@nicolidp ehh... I’d say the over/under for the number of hours the average Mormon family with young kids actually catches is like... 1.5? (Our kids quietly colored for like 30 minutes, then started throwing stuff at each other, and then went upstairs to plot a literal attack against me) — PolitiTweet.org

@omccombeiro I wish I could grow a beard as glorious as yours but I am skeptical. Thank you for the vote of support, though — PolitiTweet.org

@billscher I've been using it! Also something called beard oil. It's helped (I think) but it's still itchy! People keep telling me I have to just push through the first few weeks but I don't know if I have what it takes. — PolitiTweet.org

@ibflorea hmm can't think of any, not sure what you're talking about — PolitiTweet.org

@ibflorea Ah, see, this is where having young kids comes in handy—I am almost never available to skype/zoom at night. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the nice things about working at @TheAtlantic these past few weeks has been getting glimpses into my colleagues’ lives through thoughtful, poignant, often-funny personal essays. This ⁦@AdamHSays⁩ piece is wonderful: https://t.co/A32a8BX6Ya — PolitiTweet.org

I'm starting Spanish lessons for my kids (and hoping to brush up myself). Tips, resources, lesson plans, etc. welcome. Possibly useful context: My home-school students are 7 and 5, and are already sick of me. — PolitiTweet.org

"Ignore anyone ... who tells you that their policy is above criticism, that politics don’t apply in a pandemic, or that accountability and transparency need to be suspended for some indefinite period of time. The opposite is true," @anneapplebaum writes. https://t.co/KGeohu3KAE — PolitiTweet.org

A woman in Brooklyn was arrested for allegedly failing to maintain social distancing. She was "taken to the local precinct and then to central booking, where she shared a cell with two dozen other women for the next 36 hours," , reports @alicesperi. https://t.co/lq06u6pxqq — PolitiTweet.org

@TangoEchoAlpha @whpresscorps I don't understand, are you comparing a year's worth of influenza deaths to a day's worth of coronavirus deaths...? — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

The U.S. topped 1,000 coronavirus deaths in a single day for the first time Wednesday. Remember how many people, just a few weeks ago, found it inconceivable this would happen here. https://t.co/Tt895Geied — PolitiTweet.org

@ElliotAndersonv @WillOremus Did you read it? It's pretty persuasive! — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

"People actually do need to buy significantly more toilet paper during the pandemic — not because they’re making more trips to the bathroom, but because they’re making more of them at home." This, from @WillOremus, is extremely informative (and not gross)! https://t.co/aB1QbGZ5MQ — PolitiTweet.org
