Today we tend to shorthand high school graduates with no college as "working class" but in Harry Truman's day, that was an educated elite! — PolitiTweet.org

Something I think a lot of people don't understand about New Deal and postwar politics is the population was dominated by an educational stratum of high school dropouts that barely exists at all in today's electorate. https://t.co/jgza8iMPVr — PolitiTweet.org

Especially worth discussing as it relates to crime and opioid overdoses when these are in the news — getting people access to addiction treatment is very important. https://t.co/92djCTYsaQ https://t.co/yt04blqLzQ — PolitiTweet.org

Conversely, DeSantis could really own the libs by expanding Medicaid and attaching a proviso that Medicaid can't use critical race theory or something. — PolitiTweet.org

Continues to be the case that talking about how evil it is that Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, and other Republican politicians (mostly in the south but also Wisconsin and Kansas) stand against Medicaid expansion is one of Democrats' clearest winning issues. https://t.co/FTVlHk3cKA — PolitiTweet.org

@awgaffney @MattBruenig @lori_kearns @JHWeissmann I respect you guys for your longstanding interests in certain long-running controversies inside the Democratic Party, and I am also interested in those controversies but for the purposes of *this particular post* I am interested in something else. — PolitiTweet.org

There's been a weird ping-pong from old wrong ideas like "improving the academic rigor of K-12 schools will solve all socioeconomic inequality" to exciting new wrong ideas like "academic rigor in K-12 schools has no value because it won't solve all socioeconomic inequality." — PolitiTweet.org

@JHWeissmann @MattBruenig I agree. What I cited the poll for was evidence that the status quo is not underrated because in fact outside of Twitter the status quo is in fact highly rated. — PolitiTweet.org

Dozens of people dunked on a tweet promoting a post literally titled “Tackling America's weirdly short life expectancy should be a priority” with complaints that I didn’t address the fact that US life expectancy is relatively low and falling. I promise you I am aware! — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody is under any obligation to read what I write, but the number of people on here who take time out of their busy day to complaint about things I’ve written that they haven’t actually read blows my mind. Get a better hobby! https://t.co/92djCTYsaQ — PolitiTweet.org

I like this phrasing because it perfectly captures the central planning mindset at the root of bad American housing policy — we ought to have as much housing as builders are willing to build and buyers are willing to buy. — PolitiTweet.org
