Note that No Labels offers absolutely no rationale to justify this hiring other than apparently Halperin will work cheap. What an inspiring decision by an organization that should be scorned by all for this move. — PolitiTweet.org

@paulitically Thanks. I guess. — PolitiTweet.org

@JoshAlexCairo @MichaelMcGough3 It pops up all the time in the subject line of press releases from the Biden White House. — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelMcGough3 Throw in “penned” as a synonym for “wrote.” — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelMcGough3 It would spoil the joke. — PolitiTweet.org

Isn’t the “battle him to death” phrase reserved for fights over the inheritance tax? — PolitiTweet.org

@janinsanfran @EvansWitt Because the reference to Cuomo was a prelude to my reference to the incipient movement to draft him for president. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @EvansWitt: Excellent take from @MrWalterShapiro Walter Mondale’s Visionary Liberalism Is Still Echoing Today https://t.co/9byWIyp92M — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

For @newrepublic, I wrote that the liberalism of Mondale's Senate career has been overshadowed in the obits. Mondale almost created federally subsidized childcare in 1971 if Nixon had not vetoed the legislation as an opening salvo in his culture war. https://t.co/ixILwhtdmJ — PolitiTweet.org

@TimothyNoah1 It certainly beats the National Lampoon's "If you don't buy this magazine, we will shoot this dog." — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffSmithMO I assume donors would have to live in approved gated communities. — PolitiTweet.org

A self-funded campaign, I presume. — PolitiTweet.org

The liberalism of Mondale's Senate career has been overshadowed in the tributes by the other aspects of his career. But as I write: This was a senator who almost created federally subsidized childcare in 1971 if Nixon had not vetoed the legislation as a salvo in his culture war. — PolitiTweet.org

Halperin might deserve a second chance...but only after he washed the feet of lepers for maybe 20 years and gave a heart-rending apology. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

The four words that are filling the subject line of every email in my work file: "Statement on the Verdict..." Without minimizing the epic importance of the conviction, I am just suggesting that maybe not every politician and not every organization needs to issue a statement. — PolitiTweet.org

@harrysiegel It's not too great immediately after such an event, either. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@StuPolitics You're definitely right -- or wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

As we all wait for the verdict from Minnesota, this Op-Ed by @DrTedJ is the best article that you can possibly read today: https://t.co/n3fXBDeTMa — PolitiTweet.org

I'm so rooting for you and the paper. And, yes, it is easy to fall into deep pessimism based on the last 20 years. But that doesn't guarantee the outcome of this story. — PolitiTweet.org

I presume Pompeo will be announcing his intention to enter the 2024 GOP primary in Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

@lefoudubaron I am writing about this today. And I later discovered that the NLF was concerned with more than simply land reform in South Vietnam. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs I would have said you won the evening if you had merely cited the Philadelphia Ledger. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs I favor impeaching the NY Post editorial board even though it’s impossible to achieve as a mere home-delivery reader. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@speechboy71 It would have been funnier if you had spelled it out. In 2021, those delicate asterisks seem wildly unnecessary and evoke a different century. And I'm not generally in favor of "fuck" unless it's part of the punchline of an epic joke. — PolitiTweet.org

@cathleendecker @Sulliview Never heard the expression "a-matter." At Newsweek and Time in the 1980s-1990s, there was almost a cult of "b-matter." — PolitiTweet.org

@lara_putnam This seems like a great moment to break in and say that this is a fascinating thread. Without your grounding in the data, my instinct had suggested that there was something flawed about this study. Also, I agreed that uncontested races are an affront to democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a glorious obit that brings back the heyday of Mad. And even better, it contains enough excerpts to bring it all back. — PolitiTweet.org
