It’s interesting that the valence of “what white voters do matters a lot because most Americans are white” bounces around according to exactly how you frame the point. — PolitiTweet.org

Now more than ever it would be a good time to rezone in the places where the market price of housing greatly exceeds the replacement cost of existing structures — bunch of newly idle construction labor and material becoming available if you permit its use. — PolitiTweet.org

Ideally you would actually do something to make the website more usable etc etc etc but it would be really low-touch for Janet Yellen to just like tweet that you can protect your family and the country from inflation by buying these bonds. https://t.co/k3k4EsGy1v — PolitiTweet.org

More seriously, I think a pretty easy thing everyone could do to reduce inflation would be to promote public awareness of I Series bonds. — PolitiTweet.org

The other thing you can potentially do to help the economy is move in with your girlfriend — it’s the best chance of stopping Trump from coming back to the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

To fix inflation everyone needs to increase their savings rate by buying up shares of these newly discounted stocks. — PolitiTweet.org

@lionel_trolling I think you should hold out for a fellowship from a rival think tank before you fire back, otherwise all you’re doing is boosting his impact stats. — PolitiTweet.org

Relatedly most of my ideas about politics are the ones Chuck Schumer espoused fifteen years ago — there’s only like ten ideas around in the world and we all just cycle between them. https://t.co/YznfSL4alJ — PolitiTweet.org

Excited to take my kid to see his pod hero ⁦@mikeduncan⁩ tonight — still cannot convince him to give Bad Takes a try, but he loves history. https://t.co/kA7Jo2IOLi — PolitiTweet.org

With @elonmusk as an owner, if a high-profile content moderation decision is made that conservatives vocally disagree with they will have a friendly voice to appeal to. That’s a real difference but not necessarily a large change to most people’s daily experience. — PolitiTweet.org

I think people should brace themselves for the possibility that there’s a big round of layoffs and not that much change. https://t.co/Us30jbUp9p — PolitiTweet.org

@MuseZack @jessesingal My argument is it was based on a flawed analogy to Black voters’ behavior where self-described moderates really do vote for Democrats by incredibly lopsided margins because they believe the GOP is too kind to racists. — PolitiTweet.org

Double-barreled message, Chuck Grassley is extreme on abortion and also extremely old. https://t.co/PaSTcID7rI — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats did great with Hispanic voters in 2012, which led progressives to believe that a growing Latino population would make it possible for Dems shift positions leftward without losing support ... a dream that is now dying. https://t.co/qvvSBjo6PF — PolitiTweet.org

What about this policy is possibly going to improve the quality of either policing or health care services? — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

This is a doomed hope on a million levels, but I wish we could get less coverage of this topic through a culture war lens and more from the lens of America's overall highly commercialized, profit-oriented health care system. https://t.co/FliD2zyDao — PolitiTweet.org

This is great news and an important study, but I think it's important to understand that the screening/assessment these kids went through is more stringent than what's practiced at some US clinics. https://t.co/1L1pTE2hU9 — PolitiTweet.org
