Barnes is a bit of a longshot but certainly a worthier source of money than trying to beat Marjorie Taylor-Greene and some other stuff small donors have fallen for — open your wallets for this one, folks. — PolitiTweet.org

It's too bad there is no way to close the gap between the number of job openings and the number of unemployed people other than to try to generate more unemployment. — PolitiTweet.org

This is probably dumb for some well-known reason but I feel like if the Fed thinks they will need to ultimately hike rates all the way up to 4.5% they should just set them to 4.5% today and then adjust upward or downward from there as needed depending on what happens. — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican plan to fight inflation: 1. Do unspecified spending cuts to reduce the deficit 2. Do unspecified tax cuts to make the deficit bigger again https://t.co/gxezCOetVb — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

If you want to ensure that the burden of anti-inflation policy is shared fairly (and you should!) the thing to do is look to fiscal measures (taxes…) that can get money out of the pocket of affluent people. But realistically that needs to be a broader group than billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

Especially because 0.75% is such a weird number, easier to explain it as a compromise between a 1% faction and a 0.5% faction. — PolitiTweet.org

It would be more fun to have one hawkish dissent and one dovish dissent instead of a unanimous FOMC decision. — PolitiTweet.org

You don't want to just let the children of the Russian elite have a nice vacation in the west while they duck conscription, but if it is possible to deprive the Russian military of cannon fodder that's good. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

The idea of a ban on Russian tourists makes a lot of sense to me, but probably also smart to think about pathways for facilitating defection of potential draftees. — PolitiTweet.org

Marist is sampling the college grad share of the Ohio electorate as 5-10 points higher than they've been historically and concluding "this race is closer than you'd think!" Just guessing based on general principles would be better. https://t.co/2bY2mhVi4T — PolitiTweet.org

My take is that Trafalgar's methods are: (a) Pretty clearly fake (b) Arguably better than most of the media polling that is published — PolitiTweet.org

[Now conversely, I wish the people who held power in academia would change their minds and decide that pure descriptive work is important and alter the incentives because I think it's actually very important] — PolitiTweet.org

"Did it in fact get easier or harder to vote in State X?" is, I think, a question that would be considered kind of boring as a political science research problem. These are the kind of questions we journalists need to answer ourselves rather than outsourcing to datasets. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Pure descriptive work seems to be relatively low status in social sciences. People do it. But the incentives point in the opposite direction and it usually isn't the most "interesting" part of high fliers' career. By contrast, it's the traditional core of journalism. — PolitiTweet.org
