An MPDC detective knocked on my door earlier this evening and said he saw I have a Simplisafe camera and asked if I had footage of something that happened last night. Turned out I did, and I was happy to share evidence with the authorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Are people still doing anti-billionaire takes or is that played out? Some of my favorite companies were founded by billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve found House of the Dragon a little boring so far but I’m looking forward to tuning in again tonight mostly because I enjoy all the HOTD-themed podcasts. — PolitiTweet.org

I saw an Instagram Reel promoting a “food hack” that was literally just putting pesto on ramen noodles. — PolitiTweet.org

This has been an integral and well-known part of Biden’s persona for literally decades before he became president. This was Biden the story CNN ran the day of Trump’s inauguration. https://t.co/y0PC4gwhdZ — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Every administration generates a dumb “the president vacations too much” critique, but I do think characterizing Biden’s longstanding habit of commuting between Delaware & DC as “vacation” is breaking new ground. https://t.co/owhy0JIRf3 — PolitiTweet.org

America was super-racist by this metric very recently but there’s been a ton of improvement https://t.co/EQqDOkDJUi — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans sad because inflation is down seems like relevant information about how they will contribute to governance if in office https://t.co/Bjlz30ABT3 — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

At any rate, the point of all this fashy cosplaying (or worse) is just to cut the welfare state rather than admitting that markets need to be balanced with some sense of security and guarantee of shared benefits. https://t.co/bfGtM4S9cc — PolitiTweet.org

I love the idea that the only alternative a person could come up with to “libertarianism” or “totalitarian leftism” is Viktor Orban rather than, like, every normal politician in every country. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayonnaise? Disgusting. But this creamy, flavorful aioli I whipped up by blending eggs, neutral oil, salt, acid, and herbs? That’s the good stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t help but feel patriotic reading a story like this. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 https://t.co/8p065G6TLK — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin Well he’s good is the main thing. I don’t really know how he’s rated. But I think lesser Spielberg (Bridge of Spies, War of the Worlds) tends to get overlooked just because it’s such a long career at this point. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@MattZeitlin Spielberg is good, though. Dare I say underrated? — PolitiTweet.org

@TheZvi They’re underperforming secular private schools, which doesn’t seem unreasonable — PolitiTweet.org

Going all-in on my new ebike lifestyle — just got a pannier bag, some cargo straps, a phone holder. Have more hex wrenches than an IKEA warehouse. https://t.co/gEOb8JBM8W — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnArnoldFndtn It should still give us relevant information about the impact on labor supply which seems important — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

But failing to do it can also make the whole structure collapse. When oil was spiking, Biden looked dead in the water. Then it fell and Dark Brandon rose. We need to hedge now against future bad luck — guarantee that prices won’t fall too much to prevent them from spiking. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Biden’s agenda right now has three big pillars — the rapid jobs recovery from Covid, the western alliance against Russia, and landmark climate legislation. Stabilizing short-term oil prices is the glue that can hold that legacy together. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Thanks to innovation, technology, the IRA, the IIJA and other measures we can see a way clear to a post-oil global economy. And that’s good. But it naturally means there’s a reluctance to make risky investments in oil even as oil prices are a crucial short-term economic issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

We need continued creative thinking on energy supply as Russia continues to roil the world — including a clear commitment to bail the oil companies out it prices crash so they’ll invest if they rise. https://t.co/JLBWE59XZL — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MaryPeltola: Renewing the Child Tax Credit to reduce child poverty by over 40%? That’s something I think we can all get behind. — PolitiTweet.org

I used to think Stephen Harper offered a constructive model for American Republicans to try to emulate, but instead the Canadian right is going GOP. https://t.co/hoL1s9EwZN — PolitiTweet.org

Hasidic schools in New York State compared to other Jewish schools, to private schools in general, and to high-poverty public schools. https://t.co/a5u3atsI5R https://t.co/IvSAQxQL3o — PolitiTweet.org

They could be like an even bigger Canada — rich, peaceful, smug about global warming — and everyone could admire the peerless design of the Moscow Metro. — PolitiTweet.org
