@mike_giglio Then read @ChaviKar, a pro-choice ob-gyn who has written a defiantly complicating, nuanced essay on abortion (an issue not typically written about with complication or nuance): https://t.co/XIn3sMxO6l — PolitiTweet.org

Start with this essential piece from @mike_giglio, who has been covering ISIS for years: "U.S. struggles in combatting the ideology of Islamist extremism offer a sobering reminder of how difficult fighting the white-nationalist version will be." https://t.co/nshYFm8XcZ — PolitiTweet.org

I spent all day working through edits on a story, and I'm just now getting a chance to read the internet. Turns out there's some pretty good stuff over at https://t.co/CH4aEGRD2v! — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate @gabrielsnyder's reporting here. My unpopular take is that Baquet seems more thoughtful than he gets credit for from certain quarters (even if he has pretty fundamental disagreements with some of the NYT's readers/critics.) https://t.co/k4CaE8XwpM — PolitiTweet.org

He's been signaling his coming resignation for months. I wrote about it in June (https://t.co/8IdqiZetPp) as did other outlets in Utah. His resignation doesn't even take effect until October. There is literally nothing "abrupt" about this. — PolitiTweet.org

@jehawks i get what they were trying to avoid. I don’t know what I was expecting—maybe just Russian/Ukrainian actors? (again, i may just not have been in the right mood...) — PolitiTweet.org

it’s possible i was not in the right mood. mood seems like an important factor in enjoying this show — PolitiTweet.org

Sources told me in June that Huntsman is expected to return home after hitting his two-year in Russia mark this fall. (He's also considering a run for governor of Utah.) https://t.co/8IdqiZetPp https://t.co/YflYix4KmZ — PolitiTweet.org

“We’re all tired of being called racists," a Trump supporter told @elainaplott at last night's rally. "I don’t want [Omar's] stinkin’ Muslim crap in my country," another Trump supporter told @elainaplott at the same rally. https://t.co/BMtf349hYA — PolitiTweet.org

When I was reporting on Huntsman’s plans earlier this year, his allies seeemed to assume he would walk away with the primary if he ran. This is just one poll, but I do wonder whether he’s up for a slog of a campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder if low-level Russian propagandists try to retroactively take credit for random stuff that happens in US politics and use it to ask for a raise — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Seems like the constant paranoia among a certain swath of Twitter that every political development they don’t like is a secret Russian propaganda campaign is... kind of helpful to Russian propagandists! — PolitiTweet.org

still think networks should just automatically disqualify candidates who respond to specific policy questions by saying "we need to have a conversation about that." douse them with a bucket of slime. open up a trap door under their podium. — PolitiTweet.org

@jessicaesquire FWIW it sounds like I started at BYU a year or two after the author. I didnt have much trouble finding people (men or women!) who wanted to debate the Iraq war, for example. I’m not saying the culture doesn’t exist. But there are over 30,000 students! All kinds of people go there — PolitiTweet.org
