Half the time I Google someone I vaguely remember from college it says they do “complex civil litigation” which always sounds boring but this case is gonna be a banger. https://t.co/iFHzVv4xN5 — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans never wavered from their commitment to overturning Roe except for the three or four Supreme Court justices they appointed who didn’t agree with that idea. — PolitiTweet.org

In general, small businesses feature bad management and compared to big box stores lack upward mobility for line employees (the owner’s nephew runs the shop rather than someone competent getting a promotion) leading to lower productivity and low wages. https://t.co/Tk4CYp0MkB — PolitiTweet.org

This is by Bruno Pelegrino and Luigi Zingales, two economists who are Italianx themselves so they can give voice to the “Italian managers are incompetent” theory without cancellation. https://t.co/p8XZyqIBDd — PolitiTweet.org

Can confirm just from trying to plan this trip that approximately zero percent of Italian small businesses have good websites. https://t.co/MW3eTb3Yig — PolitiTweet.org

Something like 5% of current NBA players have a had who played in the NBA and presumably more than that have at least one parent who was an elite athlete by some broader definition. — PolitiTweet.org

PhD students are much more likely than the general population to have highly educated parents and that’s most true in the harder-to-get-into fields. An interesting question is what’s the “right” number here? https://t.co/hrvcTXrXsd https://t.co/GV5oXK3qPw — PolitiTweet.org

wHaT aBOuT paRTiCiPatIon? Okay. The prime age employment-population ratio in June 2022 was 79.8%, exactly the same as its June 2019 level (and far above the Trump average) but 0.7 points shy of the February 2020 level. — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelRStrain @hamandcheese @Noahpinion It’s funny to me how much causal power conservative intellectuals attribute, across a wide range of topics, to the hurt feelings of grassroots rightwingers. Where’s the tough love and high expectations about this dysfunctional culture of victimhood? — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@Ed_Realist @SeanTrende @NateSilver538 Yes. The whole thing was more parent-driven (with parents disagreeing) than is generally acknowledged. In DC for example the charters were more Covid-hawkish than DCPS. — PolitiTweet.org

Just as the cross-pressured are underrepresented among the set of people who love to tweet about politics as a hobby, they are overrepresented among non-voters. That’s who the disengaged, potentially mobilizable people are. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

If you look at any big survey like CCES it’s clear there are way more cross-pressured people (pro-life but favor universal health care, pro-choice but oppose taxing the rich, etc) in the general population than among those who talk about politics on social media. — PolitiTweet.org

@dmtrubman @NQRW I wasn't saying anything prescriptive at all — it's just factually true that the public places relatively little priority on climate change as a topic and that's something people should know as they think about things. — PolitiTweet.org
