When you hear that a Pennsylvania senate candidate is secretly from New Jersey you assume he’s going to at least be from the Philly suburbs, not the New York ones. It’s really odd. — PolitiTweet.org

This is definitely the funniest Senate race I can recall https://t.co/09DFMVgluE — PolitiTweet.org

You’re not seeing anything at all comparable to the mass mobilization against the Affordable Care Act or the counter-mobilization that happened to defend it in 2017. And again that’s not because Biden is walking on water politically. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The total lack of popular mobilization against the specific legislative items of the Biden agenda is noteworthy, especially given that Biden’s poll numbers are genuinely terrible. — PolitiTweet.org

Given the big GOP bias of the senate map, I think Republicans are ultimately more likely to deal the death blow (probably without much discussion or advance warning) but one way or the other it will happen. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Filibuster norms have been highly unstable for 50+ years, there’s no actual tradition to conserve here, and none of the alternatives to majority rule have a normative basis that anyone can understand (which is one reason the norms keep changing). https://t.co/CqR2oNrIVy https://t.co/53Z8hMBX09 — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Republicans coalescing around the idea that they can’t vote for bills they previously supported because Democrats are moving an unrelated reconciliation bill just further underscores that ultimately the filibuster needs to go. — PolitiTweet.org

I think political science twitter sort of underrates the odds that you could do something successful with third party politics, but you'd need to start with something people actually want not just "third party, policies TK." — PolitiTweet.org

I just keep asking what is the limiting principle of this argument? Should the IRS enforcement budget be $0? https://t.co/rM1Wkd97cY — PolitiTweet.org

Again, the arguments against IRS funding are just copy-and-pasted from left-wing police abolitionists. It's remarkable. Republicans sincerely believe rich criminals should just be able to break tax laws with total impunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Funding the regular police reduces crime which is good, but it comes at a net fiscal cost to state/local government. Funding the tax police specifically reduces tax crime, which is good but comes at negative fiscal cost to the federal government. — PolitiTweet.org
Ryan Ellis @RyanLEllis
@mattyglesias How is being against an additional $120 billion for the IRS equivalent to wanting to defund the police?

Again, just wild to me that Republicans are all-in on police abolition. — PolitiTweet.org

Even in New Jersey — even in Josh Gottheimer's district — most people don't itemize and $10,000 is a lot of money. — PolitiTweet.org

Lifting the SALT cap would benefit about 9 percent of households nationally. There is some geographical variation in that, but even in New Jersey we are talking about fewer than a quarter of households. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Basically the story with the SALT cap is that Paul Ryan and Dave Camp were right on the merits but sold it their caucus with a grossly exaggerated "own the libs" argument, which has confused a handful of blue state Dems into believing they actually got owned. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In West Virginia, the average taxpayer woud save $0 from raising the SALT cap which is why Manchin opposes it. But if you take a richer state like CA, the average taxpayer saves $0 so things look different. And in a really high tax state like NJ it rises all the way to $0. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I feel confident that the reason the bill saves the federal black lung disease fund is precisely because Manchin is looking out for his West Virginia constituents. Conservatives, despite occasional rhetorical stabs at populism, remain all-in on plutocracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I acknowledge that’s neither here nor there as a policy matter, but linguistically the whole point of characterizing it as carried interest is to acknowledge it to the compensation a ship’s captain receives for his work. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The origins of the carry interest concept (which have nothing to do with finance) make it clear that it’s labor compensation. https://t.co/B5ICLES3bm — PolitiTweet.org

It’s east to see why Menendez is hung up on this given that average resident of New Jersey would save $0 per year in taxes from lifting the SALT cap. — PolitiTweet.org

@TrevonDLogan @DocDre @BrendanNyhan Something I really liked about this book on US democracy in comparative context is that it tries to take this point seriously — viewing America as an unusual case of a new democracy with an old constitution. https://t.co/MMTria0iRZ — PolitiTweet.org
