NY Times online headline: "Another Massacre, This Time in Indianapolis, Brings Disbelief." Without minimizing the tragedy and the human suffering, I doubt that anyone was really had disbelief given the nation's porous gun laws, the number of mentally disturbed and the NRA. — PolitiTweet.org

@rachel_x_graves Anglo-Saxon architecture oddly enough flourished in Greece and Rome. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
A century ago, Americans of Italian or Eastern European Jewish origins were not considered part of the "Anglo-Saxon tradition." Does the American First Caucus want to send them back to Europe because they put America's "unique identity" at risk? Or is it just Latinos and Asians? — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos for unraveling the mystery of the two bizarre "no" votes. It's a reminder that one should never under-estimate raging stupidity as an explanation for political behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

@alexheard I assume that they got secret messages from QAnon in their teeth. But honestly don't know. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ChloDubs @burdett_loomis Democratic donors have to give more strategically. Focus on winnable House races instead of sexy Senate races where the extra money won't make a difference. It's a hard message to get across when someone like the estimable Jaime Harrison raised more than $100 million in SC. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
That's an impressive way to stand up to big government. It is also a clever way to make both Greene and Boebert lovable figures who understand the suffering of others. I guess that they think that the other 415 House members are in the pay of Big Leukemia. — PolitiTweet.org

I also think there is a humanitarian case for the US remaining in Afghanistan. After 20 years, I do think we have an obligation to the people who supported us. And if this had been put in humanitarian terms, it would escape the label of "forever wars." — PolitiTweet.org

@pinkbassist @MerylGordon Tried a rewrite, which probably also has a typo. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
The weekend after Bernie Madoff was indicted, I was in Palm Beach with my wife @MerylGordon who was on book tour. So many people had "invested" with Madoff that almost no one ventured out. But it was a huge weekend for Palm Beach pawn shops for money to pay the help. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@pinkbassist @MerylGordon Just saw it myself. It's funny. And no, she was not a Madoff accomplice. And, please, Twitter give us an edit button. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
By chance, I was in Palm Beach the weekend after Bernie Madoff was indicted with my wife @MerylGordon who was on book tour. So many people had "invested" with Madoff, you half expected to see wealthy apple-sellers on every corner. It was a huge weekend for Palm Beach pawn shops. — PolitiTweet.org

@joannelipman @katierosman And "friend" is terminally vague. It looks like "companion" is going to do a lot of heavy duty. This whole discussion also reminds you that words like "mistress" (and, yes, I know their deficiencies) did serve a linguistic need. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnRobertAnde3 I just went through the cast list for the movie -- and I noticed that JFK's secretary Evelyn Lincoln seems to have gotten an uncredited cameo: https://t.co/DGemTJd5wD — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnRobertAnde3 I can't wait. What's the answer to your "Advise and Consent" question? — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@JohnRobertAnde3 Damn. That's a great question. And I not only saw the movie, but also saw the stage version on Broadway. Totally stumped, I will go with Wayne Morse as Freddy van Ackerman. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
A lot of history went into my case for the talking filibuster in @newrepublic: "There is no recording of Huey Long’s recital of his favorite pot likker recipe during a 15-hour filibuster in 1935. Imagine if it were broadcast live on C-SPAN." https://t.co/1wdJBIP3XY — PolitiTweet.org

This is also my history of all-night filibusters and, yes, Strom Thurmond, Richard Russell and Sam Ervin get cameos. As does a snoring Prescott Bush. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bob2A1959NYC I read “The Power Broker” when it came out. So I know Moses’ history. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
I am doing this from memory but Robert Moses made sure that all the parkway bridges between NYC and the beaches of Long Island were too low for buses. His racist logic: Most Black people didn’t own cars in the 1940s and 1950s. — PolitiTweet.org
