Three weeks since Scalia's death, and GOP still confident in its position of opposing any pre-election replacement. https://t.co/dLujKwlJqm — PolitiTweet.org

Good reminder from Clinton: big news of last week was McConnell personally telling Obama Senate would not consider a SCOTUS nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @nhannahjones: Free college for kids receiving such a poor education they can't get into a good state school is useless. #DemDebate — PolitiTweet.org

School integration. Teacher pay. Teacher training. Standards. Anything but free college. And we are now done without education. Really? — PolitiTweet.org

Obama did a ton on education reform. Much of it was hated by the left and right. https://t.co/ztWPVexwvI — PolitiTweet.org

Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr

Need more precise education questions. Should feds set standards or states? Charter schools? Higher teacher pay? Vouchers? — PolitiTweet.org

We have to end the view that black=ghetto=poor. And that was implied in the comments of a Democratic presidential candidate. (Sanders.) — PolitiTweet.org

I don't think presidents can fix race relations, whatever that means. And I find it unhelpful to ask them to. — PolitiTweet.org

I was hopeful about this question. I got lots of mentions of MLK that were not super-interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

Federal prisons house only about 13 percent of the overall prison population. https://t.co/auQsOhbSBK — PolitiTweet.org

The 1994 crime bill did NOT by itself create mass incarceration. Most criminal justice policy set by states. https://t.co/auQsOhbSBK — PolitiTweet.org

30,000 deaths at the hands of guns each year. About 2/3 of deaths are suicides. https://t.co/W61mQeSIZi — PolitiTweet.org

Give Clinton credit here. Can you imagine Trump speaking about the Export-Import bank in this detail? — PolitiTweet.org

This trade discussion is not super-sophisticated. Worth reading this piece by @LHSummers. https://t.co/gWeNjYd6GL — PolitiTweet.org

If you are curious, per Politico, Clinton's speech at Goldman Sachs was pretty pro-Goldman Sachs. https://t.co/B9IFk5FD4y — PolitiTweet.org

Sanders wasn't opposed to saving the auto industry, so I found some of Clinton's argument here misleading. — PolitiTweet.org

This NYT article explains the difference between how Sanders and Clinton viewed the 2009 bailout funds. https://t.co/zdokWh5LcL — PolitiTweet.org

Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr

Clinton is right: Sanders voted against part of the bailout bill. But he was opposed because of money that went to Wall Street. — PolitiTweet.org

Not just Flint. Really good story on the problems of lead in water across the country. https://t.co/DkJKgHnuLA — PolitiTweet.org
