I just read this piece. It is one of the most eloquent and haunting post-election stories out there. I hope you will read it and I will add that I'm a huge fan of @ClareMalone. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbgerard Read I. F. Stone in high school as well. But "My Weekly Reader" was influential in elementary school where I grew up in Connecticut. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattizcoop @bungarsargon @nytopinion Whenever I visit my Wiccan relatives in Portland, I can’t even follow the prayers any more. But I know their religion gives order to their humdrum depressing lives. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattizcoop @bungarsargon @nytopinion I had heard about this piece on Twitter, but it actually reads worse than I had imagined. What’s next? A touching story about sadly saying farewell to the Druid celebrations of one’s youth? — PolitiTweet.org

Inspired by Kelly Loeffler, I am seriously considering signing all my correspondence, "Radical Liberal Walter Shapiro." — PolitiTweet.org

Given the makeup of the Senate, regardless of what happens in Georgia, I am baffled why Warnock doesn't just flatly say that he opposes increasing the size of the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Fascinating that Loeffler would not say a word in defense of a Republican governor. — PolitiTweet.org

Loeffler just described "Radical Liberal Raphael Warnock" as socialist. Why then doesn't she save a word and just call him "Socialist Raphael Warnock"? Also, how can you simultaneously be a socialist and a liberal? — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder what would happen if Loeffler changed the order once and called her opponent "Liberal Radical Raphael Warnock." — PolitiTweet.org

She reminds me of Marco Rubio during the 2016 GOP debates. Rubio, even when attacked by Chris Christie, kept repeating the same debate talking points. — PolitiTweet.org

"Radical liberal Raphael Warnock" is being repeated by Kelly Loeffler so often that I assume that she practices in front of the mirror for an hour every morning. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnRobertAnde3 @RonBrownstein I wasn't saying that it was the only factor. But in writing about babyboomers and the media of the 1950s and 1960s, "My Weekly Reader" is usually forgotten. — PolitiTweet.org

It is hard to exaggerate how important “My Weekly Reader,” which was distributed in the schools, was in shaping the worldview of early babyboomers. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, every appointment creates 19 enemies and one ingrate. Fascinated what Democrats will say about Newsom once they know they have been passed over. — PolitiTweet.org

Newsom’s leadership during COVID has been horrendous, but this may be why you won’t hear more criticism about him 👇🏻 https://t.co/bbhfNdk741

@rickperlstein @CharlesPPierce @BillKristol I think our disagreements on this are important. And I suspect that I have more respect for the courage of consistent never-Trumpers than you do. But I am stumped about how to resolve this question in 280 characters. — PolitiTweet.org

@rickperlstein @CharlesPPierce @BillKristol How I just long for normal political arguments over taxes and spending. When that becomes the norm, I will be willing, even eager, to point out philosophical differences. But that's still in the future and I hope it only turns out to be in the "short-term future." — PolitiTweet.org
