I never met Janet Malcolm. I often passionately disagreed with her articles. But I mourn her passing as one of the most interesting thinkers and writers of the last few decades. — PolitiTweet.org

@jamespmanley @vermontgmg Next Cawthorn is going to embrace the 1960s leftist fantasy that the Viet Cong merely wanted land reform. I should give him an honorary membership in the Weathermen. — PolitiTweet.org

From my @newrepublic piece on the Biden-Putin Summit: "Joe Biden will almost certainly be the last president whose internal newsreel is filled with memories of Russia from Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin." https://t.co/qYuOgI7n8S — PolitiTweet.org

I am inclined to vote for the mayoral candidate who gets the most sleep. No one in the debate admits to more than six hours sleep. I like my public officials to get eight hours of sleep since sleep tends to improve judgment. — PolitiTweet.org

Me in @newrepublic : "Without saber-rattling or empty threats like Barack Obama’s oft-ignored 'red lines,' Biden managed to convey unsentimental firmness in his first turn on the world stage. Politically, Democrats have never prospered by appearing weak." https://t.co/qYuOgI7n8S — PolitiTweet.org

It make sense since Trump won the election in a landslide. All Biden ballots are either fraud because they are colored in the lines or because they are colored outside the lines. What a massive world-shaking conspiracy. And pardoned felon Bernie Kerik is on the case. — PolitiTweet.org

Haven’t done any reporting on this. But here’s a theory: The Wiley campaign worries that @aoc is too polarizing for the voters they still need to get. Not sure how @aoc polls among, say, center-left voters in Manhattan. — PolitiTweet.org

Does @mayawiley's campaign really not have an ad out yet with @AOC in it?

From me in @rollcall: "In Washington, historical precedents should only be handled by trained professionals and the bomb squad. Nothing, aside from political timidity, has fostered more bad policies than the misremembering and misapplication of history." https://t.co/Sck6VI1zZk — PolitiTweet.org

@PrimeNewYork A presidential primary conducted nearly three months after Biden became the de facto nominee doesn't seem very indicative of anything. But I could be wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Marist Poll has 65 percent of the voters being 45 years or older. According to 2013 exit polls, the NYC primary electorate that year was 63 percent over 45. I'm still looking for evidence of the supposed wave of new younger voters that Yang would need. — PolitiTweet.org
