@MalcWilloughby My error. Thanks for the kind words. And I will fix it since there are two different pieces I had out today. — PolitiTweet.org

From my new Roll Call column about this moment in history: "Based on current polls, Trump seems more the dying gasp of the old country club America than the avatar of a new ethos built around economic nationalism and do-it-my-way authoritarianism." https://t.co/UxtfIuc3Qm — PolitiTweet.org

From my @newrepublic piece on how Trump's fragile ego destroys a rational (for him) reelection strategy: "Every campaign official who talks to Trump about the latest polls does so with the trepidation of a courtier discussing Anne Boleyn with Henry VIII." https://t.co/UxtfIuc3Qm — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs Of course, given the Senate calendar and Trump’s re-election prospects, I am not sure that Gorka should decorate his office if confirmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Read the excerpt from @mkonnikova and then buy the book. I don't care a fig about poker and yet "The Biggest Bluff" is the best non-fiction book that I have read all year. It's a quest story with lots of psychology thrown in. https://t.co/u48UVWjK2e — PolitiTweet.org

"Kavanaugh who? The name rings a vague bell. Was he ever up for a job that the Senate voted on?" — PolitiTweet.org

Moving as far and as fast away from Kavanaugh and Trump as she can. https://t.co/Cs3WC9KUbc

Hate to recall that in 2017, Trump revealed a secret Israeli intelligence operation to two Russian diplomats in the Oval Office. Might be considered aiding the Russians. https://t.co/kWS8WVNQ9y — PolitiTweet.org

Jason Miller @JasonMillerinDC

#BookDealBolton may as well be aiding the Russians and the Chinese by divulging U.S. national security information… https://t.co/wTxMh7mhHb

@chuckdelaware @polguru I wrote a Time magazine feature decrying this change in the playoff structure in 1991. And I almost wrote (and I so wish I had) a profile of George W. Bush as the best baseball owner in memory. — PolitiTweet.org

@polguru God, I wish it were otherwise. But I also don't want to give Manfred 16 teams in the 2021 playoffs, which I believe was part of the union's proposal. The glory of baseball is the long season. Don't bastardize it. — PolitiTweet.org

The lack of testing is how they wiped out the Black Death. After two-thirds of the people in Europe were dead, it just simply went away. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnJHarwood @Profepps We were jointly writing humor pieces for Outlook in the early 1980s. And somehow this one (which only touched on football and then moved on) was the rare piece that didn't make the grade. Obviously, it was our collective artistic failure that was the reason. — PolitiTweet.org

The Yankees then went on to win the 1939 World Series, as well. They topped that four-straight record when they won five straight under Casey Stengel from 1949-53. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidKusnet By the luck of the draw, baseball had already shortened its 1918 season because of World War I. As a result, the World Series was over by mid-September. The influenza epidemic only hit with a vengeance in late September. So the parallel doesn't work. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnJHarwood @Profepps Garrett's memory of this is better than mine. But as a non-football fan (not the Redskins, not anybody), I didn't realize that I was flirting with heresy. My sense is that Martin Luther inspired a far less angry reaction from the Pope. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a passionate baseball fan. But I don't want to see the game with a bastardized short-season schedule, a breakdown in league structures and expanded TV playoffs. With Covid-19 cases expanding rapidly in AZ and FL, there are no safe venues. Let the season go. — PolitiTweet.org
