This was a big thing in the mid-nineties, conservative talk radio hosts would urge people to shoot at federal agents. Stuff kind of flipped after 9/11 but I guess we’re back. https://t.co/Ai4KfJ7dqS — PolitiTweet.org

I think urging people to shoot at law enforcement is a bad idea — PolitiTweet.org

@MarcGoldwein @IrvingSwisher I guess to me the inflation impacts seem small but the fact that they exist at all means the distributive impact progressives prefer not to talk about is actually pretty important. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re going to be glad Finland joined NATO when Sanna Marin defeats Putin in a dance-off and forces him to halt the invasion in Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy Oh so now you’ve found an area where you don’t want the Anglosphere to copy European best practices? — PolitiTweet.org

@BenSoskis It is sad the Carnegie Endowment has strayed from the true path when they should be paying me to tweet phonetically. — PolitiTweet.org

Even kids who get taught phonics and learn to read have incredible trouble producing correctly spelled English writing which really bogs down efforts to teach actual composition skills. And God help the kids who are struggling with the phonics. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

As well as giving kids direct instruction in phonics, I think we should be trying to roll out spelling reforms over time so that the foniks gets objektivlē ēzēer ōver tīm. — PolitiTweet.org

@instrumenthull There should be a group of Logan Circle homeowner/boosters who don’t necessarily have anything to do with the school showering the PTO with donations to pay for tutoring etc — PolitiTweet.org

@instrumenthull Not the main point of your paper but it’s amusing to me what a vast sum of home equity in my neighborhood is tied up in the test performance of a tiny group of 10-12 year-olds at our small local elementary school. — PolitiTweet.org

Thread and blog for your reading pleasure. But in one tweet: Biden successfully used SPR release to cap oil price rises, now he should use SPR refilling to put a floor on oil and ensure that US production continues its steady recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

@JakeAnbinder I think they should at least try the idea of a period Bond, where the character is a somewhat racist & misogynistic Cold War spy — like Mad Men but instead of being boring it’s an action/adventure movie. — PolitiTweet.org

We live in a streaming music utopia, but streaming video — while great — is a mess for reasons that are entirely driven by law/policy rather than technology. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes it’s one thing for people to try to make some money but there’s no good reason digital video should be unavailable at any price — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman Maybe Republicans should push for more visas for low-skilled Europeans? — PolitiTweet.org

@nbeaudrot @samth @MattZeitlin Honestly I think the humanists could get themselves out of a jam pretty easily by throwing a bone or two in the direction of the strain of conservatism that likes the great books and talking about the founding fathers. — PolitiTweet.org

There is so much terrible casual party photography from the mid-aughts digital point and shoot era and congress ought to pass an amnesty law preventing any of it from ever being released into the world. — PolitiTweet.org

@JHWeissmann It's interesting that Sirota used a screenshot of @shannonosaka's article but didn't link to the text, since if you read it she turns out to be writing about modeling uncertainty in general and not any flaws in the bill's design. https://t.co/DTI011OAZE https://t.co/RERe7yVE6T — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone who has ever owned the libs by pointing out that nuclear is a good solution to climate change should be cheering loudly for the Inflation Reduction Act. — PolitiTweet.org
