I sometimes apologize for things because I’m sincerely sorry — the world is full of jerks who don’t care but to me it’s important to do if you’re actually sorry about something or you’ve let people down. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine if instead of passing the Affordable Care Act in 2010 (too controversial and unpopular!) Democrats had waited until 2019 at which point they threatened a government shutdown unless Trump & McConnell agreed to a big Medicaid expansion. That would be weird behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

What is the non-cynical explanation of why congressional republicans only push hard for spending cuts when there’s a Democratic president?
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
To my eye the “apology” totally failed to meet that bar, it read like a six year-old apologizing because his parents made him. Of course I can’t read minds, apologies that seem insincere can be sincere and vice versa. But faced with a tough persuasion task he barely tried. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Under that circumstance, you face an unusually high bar if you want to genuinely persuade people that you have genuinely changed your mind rather than that you are just giving in to the exact dynamic you described right from the get-go — it’s a tough problem. — PolitiTweet.org

In other words he’s not only saying he believes the bad thing, he’s saying that he simultaneously believes he should pretend that he does not believe the bad thing for instrumental purposes because it will make people mad. Well, yeah, it did make people mad! — PolitiTweet.org

One unusual aspect of Bostrom-gate is that the phrasing of the original email makes it very hard to credibly apologize for because the original text is explicitly saying that he knows this is the kind of thing he pragmatically should not be saying. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@asymmetricinfo @MichaelRStrain I just don't really understand what that explains. Under both Trump and Bush they passed tax cuts because they believe in tax cuts — fair enough. But why were there no government shutdown fights motivated by a push for spending cuts? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Seriously, the employer-provided insurance tax exclusion is an absurd policy — but if you tug at the thread too hard the whole system starts to unravel so everyone is hesitant. https://t.co/CoHdd8S2Xe https://t.co/0VQvZwN9IU — PolitiTweet.org

Very niche health insurance reform I'm getting into these days — Medicaid beneficiaries should be allowed to purchase supplemental coverage. https://t.co/9zTkITH9tJ https://t.co/dT5TdGyuaY — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@MichaelRStrain But that's to my point — congressional republicans didn't cut spending in 2003-2006 or in 2017-2018 when they had majorities and a GOP president who wouldn't signed spending cuts. https://t.co/zNPUL9FGZr — PolitiTweet.org

1. Food stamps instead of cash benefits. 2. Opaque and inequitable tax subsidy for health insurance rather than direct universal provision of a basic insurance plan. 3. Still no clear commitment from Warner Brothers to adapt the Dune sequels. — PolitiTweet.org

We should erect more statues that celebrate contemporary political values while eschewing edgy aesthetics, like this memorial to Black Civil War soldiers that went up near my house in 1998. https://t.co/m5UhpdXkny — PolitiTweet.org

@ErikRM_ My criticism of Ron DeSantis is that as a member of congress he repeatedly voted to privatize Medicare and enact sweeping cuts in Medicaid benefits while as governor he’s stood firm against Medicaid expansion. I do also think he’s too short and weird-looking to be president. — PolitiTweet.org
