Honestly, Italy does pretty well on my personal pet issues and their problems seem to be mostly elsewhere (tax evasion, inefficient court system, idk) from what I understand of the research. — PolitiTweet.org

1. Icewater 2. Tax reform so it’s not so unfavorable to married women working 3. Give the EU what it wants on this stupid beach vendor issue 4. Second passante tunnel in Milan 5. Legalize Uber 6. More childcare centers 7. Substacker visa for me and @lionel_trolling — PolitiTweet.org

Fun 20-minute visit to Florence (never fear, I’ve been before..) to switch trains — onward to Rome on the Frecciarossa! — PolitiTweet.org

Oh I guess they are building one — good plan! https://t.co/xX7yVnRIZ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I get that you can’t tunnel under central Florence but it seems like it would be much better to have a through-station there instead of the high speed trains needing to turn around. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s interesting that global capital isn’t excited by the prospect of a rightwing coalition taking over Italy. https://t.co/jcTfmazYlP — PolitiTweet.org

Amtrak has not yet mastered the miraculous technology of telling you in advance what platform the train will arrive at. https://t.co/0voxg5fbP0 — PolitiTweet.org

Wes Moore beating an incumbent statewide elected official and two (!) Obama cabinet members is pretty impressive. — PolitiTweet.org

Plenty of economic problems in Italy (infamously!) but “a lot of people move to Milan because it’s rich and the city is expanding its mass transit infrastructure at a rapid pace” is pleasantly sensible. https://t.co/atoJyMFoNe — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

In Italy, the population is growing much faster than average in the richest region (Lombardy) because people move there for the relatively high pay. It seems very intuitive until you realize it’s not like that at all in the US thanks to deranged local housing politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Headline focuses on the “rape card” gaffe but imo the larger issue here is the guy saying it’s bad for women to have careers because that promotes abortion. https://t.co/IPxyi5Jvs1 — PolitiTweet.org

@AbiWilks I have discovered on this trip that ice is in fact available for cocktails — it makes the refusal to use it to cool water all the more perverse. The cubes are sitting right there in the aperol spritz! — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

99 degrees (or “37”) out and I’m feeling pretty smug about placing frozen pieces of ice in my drinking water to keep cool — how many more years of climate change until Europeans take up this technology? — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of “WHPA or bust” do the Collins-Murkowski bill. Do a 12-week abortion rights floor. Do a national health of the mother exemption. Do an interstate travel rights bill. Put Republicans on defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Look at republicans scurrying and heading for the hills on this vote — isn’t it a lot more fun to advance bills that unite the Dem caucus and divide the GOP? Even if it doesn’t pass, it highlights extremism and generates good vibes. Try this on abortion. — PolitiTweet.org
