This @perrybaconjr column reminds me that there's a fundamental ambiguity in the way we talk about these factional divides — prog vs mod as the names of sets of ideas, and prog vs mod as the names of sets of people. https://t.co/RtGpX3EBfP — PolitiTweet.org

I've seen a lot of libertarian college professors transition to becoming more straightforward conservatives because the donors to and administrators of voluntary civil society organizations they are affiliated with started adopting ideas they don't like. It's kind of funny. — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of progressives have talked about finding ways to curb inflation that don't just rely on higher interest rates and weakening the labor market. But what EA and now the White House are doing is genuinely walking the walk, not just doubling down on longstanding policy ideas. — PolitiTweet.org

This is totally wrong, in the United States immigrant life expectancy exceeds native-born life expectancy (I think because immigrants don't fully adopt American dietary habits) — if we limited to natives, US underperformance would be even more extreme. https://t.co/gLX3dfcvFi — PolitiTweet.org

In general, critiques of GDP are overrated. Only real problem is the Ireland/Luxembourg tax-motivated profit-shifting quirk and that itself highlights a genuine flaw in EU taxation policy that ought to be addressed. https://t.co/cLKX5EVerI https://t.co/4yhROmWxAu — PolitiTweet.org

Did normal one hit wonder consumers even have access to those movies? I feel like I maybe had to go to Kim’s Underground to get them (uh…definitely not because of a Barenaked Ladies song…) — doesn’t seem like something Blockbuster would stock. — PolitiTweet.org

Good @MattBruenig piece on paid leave proposals. When Dems' reluctance to set priorities meets the political difficulty of raising taxes, they end up with proposals for a dozen badly designed programs instead of one good one. https://t.co/tBwtISdELH — PolitiTweet.org

Boosting the Trumpier candidate in GOP primaries for PA-Gov and MD-Gov is morally a bit dubious but these are at least winnable races for Democrats. Going against Pete Meijer given the losses facing House Dems is just insane. Spend the money defending your incumbents! — PolitiTweet.org

It's very significant that Trump's first big legislative push was for a Paul Ryan-authored bill that would have massively cut Medicaid. And it's significant that DeSantis voted for those cuts and has stood against Medicaid expansion. https://t.co/KZPJ2AposL — PolitiTweet.org

I think Democrats have consistently struggled a bit to make this turn. But the *point* of the demagoguery and nativism and racism and authoritarianism and so forth isn't to make woke librarians' lives harder, it's to do welfare state rollback. — PolitiTweet.org
