Forget post-diagnosis: has Trump ever been pressed so hard on the virus before, by anyone? — PolitiTweet.org

Did NBC tell Trump they were doing a town hall and then trick him into doing an extremely adversarial interview with a capable journalist instead? — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta admit, shutting down your entire service to prevent anyone from sharing the Hunter Biden story is a little extreme, but Twitter is a bold company — PolitiTweet.org

I think even if it weren't for Twitter and Facebook, the Post story probably wouldn't matter very much. It's a bank shot that has very strong Bleemer and Gorpman vibes. — PolitiTweet.org

The 2016 and 2020 "emails!" stories are very different. The first was directly targeted at the candidate, very easy to follow (an FBI investigation!), and played into preexisting Clinton hate. The second is about a son, confusing, and at odds with the public view of Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

People on this platform like to own the libs for their Harry Potter obsession but in Thailand that kind of imagery helped inspire an uprising against the repressive monarcho-military government https://t.co/MvztgmK8B7 https://t.co/ZB0LcK4pfW — PolitiTweet.org

One, maybe more controversial point: now that Twitter and Facebook made these decisions, they can't really reverse them. If they do, the article will be shared infinitely more than it would have been otherwise, amping up the disinformation problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Really important point by @Bernstein here. Tech companies have such intimate knowledge of content consumption patterns that they could devise much more subtle ways to stop misinformation spread than the blunt tool they used here https://t.co/2wBYN5zQ4o — PolitiTweet.org

Two things that are both true: 1) The Hunter Biden article is gross misinformation of the sort tech companies are right to be concerned about. 2) The way they've censored it seems like an overreaction that will give the article more attention and credibility than it deserves. — PolitiTweet.org

@imillhiser Right, that's the problem! We pretend that "originalism" an "living constitutionalism" are truth-seeking doctrines when they're actually hermeneutic methods reverse-engineered to arrive at some key substantive political ends — PolitiTweet.org

@DouthatNYT I think there's a third scenario: Trump is trailing *moderately* in official counts. In that situation, the result isn't unclear — Biden wins! — but it's close enough that Trump can claim voter fraud was the margin. That creates room for the PA scheme that Gellman reported. — PolitiTweet.org

8. The real problem is bigger — the modern conservative movement's willingness to abuse counter-majoritarian institutions and constitutional hardball to prevent Democrats from winning elections and governing. Trump is an enabler and an intensifier, but not the root cause. — PolitiTweet.org

7. The nightmare scenarios this November don't depend on Trump dreaming up a sneaky plan to steal the election — it depends on Trump saying the election is fake, and then much smarter and more competent Republican operatives figuring out how to act on that. — PolitiTweet.org

6. Trump's personal incompetence is less of a problem then, too. The key actors here are members of Congress and state-level politicians: Trump's outbursts act as a permission structure, giving them carte blanche to try and take the election. — PolitiTweet.org

5. Once you use this lens, things look a lot more worrying. Take the Supreme Court, for example. Douthat is right that Roberts has rebuked Trump, but cases like Shelby County show a willingness to support the party's voter suppression initiatives. — PolitiTweet.org

4. "One-party rule," rather than "one-man Trump rule," is the real threat: that the president's authoritarian impulses pushes the entire GOP to embrace theirs.
