@legiones_redde @asymmetricinfo What policy specifically do you think they should change? — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@jdcmedlock Yes though if you plan on subsisting on an all-maize diet it’s better to switch to pupusas so you don’t get pelagra. — PolitiTweet.org

@Owen_Grif I’m no expert, but I like Mosaico over by Union Market and Chicken & Whiskey by my house. — PolitiTweet.org

All this trolling of the libs is making me want some arepas and I’m glad to have a place to get some in the neighborhood. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@Last1OfTheBest Well then I disagree with you — PolitiTweet.org

What we should have is a system of well-organized legal immigration at high volumes, not chaotic arrivals and a lot of post hoc judicial determinations — the status quo is bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I genuinely sympathize with the view that the asylum system has become unworkable and needs to be dramatically altered, but the notion that libs are only pro-immigration because we have no experience with living near immigrants and will run in terror from them is bizarre. — PolitiTweet.org

@robinsonmeyer I mean isn’t this what venture capital is for? Unproven technologies? Solar & wind are good enough now that you finance projects with boring loans from boring banks. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech cannot possibly compete with this level of cringe — PolitiTweet.org

This is really banal but one reason Trump attracts a lot of hostile media coverage — sometimes even undeserved hostile media coverage — is that his team lies constantly in a way that erodes their credibility. Traditionally spokespeople have tried to avoid this dynamic. — PolitiTweet.org

The murder rate is (probably) falling a bit in 2022 after the large rise in 2020 and a small rise 2021. https://t.co/NK4iQBLas4 — PolitiTweet.org

@asymmetricinfo I think it depends in part on what “the intended effect” is — further polarizing the issue probably helps Blake Masters while being counterproductive from a standpoint of inducing Biden to make whatever policy change Republicans ostensibly want. — PolitiTweet.org

@EverydayWarren The correct way to own wealthy liberals is to propose building a midrise apartment building somewhere vaguely near their house. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin My biggest thing is that I want someone to track an official index of what is and isn't the conventional wisdom. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@MattZeitlin Is that the conventional wisdom? I always feel like observing that Americans enjoy very high living standards on average starts fights. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not a fan of Meloni’s brand of politics, but it’s noteworthy that she’s reiterating her commitment to the western alliance against Russia as she cruises to victory. Putin’s effort to use the gas weapon to get allies in office is mostly failing. https://t.co/cLYHc5bNmN — PolitiTweet.org

@aoxamaxoa Dems are clearly on track to do much better than the average midterm — I just think that’s consistent with pessimism relative to what the public polling averages say. — PolitiTweet.org

@bendreyfuss Yeah I think the boom in ADHD diagnosis is because now if you Google “get adderall quickly” there are a bunch of companies who paid to advertise that they will hook you up. https://t.co/iaR084hICK — PolitiTweet.org

In Florida, turnout surged and the state moved right. In Texas, turnout surged and there was a large leftward shift in the suburbs partially offset by a large rightward shift in Hispanic areas. None of this was visible in early vote entrails. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s worth contextualizing reports of surging turnout and voter registration with the mixed track record of this kind of prognostication https://t.co/eRfmt8sDsG — PolitiTweet.org

@N0bodyListens Thank you, I will read. But yes I asked for recommendations specifically as an alternative to googling. — PolitiTweet.org

@CEdwardDennison @crim_thought @N0bodyListens If the answer is “current law is fine and Joe Biden just needs to do X, Y, and Z” that would be helpful. — PolitiTweet.org
