Did normal one hit wonder consumers even have access to those movies? I feel like I maybe had to go to Kim’s Underground to get them (uh…definitely not because of a Barenaked Ladies song…) — doesn’t seem like something Blockbuster would stock. — PolitiTweet.org

The data journalism I want to see — did the extensive radio airplay of “One Week” back in 1998 lead to an increase in rentals of Akira Kurosawa movies? — PolitiTweet.org

Good @MattBruenig piece on paid leave proposals. When Dems' reluctance to set priorities meets the political difficulty of raising taxes, they end up with proposals for a dozen badly designed programs instead of one good one. https://t.co/tBwtISdELH — PolitiTweet.org

Boosting the Trumpier candidate in GOP primaries for PA-Gov and MD-Gov is morally a bit dubious but these are at least winnable races for Democrats. Going against Pete Meijer given the losses facing House Dems is just insane. Spend the money defending your incumbents! — PolitiTweet.org

It's very significant that Trump's first big legislative push was for a Paul Ryan-authored bill that would have massively cut Medicaid. And it's significant that DeSantis voted for those cuts and has stood against Medicaid expansion. https://t.co/KZPJ2AposL — PolitiTweet.org

I think Democrats have consistently struggled a bit to make this turn. But the *point* of the demagoguery and nativism and racism and authoritarianism and so forth isn't to make woke librarians' lives harder, it's to do welfare state rollback. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump himself is a bit sui generis, but it's important for more people to be clear that the Thiel version of pro-Trump "populism" is just "seize power and do welfare state rollback." — PolitiTweet.org

Something I think a lot of people don't understand about New Deal and postwar politics is the population was dominated by an educational stratum of high school dropouts that barely exists at all in today's electorate. https://t.co/jgza8iMPVr — PolitiTweet.org

Especially worth discussing as it relates to crime and opioid overdoses when these are in the news — getting people access to addiction treatment is very important. https://t.co/92djCTYsaQ https://t.co/yt04blqLzQ — PolitiTweet.org

There's been a weird ping-pong from old wrong ideas like "improving the academic rigor of K-12 schools will solve all socioeconomic inequality" to exciting new wrong ideas like "academic rigor in K-12 schools has no value because it won't solve all socioeconomic inequality." — PolitiTweet.org
