The globalization of culture war politics where you have European politicians talking about Roe v Wade is really something to behold. We already see voters completely ignoring local politics in favor of nationalized media and the next frontier is going to be wild. — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 The actual forgotten thing about this is that the predictably bad policy had a large amount of public support for a while. https://t.co/xkTPI7XjRB — PolitiTweet.org

@BovyMaltz Would be interesting to go through Forbes 400 and see how many (acknowledged) kids the members have. — PolitiTweet.org

@Timodc IMO a big part of sounding "like a college professor" is prioritizing post-material environmental concerns over cheap gasoline. — PolitiTweet.org

@5thAveSnoozer @MattZeitlin I can't help the fact that most people have bad taste. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@MattZeitlin Yeah, what I think all the most popular characters have in common is a kind of gee-whiz "what if a normal person but with cool powers" vibe instead of too much sci-fi weirdness. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin I think Love & Thunder's big weakness, commercially,, is going to be that it's a genuinely clever creative work of art. — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait Sure but did Fox News make the Pacific Coast more liberal? — PolitiTweet.org

@lxeagle17 The other interesting thing about 1990s politics is that Clinton’s vote share lagged so far behind his approval numbers — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@lxeagle17 Yeah. In 1992, Clinton gets 43% nationally and overperforms that in WV, TN, MO, LA, KY, and AR while falling a bit short in Oregon, Connecticut, and New Jersey. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Not as directly relevant to the 2000 realignment but 1996 was a different universe on public safety issues, as Bill Clinton pitched gun control as part of a seamless web of pro-cop carceral politics — Dems were the party willing to invest in public services, including prisons. https://t.co/o3WHRyIyUS — PolitiTweet.org

One idea is that 2000 is the first race in which contrasting attitudes toward fossil fuel extraction are a clear subject of partisan dispute. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

In 1996, Bill Clinton got a larger share of the vote in Louisiana and West Virginia than he did in California, Oregon, or Washington. The realignment that happened in the 2000 election seems like an under-examined historical event to me. — PolitiTweet.org

@epkaufm I guess? The point of the paper basically is that job quality has risen more than a simple look at wages would suggest since there’s been disproportionate growth in pleasant jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

The doubters are wrong and Love & Thunder stands with Ragnarok as dramatically better than the other MCU movies. — PolitiTweet.org

@binarybits More broadly will there be a boomlet of property management companies so people with those good mortgages who for whatever reason need to move can monetize by renting rather than selling. — PolitiTweet.org

In Hana-bi this dude gets his eye stabbed out with a chopstick because he was left without his second amendment rights to defend himself. https://t.co/TKlINyd15o — PolitiTweet.org

Since widespread firearms ownership helps law-abiding people keep crime at bay, Japan must be constantly awash in the sort of violence that struck former prime minister Abe. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of implementing regulations the public won’t follow that lead to endless enforcement battles and political setbacks, I think the administration should redouble our efforts at creating more effective next-generation vaccines. https://t.co/YJDtA6kuKq — PolitiTweet.org

@JimPethokoukis Not sure years of litigation will help here — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@NoCHillDC Yep. Some of this has changed because of Trump. But those themes also sincerely don’t reflect the personal interests of the people who run Dem comms or the progressive advocacy groups. So they lose focus and count on paid to do the word. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not an attorney or anything but my friends in banking & corporate law all seem to agree that you’re supposed to kick the tires on the acquisition target *before* you sign an agreement to buy it. — PolitiTweet.org
