@kombiz I mean the media outlets that keep publishing these polls. If someone as lazy as me can figure out that the campaign groups don’t believe this, surely the big news outlets can. — PolitiTweet.org

I have no memory of watching network television news as a kid, to me news meant CNN and that meant Bernard Shaw. https://t.co/qtG2KSC4yE — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ argues that because it is the executive branch, you cannot assert executive privilege against it. https://t.co/KjUmafOZOD — PolitiTweet.org

A cool twist for House of the Dragon would be if when King Viserys dies all the foreign leaders make respectful statements in his honor and then the succession proceeds without controversy except for a few bad tweets. — PolitiTweet.org

@ppolitics I agree! Very important question. This was my effort at an answer. https://t.co/EM9EKccjSe — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@ppolitics I really doubt that’s the reason — PolitiTweet.org

@pmholling Gotta put in the face time! — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeMitchNH That’s not very nice! — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy Is it all media or is that specific to Axel-Springer? — PolitiTweet.org

Back when I was young and held parties some neocon writer showed up one time as an uninvited friend of a friend and started telling me why I was wrong about stuff, I thought it was extremely rude. If you’re a guest, be nice — if you don’t want to be nice, don’t go. — PolitiTweet.org

I think going to a party at someone’s house and then starting shit is actually kind of abnormal. — PolitiTweet.org

If I were king I might look into unloading some of the UK-based estates and going more global — winter in Jamaica, summer in Newfoundland, hang out in New Zealand during geopolitical crisis. It’s a big Commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org

People have been asking me how Summers reconciles his ideas about secular stagnation with his ideas about ARP and inflation and he’s definitely thought about it, but I’m not sure I get it. — PolitiTweet.org

Not sure a degrowther king is what the UK needs to shake off a decade of economic stagnation. https://t.co/BD2Zx8laxq — PolitiTweet.org

RT @averyfjames: @mattyglesias had an interesting take a while back on how low interest rates allows for reckless populism in both parties.… — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of folks on here have some curious ideas about Queen Elizabeth’s relationship to British imperialism. — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond the battlefield specifics, probably important for Ukraine to show strength of arms while Europe is feeling the squeeze of the gas cutoff — a big part of Russia’s strategy is to get Tucker Carlson etc to argue that the war is hopeless. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Sounds pretty good? — PolitiTweet.org

I feel bad for the smaller Commonwealth Realms (Belize! Tuvalu!) that tend to get left out of the discourse during these constitutional moments. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @lukehklipp: This is like that Highlights magazine game to find the five changes from one picture to the next. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

It’s absolutely true that a lot of the people who ran that campaign were influential in the post-2012 leftward shift. Without, I think, ever really explaining why. https://t.co/GCQQP6LHAc — PolitiTweet.org

This is probably the most interesting thread of today’s Two-Minute Hate because while I don’t think I’ve ever seen Shor claim to have played some huge role in the 2012 campaign, his distinctive argument is Dems should revert to their 2012 issue positions. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrendanNyhan Oz isn’t an immigrant! — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Oz is a Turkish dual citizen but he was born in the USA (just not in Pennsylvania), so while a bit confusing he’s not an immigrant. — PolitiTweet.org

We used to give 10% of Slow Boring revenue to the Maximum Impact Fund, now it will go to the Top Charities Fund instead — same idea, meet urgent health needs for not that much money. — PolitiTweet.org

At least a dozen I would think. — PolitiTweet.org

(For the record, I am a boring 41 year old dad and come by my hatred and resentment of people who throw fun parties honestly — it's not about the politics) — PolitiTweet.org

The NYT runs the superficially inexplicable party article precisely because you are mad about it. — PolitiTweet.org

It's hard to defend constitutional monarchy in terms of first principles, but the empirical track record seems good. — PolitiTweet.org
