Back at the Kerrville Walmart, a great example of the mom and pop retailers that make our communities great. https://t.co/ayVQbaN3uT — PolitiTweet.org

By solving coordination problems, creating more holidays does more good than trying to give people flexible vacation days https://t.co/TDVnRG9HaN https://t.co/oQBNfRTxYA — PolitiTweet.org

@SpecialPuppy1 I don’t think it’s less attention; YIMBY politics is just much weaker in LA than in San Francisco or San Diego. — PolitiTweet.org

Okay I agree with this. No more speculation from me — but I’d sure like to know. — PolitiTweet.org

@nbeaudrot I’m thinking more progress reports on the Iranian nuclear program, where the risk is revealing something about our sources and methods. The people in charge of this stuff are big on protecting sources and methods. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Though it is certainly possible this is linked to Trumpworld’s longstanding interests in selling US nuclear info to the Saudis, who sure do seem to want him back in office. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Yes reading between the lines of the piece it sounds like they’re saying they were looking for information about *foreign* nuclear weapons that was intercepted (“signals intelligence”) by American intelligence agencies. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re going to illegal pilfer classified secrets on the way out the White House door, I think you should grab the stuff about aliens and UFOs. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I think I have one of Vox Media’s XLR cables still in my basement, basically the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

If the FBI can stop a former president from leaving classified nuclear weapons information at his beach house, they can do it to you too. Chilling. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Who among us doesn’t have a few nuclear codes from old jobs stashed around the house somewhere? https://t.co/gKQUfHHawO — PolitiTweet.org

It’s good and reassuring that the Fed’s inflation containment is showing signs of working, but it won’t work if you back off of it at the first sign of success. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Since I was having fun with dumbass rightists this morning who don’t know how to read a CPI report, I should say that I don’t think one largely energy-driven month of good inflation news should change the Fed’s approach — I’d do another big .75 hike and keep on keeping on. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

“How Republicans plan to reduce inflation” could be a good segment for Fox News if they ever decide to pivot off the anti-FBI messaging. https://t.co/I973esyu0M — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@Itsjoeco What kind of spending reductions do you have in mind? — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@ModeledBehavior @DouthatNYT As a citizen and especially as a journalist who seeks to inform other citizens, I would sincerely like to know how Republicans plan to influence public policy if they win in November — it seems at least as important as the widely covered issue of their plans for Hunter Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@bksnav @DouthatNYT So is the plan to do anti-checks and confiscate $2,000 from each household? — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I think that’s broadly correct but I also expect that if I wrote “Republicans’ plan to reduce inflation is to raise taxes on the poor and cut benefits for the middle class” that they’d insist I’m wrong, so I find it a bit confusing. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I take @DouthatNYT’s point that it’s normal for the out-party to be a little fuzzy. But Republicans say inflation is the biggest problem in the country so I assume they have some ideas to reduce it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I don’t think banning abortion and cutting the FBI budget are going to move the needle very much. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

You’d think they’d write a bill that’s like the “America First Actual Inflation Reduction Plan,” put it through Penn-Wharton or some other credible model, show it’s more effective than Biden’s plan, and run on a compelling vision for America. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

What are Republicans’ main ideas about how to reduce inflation? — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

They’ll do anything in pursuit of impunity not just for Trump personally but for a whole class of shady rich guys — PolitiTweet.org
