Note also that most of the people telling us monopolization is the key driver of rising prices are the people who until recently were complaining that antitrust doctrine was excessively focused on low prices! — PolitiTweet.org

How is it that a major climate treaty got ratified by the senate yesterday with bipartisan majorities and you heard almost nothing about it until the day it happened? Secret Congress! https://t.co/KY96HLI8fu — PolitiTweet.org

The “MAGA Republicans” are zany but also on a fundamental level devoted to regressive tax cuts and (if necessary) paying for them by yanking away people’s Medicaid and cutting Social Security — the continuities with Bushism are worth dwelling on. https://t.co/bfGtM4S9cc — PolitiTweet.org

That’s not to say the scandals and outlandish behavior don’t hurt Trump, but I think we long ago past a saturation point on that stuff. What’s still out there are Obama-Trump crossover voters who don’t like hard-right economics. — PolitiTweet.org

The thing that happened during Trump’s presidency that brought his numbers to their lowest point was when the media focus was on ACA repeal and regressive tax cuts, not scandals or outlandish behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the First Amendment there was also edgier stuff in alt-weeklies and small circulation magazines (and even edgier stuff in ’zines) and obscures books for sale in indie stores, but most content flowed through narrowly constrained channels. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

A lot of people operate with a very unrealistic picture of what the twentieth century media climate was like — we didn’t have “content moderation” as a concept but the range of views available on television or mainstream newspapers was incredibly constrained. — PolitiTweet.org

I’d go further to say that given the scale of the negative shock to the European energy sector, a plummeting Euro is probably the best way to spread the pain fairly — trying too hard to stabilize the currency would make things worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin's pipeline is a small price to pay for getting that done — so small in fact that it's not clear there's any price at all when you consider the foreign policy angles. https://t.co/wbcTnK7sM1 — PolitiTweet.org
