Skip Bayless basically saying that depressed people shouldn't be in leadership positions is a shit take even by the generally abysmal standards of sports talk shows https://t.co/hv9nUBpjSd — PolitiTweet.org

Just finished rewatching Korra Season 3, a reminder that casting Henry Rollins as a violent anarchist was a stroke of genius — PolitiTweet.org

For those of us who write about online hate and extremism, all of the tweets about an unemployment program with the acronym "PUA" are very confusing — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of coronavirus coverage illustrates why it's important for pundits to recognize the limits of their own expertise and spend some time on the phone with actual epidemiologists and public health experts — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's new ad ends with this picture and a voiceover that says "you won't be safe in Joe Biden's America." Less a dog whistle, more a full-volume scream. https://t.co/i4wZIkO6gO — PolitiTweet.org

@Yascha_Mounk @zeynep @mattyglesias To respond to the three of you, I'm not making a normative judgment that he did the correct thing. Just expressing skepticism about a specific (and seemingly popular) descriptive theory of what would have happened counterfactually — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@AthertonKD Maybe? But that's really speculative and not at all clear given the partisan politics of it all — PolitiTweet.org

I'm really confused as to why so many people are so confident that Bob Woodward releasing the Trump tape in March would have had some kind of meaningful effect on the quality of the US coronavirus response — PolitiTweet.org

@AthertonKD bad ominous, it's really disturbing stuff — PolitiTweet.org

The whistleblower complaint...folks, it's really bad — PolitiTweet.org

@woodruffbets ahh congrats! — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@qjurecic I mean, there's a decent case that the mechanisms of accountability are so broken that the only one that really matters is Election Day — so Woodward's error wasn't publishing too late, but about a month too soon — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
One of the frustrating things about American political discourse is that repeatedly pointing out an obvious truth — that many of our biggest problems stem directly from the fact that our conservative party is totally broken — is seen as gauche or crassly partisan — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Been doing a lot of reporting on the potential for chaos surrounding the election, so I can confidently say this @ddayen piece is excellent and well worth your time https://t.co/5it41QCWXm — PolitiTweet.org

@joshuakeating This is why I'm so mad about it. Either it's not novel (merely restating statistics on a few conflicts) or it's being dishonest (sneaking causation in the back door). — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@Dsterms @DanielLarison It's fine and even correct to hold a general view of "Americans need to own up to the consequences of our wars." But this report is doing something more specific and not justifiable by the methodology employed. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@Dsterms @DanielLarison This is exactly what I mean. That conclusion says the US needs to "make amends" for "37 million" people, implying the US owes it to all of them. The entire framing of the report depends on the idea that the US is somehow responsible for what they're documenting, which isn't shown — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@DanielLarison It absolutely is! This conclusion could not be more transparent in assigning moral blame https://t.co/tFuoqf4QEm — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@DanielLarison Which is how you get this headline in the Time and this obviously causal quote from the report’s author. https://t.co/O44j3J0BbI — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@DanielLarison Right that disclaimer is one graf in the introduction and then completely disregarded for the rest of the report, especially in the conclusion. The entire thing is is an exercise in prevarication. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@DanielLarison I dunno — it suffers from the same problem as the rest of the (non-Iraq and Afghanistan) sections, the lack of any serious consideration of counterfactuals and causality. "Contributed" isn't good enough for research that implicitly blames all of them on US involvement. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
It's especially frustrating because a report like this that focused more narrowly on Iraq and Afghanistan — wars where the US unquestionably bears responsibility for millions of displaced persons — could have been valuable. But this is just bad research. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
It's a very slippery report. They claim to merely be documenting displacement during US wars, but then shift seamlessly to blaming all displacement in those wars *on US involvement* in the discussion https://t.co/2Czdw43lBC — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Can you spot the problems with linking displacement from these two conflicts on the United States https://t.co/cbtm6CBWl3 — PolitiTweet.org

This is their argument for blaming 7.1 million of the people displaced on Syria on a "US war" https://t.co/sFTL6xLHNK — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
This is their methodological argument for crediting 7.4 million displaced persons in Syria to a "US war" https://t.co/kTyNJ6Rvq5 — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
I'm reading the research for that now-infamous graphic on displacement caused by "US wars" — and it's really, really bad https://t.co/4SmSdW2RPu — PolitiTweet.org
