Republicans have not become civil libertarians in the Trump Era, and they’re not supportive of any kind of systemic reforms to the national security apparatus. The tinfoil hats come out if and only if these institutions act against Trump. There’s no MAGA Church Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

As always, many good points raised by @DouthatNYT but what I think he glosses over is the extent to which the new conservative skepticism of the powers that be seems wholly opportunistic. https://t.co/oTrPqjnggf — PolitiTweet.org

There are all these big picture ideas for Twitter but what it needs is banal product improvements — why give me a “20 minutes til the Fed decision” tweet five hours after it was sent? Dumb stuff like this happens all the time. Just make it better! https://t.co/AhvcwJbjHk https://t.co/OhT3j2Dw9l — PolitiTweet.org

You know what else costs $8/month but can also be had for a mere $80/year or at discounted prices for students, teachers, government employees and military personnel? https://t.co/ZjHPTIscdb — PolitiTweet.org

If you think trying to cure inflation purely through pressure on interest-sensitive sectors is a bad idea (sounds bad to me) then let me introduce you to my friend fiscal policy. https://t.co/M703JcuGWC — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Sort of amazing that the pandemic surge in goods demand and subsequent inflation just put durables prices back to where they were before outsourcing made everything cheap. https://t.co/xckpVY14vl https://t.co/nKj3mJ8pvS — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
But Pepsico raising the price of soda to expand margins *just is* excessively hot demand operating in a market where it would make no sense to do price controls and rationing. https://t.co/fep7ATb9zL — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes a situation arises where you really do want to look at price controls and rationing to cope with an emergency — I think the European natural gas situation qualifies. https://t.co/TJQHkD9L9Q — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
It's true that companies could voluntarily decide to maintain constant margins despite surging demand, but that would generate shortages or need to be addressed by creating an explicit rationing system. https://t.co/xckpVY14vl — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Excess demand and profit-seeking by greedy corporations are not competing explanations for inflation — what happens when demand soars above productive capacity is that prices rise and profits go up. https://t.co/xckpVY14vl — PolitiTweet.org

Descriptive representation — a longstanding and totally legitimate part of democratic politics — has not traditionally relied on gaming college admissions schemes, you just pick a diverse group of people. https://t.co/ZKmyc75GxE https://t.co/1IIMpOk7iS — PolitiTweet.org

Now if the plan is to just tank and not talk about it, that might work! But I fear we’re going to get a lot of strident denunciations of a very popular Court ruling and no plan of action other than to encourage institutions to foot-drag on compliance and face more lawsuits. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In particular I think Democrats don’t have a clear awareness of how unpopular the progressive view on this is and how much they need to pivot hard to a totally different way of addressing equality concerns, not just finding cute gotchas. https://t.co/ZKmyc75GxE https://t.co/iRNCMFcYqD — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I get the sense that Democratic electeds and allied progressive groups have done essentially no war-gaming on how to react when the Supreme Court strikes down affirmative action. Here are my suggestions. https://t.co/ZKmyc75GxE — PolitiTweet.org

We need to make it legal to build more and more diverse housing types, not legalize sleeping in parks and turning public spaces into drug markets. https://t.co/VkRm1FeWAo — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of the dysfunction @michelleinbklyn wrote about in Oregon yesterday comes down to lazily giving up on flawed systems for maintaining order rather than trying to make them work better. https://t.co/6qNb8DykEE — PolitiTweet.org

But you do still need cops to enforce the rules against people using fake tags and reject this idea that letting reckless drivers speed with impunity is racial equity. — PolitiTweet.org

I do agree that in traffic enforcement we see evidence of a discriminatory pattern in stops, which is one reason why the shift to cameras and automated enforcement is a good idea. https://t.co/2gP4lkf1UO — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
To be clear — enforcing the rules and making people pay fares is not “pretextual” (nor is enforcing traffic laws pretextual). I am saying there is an important co-benefit in that you catch people guilty of other things. https://t.co/81PAk3VgYF — PolitiTweet.org

Bonus content in the post — the free fare fad is a dumb way of giving up on the entire of quality mass transit. Of saying “yeah our service will be terrible but you’ll be getting what you lay for.” Reject it. Run good, useful service and collect fares. https://t.co/81PAk3VgYF — PolitiTweet.org
