"Joe Biden cares about ordinary people, the kind who are being killed by this pandemic" seems like the overarching Dem message — and it strikes me as a smart one — PolitiTweet.org

In other pop culture news, I read a novel on vacation about late 18th European century politics and my big conclusions are 1) William Wilberforce slaps and 2) history is way more interesting when Pitt the Younger is a vampire and Robespierre is a necromancer. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @TPCarney @cjane87 @pegobry @daveweigel @Chris_arnade Seems like one of those things that's tricky to define in any kind of one-sentence tagline kind of way! — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @TPCarney @cjane87 @pegobry @daveweigel @Chris_arnade This conversation is mostly relevant when we're talking about present-day political behavior, imo, which is why the "class as education" definition strikes me as a serious wrong turn. See Kitschelt/Rehm, for example https://t.co/6yjVAQNjjf https://t.co/26TkhAkx8S — PolitiTweet.org

@TPCarney @cjane87 @pegobry @daveweigel @Chris_arnade Education and income level diverge pretty commonly. There are a lot of well-off plumbers and car dealership owners without four-year degrees. Conversely, there are a lot of would-be writers with English degrees working at Starbucks. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @DouthatNYT I should say my prior is that there's no free speech crisis on college campus (see here, for ex https://t.co/IbIOqjv3lU) and no major problem in need of address by federal threats. Risks of bill are high, imo, and prospective benefits minimal. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@CharlesFLehman @DouthatNYT Either universities have formal free speech policies, putting them under financial threat from this bill, or they don't, and Cotton gets to say "see, look how much the libs hate free speech?" Kurtz is explicit on this point: https://t.co/1h28TfJimk — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@CharlesFLehman @DouthatNYT I think it significantly changes the incentives for university administrators. Combined with the provisions about stripping research funding, it puts universities under financial threat in two directions. It's a power play designed to weaken and/or delegitimize higher ed. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@CharlesFLehman @DouthatNYT The Cotton bill would, per Kurtz's summary, hold universities that have speech codes that cover individual conduct (like Chicago) liable for attempts to disrupt speech — the "booing" scenario the Florida ACLU warned about — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@CharlesFLehman @DouthatNYT I haven't seen a text, it's 8-10 in Kurtz's summary that worries me here. What does it mean to fail to "uphold their claims to respect free expression?" The Chicago Principles, for example, hold individuals accountable https://t.co/OnK9jvpX0e — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @DouthatNYT The lawsuit section is objectionable for (roughly) similar reasons to the objections the Florida ACLU had to a similar stat ebill https://t.co/mcX60ceBTL https://t.co/48U1Xy7Wyy — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@CharlesFLehman @DouthatNYT That analysis assumes that the campus free speech rules that will be punished under this bill are, in fact, violations of free speech. I don't think many of them would be, and that this is primarily a vehicle for pulling federal funding from hated universities. — PolitiTweet.org
