Conservatives have long wanted to push states to declare bankruptcy (and thereby likely limit/end some pension programs), @davidfrum explains. This is not an idea that McConnell came up with out of nowhere. https://t.co/1tZVFjKiSv https://t.co/PSuFk9tPGs — PolitiTweet.org

Reading @jackmjenkins excellent new book "American Prophets." He argues (persuasively in my view) that Trump's rise spurred the emergence of a more organized and vocal religious left. https://t.co/1jRtgUY6DS — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic leaders (Biden, Pelosi, Schumer) are handling the politics of COVID-19 like they do everything else--cautiously, with an eye towards the median voter. This has might work but has some clear disadvantages, @brianbeutler argues. https://t.co/aL4nxp3dwR https://t.co/VFb9mahjdg — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic leaders basically choose the party's U.S. Senate candidate in most states, no matter what the locals want. And party leaders almost always choose more centrist candidates over more liberal ones. Great story by @bobmoserwrites https://t.co/xgt0dhaB3y https://t.co/Sqo6OFjS7y — PolitiTweet.org

Federal agencies and state governments spent Friday, in the midst of a pandemic, explaining that people should not inject disinfectants into their bodies--while trying not to offend the person who floated this idea. Great story by @PhilipRucker and others. https://t.co/gQa1dbMJDs https://t.co/lMoCGxicOE — PolitiTweet.org

There is effectively a mini-primary going on between Abrams and Harris over who would be the best running mate for Biden. Great story @AsteadWesley https://t.co/GmgpmeOiN0 — PolitiTweet.org

Rank and file Republicans favor (fairly strongly) social distancing and stay-at-home orders (contra the protesters.) But many of them are also worried those policies might go on for too long and do long-term damage to the economy. https://t.co/rteH9TS7DK — PolitiTweet.org

Many GOP politicians and other conservative elites are increasingly wary of social distancing. Polls suggest rank and file GOP voters don't share this view--at least so far. https://t.co/NY6V0Mxd2D https://t.co/keL6cEg8nE — PolitiTweet.org

As @brianbeutler lays out well here, Trump has a lot of informal powers to effectively force "reopening the economy," even if he lacks the formal, legal authority to do so. https://t.co/EJtPuyJZF4 https://t.co/AUvz8n5dJ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Did Sanders lose because of failings of his strategy--or because the Dem establishment is strong and the left much weaker? We examined both cases. With thoughts from @brianefallon, @Jacob_S_Hacker, @jnoisecat, @hakeemjefferson, @benjaminknoll28 and others. https://t.co/Z5MT5ImnhF — PolitiTweet.org
