But, yes, it is “telling” that Walker is trying to take away rights from others in order to impose a theological view that he doesn’t actually live by — it’s also just not great to put huge liars in power. https://t.co/MECAtgg0Wa — PolitiTweet.org

Shouldn’t one of our takeaways from the Russia-Ukraine war be that nuclear weapons are kind of overrated? Moscow has incurred heavy opportunity costs to assemble this arsenal that’s scary but not useful at achieving key security goals. Or consider the US in Afghanistan… — PolitiTweet.org

The analysis that bad zoning rules are bad is much older than ten years, but the conventional wisdom until recently was that it was a futile or obscure cause not worth investing in. https://t.co/Df2M4B5V4f https://t.co/Qg3lE8xC18 — PolitiTweet.org

@kdrum That seems right to me; I think in the aggregate things are “worse” than ever because the world is richer so more people can afford to do tourism (and world population is higher too) so the very most popular spots are crowded. Can’t blame the internet for this one. — PolitiTweet.org

The idea that it advances racial equity to let people drive recklessly with fake tags and total impunity strikes me as a pretty ill-considered. — PolitiTweet.org
