you think it should be possible for a pregnant woman to obtain a legal abortion if she is married and does not want any more children." https://t.co/mb7QRkeNjm — PolitiTweet.org

It's interesting to think about what topics the non-"contrarian" writers you read never write about and wonder what cross-pressured views they are keeping under wraps. — PolitiTweet.org

Frame it as "welfare" and popularity drops across the board — but even so 10 percent of Republicans are saying we spend too little on welfare. https://t.co/UzCtlokLpk — PolitiTweet.org

Should a woman be allowed to have an abortion if she's married and does not want more children? 27 percent of Democrats (not me, I'm totally orthodox on this) say no — but you never hear from them. https://t.co/ekQYXtKtwP — PolitiTweet.org

On the internet, you get described as a "contrarian" if you express disagreement with the view of the political party you vote for on a non-zero minority of issues. But the vast majority of voters are like this — it's the full-time conflict extension people who are being weird. — PolitiTweet.org

@joftius I don’t think I represented myself as having incredibly deep convictions here; is there something you’d recommend that I read? Or is this one of these things where you just lash out with a lot of hostility for no real reason? — PolitiTweet.org
