Inflation does not appear to be fixed at all, but I hear much less about it from normalish people now that gasoline prices are down year-on-year and basically flat for the past few months. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bernstein @TheStalwart Yeah, as I said the difference I didn't read the whole thing — I read the clearly inaccurate lead, screenshotted it, closed the tab, and complained on twitter. Maybe some day he'll write an article with a better lead and I'll read it. — PolitiTweet.org

@EPoe187 Except I think most people use "woke" so as to also encompass controversies about trans issues. — PolitiTweet.org

@BovyMaltz At a minimum we could ask men how much they think about sex and we could ask women how much they think men think about sex. — PolitiTweet.org

@Psythor I think there's a genuine problem where people are lumping together conceptually distinct ideas about race and gender. https://t.co/vsHVL2HpJt — PolitiTweet.org

I don't love the idea of congress overriding the DC Council, but I did think @MayorBowser was right on the merits to veto this legislation. https://t.co/38zLT01Zfo — PolitiTweet.org

I feel like Chuck Schumer called the Baileys on this one and Democrats are going to try to win in 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a claim I agree with — Jewish and Asian Americans suffer from the effort to replace old-fashioned ideas about bias and discrimination with Kendi-style pure proportionality. https://t.co/eTydusOebA — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

To be clear, I did not read this article. I am open to the idea that lurking behind the plainly inaccurate headline and lead is some other more nuanced thesis. But I'll never know because I stopped reading. Don't write bad leads! https://t.co/MrQYLM6PSV — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@TheStalwart I didn't link because I didn't want to help the author get traffic. It says "anywhere" totally uncategorically. If the lead had made some other, more restrained claim, I might have read the rest of the article instead of closing the tab and dismissing it. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I don't really want to encourage anti-semites by dwelling too much on it, but this is really wrong. We right now have what's surely the most Jewish cabinet of all time, for example. https://t.co/lcSi4kVAo4 — PolitiTweet.org

Guy who thinks that instead of fining Norfolk Southern for the damage done by their train wreck, we ought to offer the company executives affordable housing and good jobs. — PolitiTweet.org
