One of the main ways that effective proactive policing works to reduce crime is that it deters people from walking around with concealed guns. If you make that legal, it doesn’t work. — PolitiTweet.org

Did New York pass some law specifically requiring hotels to have deeper setbacks than other buildings? — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @AlanMCole It’s B plus I think most of the people involved in this stuff sincerely lacking the context of the 2014, 2010, and 2006 races to see how much less polarized this one was. She absolutely was the rich white candidate when she first won! — PolitiTweet.org

What I think we are seeing is some signs of DC politics developing more ideological structure, and less pure racial polarization. — PolitiTweet.org

Look at Bowser's first race when she beat Vince Gray. Here she is clearly the "white" candidate, who beats Gray by swinging just enough majority-Black precincts in Ward 4 to put a mostly-white electoral coalition over the top. https://t.co/aTlxzqBa4h — PolitiTweet.org

What's striking is this map does *not* exhibit the stark east/west, black/white, poor/rich polarization that we've seen in most DC mayoral elections. Instead R. White dominated in the gentrification frontier and Bowser did well all around it. — PolitiTweet.org

@Max_Fisher Of course if we beat a foreign country in war and then write a new constitution for it, we do not transplant these dumb institutions. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing in politics is that I think partisans underrate the extent to which they just enjoy winning. If you'd gone to Republicans in 2012 and said "just abandon conservative positions on Social Security and Medicare and you'll win" they'd have said "no! principles matter!" — PolitiTweet.org

I actually really enjoy Brussels, the only city in the world that outpaces Washington DC in its per capita concentration of smart bureaucrats and obsessive political weirdos. — PolitiTweet.org

That said, despite Belgium's historical crimes I can still appreciate the high points of Belgian culture. https://t.co/C3VPYjjKeE — PolitiTweet.org

A fully-stimulated economy with tight labor markets has a lot of benefits, but one thing that happens in that situation is it becomes a lot more important to get the details right on policy because all the tradeoffs become much more real. — PolitiTweet.org

I think if Trump loses the 2024 nomination, he'll fight like hell for the GOP ticket given his sincere belief in America First policies and his devotion to the interests of his supporters who've been looked down on by elites for too long. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

At the moment these are offsetting discrepancies so it sort of doesn’t matter. But as the tightening cycle continues, the lines will cross and it makes a big difference. https://t.co/FegHW0ydjw — PolitiTweet.org
