Blunt is retiring and will likely never run for office again. So he's not taking this approach because the party base is demanding it. So he truly thinks it is appropriate to center a famous black woman non-senator's role in a proposal from an actual senator. — PolitiTweet.org

Wiley is promising to tell the NYPD "you work for me" and govern that way. That will be hard to actually do. But it's the right framing. We so badly need mayors in cities across the country to manage the police, not be managed by them. — PolitiTweet.org

Maya Wiley hasn't always been the most bold or progressive figure. But a candidate's policy platform is usually a better proxy for how they will govern than their past. (See Biden, Joe) And Wiley is proposing the kinds of policies we need in our cities. https://t.co/kjuEdXMUH3 — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. So prescient. Obviously, Biden’s policies are way better for black people than Trump’s. But policies, even in cities and states where Dems have big majorities, are way behind the rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

In particular, I doubt Manchin is enjoying Clyburn, Warnock and basically every prominent black person in America implying he is prioritizing the rights of the minority party in the Senate over the rights of minorities in the country. But that framing is hard for him to ignore. — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful people also don't often admit that their judgments were off. One of the barriers to Breyer, Manchin and Sinema moving from their current stances is that they will have to admit their theories of politics were wrong, with McConnell basically disapproving them in public. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with a lot of what Biden said here and it's worth absorbing it. Presidents shouldn't be pie-in-the-sky, but an "optimistic front" can be useful. Journalists should challenge those in power, but we can be overly negative. — PolitiTweet.org

It's always hard to say precisely what the dominant/main "narrative" is about people/events---there are always many narratives But I tried to distill what I think are the dominant narratives about the vice president and why they are slightly off. https://t.co/bcCHMSEmpD — PolitiTweet.org

Is it all the fault of Joe (Manchin) or has Joe (Biden) gotten more cautious after his initial first 100 days? https://t.co/T8XO79EbMi
