I've been trying to be nice, but next week I'm going for a Days of Awe reboot and I'm planning to unleash Jewish Interruption Power and rebalance the scales. — PolitiTweet.org

Note also that most of the people telling us monopolization is the key driver of rising prices are the people who until recently were complaining that antitrust doctrine was excessively focused on low prices! — PolitiTweet.org

How is it that a major climate treaty got ratified by the senate yesterday with bipartisan majorities and you heard almost nothing about it until the day it happened? Secret Congress! https://t.co/KY96HLI8fu — PolitiTweet.org

“We should address inflation with tools other than interest rate hikes and higher unemployment” seems right to me but you most often hear it from politicians who wanted stimulative debt forgiveness and are also against supply-side regulatory reforms so… — PolitiTweet.org

The “MAGA Republicans” are zany but also on a fundamental level devoted to regressive tax cuts and (if necessary) paying for them by yanking away people’s Medicaid and cutting Social Security — the continuities with Bushism are worth dwelling on. https://t.co/bfGtM4S9cc — PolitiTweet.org

That’s not to say the scandals and outlandish behavior don’t hurt Trump, but I think we long ago past a saturation point on that stuff. What’s still out there are Obama-Trump crossover voters who don’t like hard-right economics. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

The thing that happened during Trump’s presidency that brought his numbers to their lowest point was when the media focus was on ACA repeal and regressive tax cuts, not scandals or outlandish behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the First Amendment there was also edgier stuff in alt-weeklies and small circulation magazines (and even edgier stuff in ’zines) and obscures books for sale in indie stores, but most content flowed through narrowly constrained channels. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

A lot of people operate with a very unrealistic picture of what the twentieth century media climate was like — we didn’t have “content moderation” as a concept but the range of views available on television or mainstream newspapers was incredibly constrained. — PolitiTweet.org

I’d go further to say that given the scale of the negative shock to the European energy sector, a plummeting Euro is probably the best way to spread the pain fairly — trying too hard to stabilize the currency would make things worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin's pipeline is a small price to pay for getting that done — so small in fact that it's not clear there's any price at all when you consider the foreign policy angles. https://t.co/wbcTnK7sM1 — PolitiTweet.org

To make the renewable energy buildout work, we need to make it easier to get permission to build transmission lines to move power from where the wind and sunshine is to where people live. https://t.co/lCkqFmV1MU — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

We need to bring this energy to the problem: — Use the SPR to stabilize prices and ensure America rather than Saudi controls global oil markets — Permit more interregional electrical transmission — Export Joe Manchin's natural gas instead of Putin's https://t.co/rbOMmvENuL — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I'm not sure Oil Production Champion is the legacy Biden wanted for himself, but stabilizing the price of oil using the SPR can link together three pillars of his administration — full employment, the contest with Russia, and the climate transition. https://t.co/15NSCF3Atm https://t.co/KO5wbpJ7EY — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I think some in the administration underrate their own power here. America is the Saudi Arabia of oil, and if we are willing to acknowledge that this commodity remains too important to be left purely to the market we can seize pricing power from OPEC. https://t.co/15NSCF32DO https://t.co/J3R57chIOA — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Biden and @ENERGY should use put options to commit to refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at a relatively high price point — give domestic producers insurance against price crashes to ensure investment remains strong. https://t.co/15NSCF3Atm — PolitiTweet.org

I get that there are people who think blocking new natural gas infrastructure is more important than facilitating new renewable transmission infrastructure, but those people are wrong. https://t.co/FySkBg6nhE — PolitiTweet.org
