Guy who thinks massive grassroots organizing pressure forced reluctant red state democrats to defy the will of fossil fuel lobbyists and that’s why IRA is happening. — PolitiTweet.org

@tysonbrody @SpecialPuppy1 Biden is pretty unpopular — distancing from him seems like something you’d think more people would do. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I complained that ⁦@HawleyMO⁩ doesn’t care enough about public policy issues, but today I see that he’s actually hard at work on trying to make sure health care prices stay high so maybe he cares too much. https://t.co/nZ0Q4DMNGN https://t.co/mBwfAxCxdf — PolitiTweet.org

The biased liberal media only wants to talk about the criticism Mastriano is taking for his close partnership with a raging anti-semite. What about all the other anti-semites who are excited about this and think it’s great? https://t.co/BJDHTsb44r — PolitiTweet.org

This post that seemingly enraged half of Chicago generated the biggest one-day subscription boost Slow Boring has seen in over a year. So I guess the moral of the story is I'd better troll more cities. https://t.co/QyGjPrLzey — PolitiTweet.org

He was all "I know you could do so much better if you actually applied yourself." But why apply yourself if the results are broadly acceptable without meaningful effort? This is the ethos that made me a blogger. — PolitiTweet.org

I remember trying to convince a teacher in 8th grade that the fact that it didn't seem like I tried very hard on an essay that he conceded was basically fine should be considered a point in my favor. — PolitiTweet.org

With the economy adequately stimulated for the first time in 20 years, growth has to come from some mix of good luck and policy reforms on the supply side. https://t.co/xEv2SGBQ61 — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I think “supply-side factors are what’s driving inflation” is overrated but “supply-side factors are what’s driving RGDP decline” is underrated. It’s @elidourado’s supply-side recession (or ~non-recessionary growth slowdown~ if you prefer). — PolitiTweet.org

@bencasselman @DavidBeckworth How is real GDP compared to the pre-pandemic trend? — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Warren has the centrality of competition right, exactly why as long as people are relying on oil & gas to heat homes and move vehicles we need policy to encourage new investment in these areas ;) — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Indeed if you think about it, a successful “keep it in the ground” push to block Wall Street financing of new oil projects would lead to sky high profit margins and enormous dividends as an investment drought blocks competition. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Interestingly, it looks like in the end Summers may be wrong about the risk that inflation will wreck Biden’s investment agenda — but wrong in part because he himself was around to help salvage it! — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

The most important point @jonathanchait makes isn’t about the fact that @LHSummers was largely correct, it’s about the dangerous habit of attributing all disagreement to bad faith and bad motives rather than the genuine difficulty of seeing the truth. https://t.co/045blcbJPz — PolitiTweet.org

To me it’s actually more important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions than to own the fossil fuel industry. I’m glad that Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and other key actors agree. — PolitiTweet.org

If I were British, I would simply address the country’s main problems which seem remarkably straightforward, rather than having all this very entertaining infighting and scandals. https://t.co/TK0TBOrFpO https://t.co/UMjGeJ8ZBX — PolitiTweet.org

This seems dramatically worse than: — Broadly upzone Boston to allow for more construction of market rate housing — Use the ensuring windfall of tax revenue to pay for more public services — PolitiTweet.org
