@MrThomasJerome New problem is GPS. It doesn't easily acknowledge the existence of the Triboro Bridge. Instead it tell you to take the RFK Bridge. And as more drivers are taking all their cues from GPS, the old names get to be an anachronism. — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe -- and this is tentative -- the answer is to mention it every time they are quoted. For example, "Senator Blackburn, who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election, described President Biden's tax plan as 'an extreme power grab never before seen in our country.'" — PolitiTweet.org

@_ThePipeline_ I assume that you think all the Covid patients filling the nation's hospitals are actors hired by the Democrats. And the 330,000 dead just had a few bad breaks. Also, it is fascinating the Democrats got all of Europe to join the conspiracy to create a fake scare. — PolitiTweet.org

@MeAndMyDogToo I'm not talking about voting records. He's a conservative Republican. And he was playing even further right because he was in a tough 2020 race with Bullock. But he's also not a QAnon crazy or a believer that George Soros secretly controls the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Crazed anti-Vaxxer protest at 92nd and Amsterdam in NYC. First protest that I loudly heckled in decades. Far right does not have full monopoly on nutcases. https://t.co/9gXaoLqWX3 — PolitiTweet.org

@Too_Big_To_Fail @NormOrnstein Just tried GPS to tell me how to get to La Guardia Airport. Key instruction: "Use Exit 17 for the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge." Nowhere does GPS use the word Triboro. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman I too hate this orgy of renaming that serves only to create a conflict between GPS and people like me who have no idea what the Triboro Bridgre has morphed into. But I wanted to make a conspicuous exception for Moynihan. — PolitiTweet.org

As Trump threatens to back a primary challenger to Thune in 2022, it is a reminder that breaking with Trump earlier -- and following his conscience -- would have not been any worse politically for Thune than doing it at the very last minute. — PolitiTweet.org
