@ogrover @pweingard I've talked to multiple podcast-makers who took the check - and are happy they took the check, bc $ - and ended up being so disappointed with their non-audience that they were planning on not re-upping: They don't want to make work that no one hears. — PolitiTweet.org

To spell it out: that’s not a recovery plan. For instance: if you can’t get teachers, admins etc to schools safely, you can’t reopen schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Based on this interview, the NYC subway pandemic recovery plan is “try not crowd too much”. — PolitiTweet.org

Tara Reade's story about Joe Biden — and the way she told her story — is complicated. So glad @lkmcgann, who has her own story about Reade: https://t.co/uPkRdPo8zJ — helped me think through this. Our chat here: https://t.co/Ck7SOuYzEr — PolitiTweet.org

@Megan Hard to make the ALL IS WELL argument Trump wants to make with a mask on. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Also easy to understand why Not Mask Wearing seems like an easy, low-risk way to tell people that you're a brave individualist who can't be cowed by libs. Which, again, is why it would be helpful if The President of... never mind. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Yes, in the Before Times, masks = scary; a sign that Something Has Gone Wrong. Which is why it would be helpful if The President of The United States helped his citizens get over those connotations. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonWechsler Yeah I just don’t see how moving more work to your house increases balance. Yes, you get your commute time back. But your employers will snatch that back immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

@zinoman The most pointed stuff so far was in last night's episodes. On the one hand, definitely allows Jordan to tell the story the way he wants to tell it. On the other hand, even that telling is telling - the gap between the way Jordan describes himself and his teammates is a big one. — PolitiTweet.org

@sriramk We had lines (not really lines, actually - just a huddle of people trying to figure) for the elevators in our building pre-pandemic. Now imagine that in public spaces, like line ups for subways, busses, stadiums, etc. Seems impossible but also what we're going to have. — PolitiTweet.org
