A president's words can be a revealing window into his thought processes. Biden is suddenly using "inflection point" in almost every major speech. In @newrepublic, I point out why this buzz phrase so appeals to Biden. https://t.co/zYwrp9mpL3 — PolitiTweet.org

Favorite quote from this put-down of ridiculously priced vegan: "Almost none of the main ingredients taste quite like themselves in the 10-course, $335 menu...Some are so obviously standing in for meat or fish that you almost feel sorry for them." — PolitiTweet.org

I am reeling from the stunning news that I didn't get a MacArthur genius grant. And none of the winners had a Boat Parade like I did. That's why I have concluded the selection was RIGGED. So I am demanding that the Cyber Ninjas audit the voting by the secret MacArthur judges. — PolitiTweet.org

The making of a presidential cliche: "For Biden, 'inflection point' has become his favored verbal method of grabbing people by the lapels and shouting, 'There’s no going back—we’ve got to change.'” My latest in @newrepublic: https://t.co/LKz4vLGWqU — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to @Grace_Segers for this terrific piece trying to explain the unexplainable. This is a must-read for anyone following the battle to prevent the Republicans from forcing America over the cliff on the debt ceiling. — PolitiTweet.org

@kausmickey @jackshafer You win that round. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@JamesFallows @jackshafer @kausmickey I broke my own record of denial in that regard when I submitted a piece to @newrepublic over the weekend for publication early next week on just this topic. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@jackshafer @kausmickey Seriously, I have a @newrepublic piece in the works on the rhetorical addiction to "inflection points." — PolitiTweet.org

@jackshafer @kausmickey Except for those challengers that are "existential threats" or "defining moments." — PolitiTweet.org

@leonblum Then perhaps you might be interested in next year's 50th anniversary fund-raiser and dinner dance. — PolitiTweet.org

@kausmickey @StarrProspect No conspiracy theory about the MSM with me. You cited my first piece on the topic. Over the prior weeks, I had been focused on Afghanistan, Covid and the Texas abortion law. My philosophy, inspired by Orson Welles, has always been, "No reconciliation pieces before their time." — PolitiTweet.org

@RicknShira Personally, I think your tweet is worth $200 million. — PolitiTweet.org

@KeithELaughlin I know. But 1974 might have have worked in a followup race. — PolitiTweet.org

"Israel continues to be a fault line across the Democratic Party caucus, with the debate over the Iron Dome funding the latest issue to pit members of the so-called Squad...against establishment Democrats." Some fault line, the bill passed 420-9. https://t.co/y0o7EwColJ — PolitiTweet.org

@ErikSmithDC I always figured that if I had won, my career would have ended abruptly with the House banking scandal. The one in the early 1990s when the House bank would hold insolvent checks for weeks until there was money in the account. That kind of overdraft coverage had my name on it. — PolitiTweet.org

I ran for Congress in Michigan in the 1970s and supposedly finished second in a six-way primary. But now I am convinced the election was RIGGED. I demand that Michigan conduct a full audit immediately. Stop the Long-Ago Steal! — PolitiTweet.org

@richgalen I know. I read it as a loyal-time subscriber. That’s why Russell was probably at the front of my brain. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonBrownstein @PreetBharara @thelauracoates You have my vote. I recently reread the whole section on Richard Russell and the 1957 Civil Rights Bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's idea of a fair election: Voters present 17 forms of ID proving identity and citizenship. They then kneel before the 45 president and orally announce their votes. These votes are tabulated by Stephen Miller and vetted for legality by John Eastman. What could be fairer? — PolitiTweet.org

In which we discover that the Cybrt Ninjas are part of the Deep State. Maybe next time the Trump conspiracy crazies won’t just go with the lowest bidder for an audit. Or maybe tonight’s headline is “The Conspiracy Deepens.” — PolitiTweet.org

@JMilesColeman Haven’t looked at the numbers. But remember that Perot was on the ballot in 1996 complicating any analysis. — PolitiTweet.org

@johnastoehr I learned this in 2002 when pollsters were asking how many Iraqis were among the 9/11 terrorists. Too many people were guessing 5 or 7 because if a pollster was asking, there had to be some. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@johnastoehr Quick guess: If an authority figure like a pollster is asking, a fraction of the public believes that whatever they are asking about must be at least partly true. — PolitiTweet.org

@varadmehta Not all pollsters agree that generic ballot questions in April of an odd-numbered year are meaningful. Key words "if current trends hold." But feel free to crave more generic ballot polls. Personally, I will check in with them around next April. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@varadmehta Not necessarily 13 months in advance. Not necessarily when nobody knows what the state of the pandemic will be in November 2022. Generic polls, which are necessary because nobody knows the name of their House member , have always been a bit of blunderbuss when it comes accuracy. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
.@JillDLawrence nails it: "Attacking Biden for his age seems like a strange way to court the baby boom and silent generations, especially since they voted more Republican than Democratic in 2020 and Trump – age 75 – may well run again in 2024." https://t.co/P5cyK2yyB7 — PolitiTweet.org

@varadmehta 13 months in advance may be too early for generic polls to be meaningful. — PolitiTweet.org

I just what to announce that I have agreed to “a framework” to live to be 200. Details later. — PolitiTweet.org
