Someone says to me: "Show the children a game." I teach them gambling with dice, and the other says "I didn't mean that sort of game." Must the exclusion of the game with dice have come before his mind when he gave me the order? — PolitiTweet.org

RT @the_vello: Dr. Oz supports a ban on abortions with no exceptions for rape or incest. This is what we are up against in PA. — PolitiTweet.org

I disagree with Justice Thomas and think all these rulings are good. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s also just remembering in general that there are worse things in life than failing to make progress. When you lose elections, as happened in 2016, the other guys get to govern and bad things happen. Caution and winning are underrated! https://t.co/IntqBu9ED8 — PolitiTweet.org

Legal abortion *in the first trimester* is a clearly popular position and it accounts for the vast majority of abortions. We should aim for that plus reasonable health carve-out for later, as in most of Europe. https://t.co/fyGDtdMs4g https://t.co/6kmu9kqidW — PolitiTweet.org

Dobbs is out and the future of abortion rights is going to play out in congress and state legislatures — we need a strategy to win. https://t.co/fyGDtdMs4g — PolitiTweet.org

Depriving public spaces of seating in order to deter homeless people from using them as shelter seems much worse for everyone than re-legalizing the cheapest forms of housing. https://t.co/VkRm1FeWAo — PolitiTweet.org

“Build a food court right by the train station” is a totally reasonable idea (people like to buy food before boarding a train) but seems like a canonical example of an idea that should not really require tons of public funds. https://t.co/v1NQEruCP7 — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
“We built an expensive new train station!” “So you can run more trains now or run them faster?” “No, it’s just a nicer place for people to wait.” “So there are seats to wait in?” “No.” https://t.co/GcA08bdKUb — PolitiTweet.org

I’m concerned that the Supreme Courts’s willingness to set aside precedent, while ignoring federalism and contravening originalist best practices, will erode Americans’ confidence in constitutional law as an objective discipline. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidshor @SpecialPuppy1 Some people want to believe that, others lie for personal gain and career advancement. Would be good to have x-ray vision that clarified who needs persuading vs shaming. — PolitiTweet.org

Antigen negative today! I would like to thank the Pfizer Corporation for making the symptoms mild and brief, and @TaylorLorenz and HBO Max for keeping me entertained. — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody wants to go negative on America’s parents, but the disaster of the lost school year was mostly a case of people getting what they wanted! — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I really wanted remote school to be toxically unpopular, but my favorite center-right education outlet found that parents whose kids were remote learning were mostly satisfied with it — even though they acknowledged it was bad! https://t.co/T1YcDemm4R https://t.co/XkwggVS0Ke — PolitiTweet.org

And though Bowser just got re-elected here in DC, to the extent there was a backlash to her approach to Covid-era schooling it was from the side that felt she was too aggressive in pushing in-person schooling. It was a case of the masses being wrong. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
When DCPS partially reopened for in-person learning, they had trouble filling all the seats because parents were afraid to send their kids. https://t.co/eNmtZvoEyS — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think there’s been some forgetting of what actually happened with Covid school closures — the “liberal media” was pretty critical of the blue state approach (here’s me in April 2020) but public opinion was pro-closure. The voters were the problem! https://t.co/ffbN5mh22T — PolitiTweet.org

We are also learning various bits of subsidiary information, like about the depth of Ron Johnson’s involvement in an effort to steal the election. — PolitiTweet.org

Also while I think the sophisticated things to say is that none of this impacts the political situation, it actually does seem to have contributed to DeSantis’ growing clout relative to Trump in intra-GOP debates. What that amounts to remains to be seen, but it’s something. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
That all happened, but we’ve now seen documented in detail that Mike Pence and other officials in the administration were under very serious pressure to act differently and that a non-trivial share of the Trump team was involved in this. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Trump made a much more serious effort than I’d previously realized to get Pence and congressional republicans to block certification. My previous understanding had been that it was mostly irresponsible public-facing communication that inspired suckers to riot. — PolitiTweet.org
Paul Graham @paulg
@mattyglesias @michelleinbklyn What have you learned?
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Agree with @michelleinbklyn — the 1/6 hearings have been good, I’ve been surprised by how much I personally have learned. https://t.co/IsclR8vBrT — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve had first grade classes lumping in kids who did and didn’t attend kindergarten, based on pretending not to see that the 2020-2021 school year basically didn’t happen for a significant minority of the population. Makes hard classroom management work unnecessarily harder. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
And what I think is worse is we’ve now saddled teachers with an impossible job by not re-assessing where kids were post-pandemic and assigning them to cohorts based on the amount of schooling they actually did. — PolitiTweet.org
