“This is going to be an important question that we have to ask ourselves: What public health measures actually were the most impactful, and which ones had negligible effect or backfired by driving behavior underground?” https://t.co/mMwrJb8kEc — PolitiTweet.org

@tomgara Kind of shocked this one didn't come out when he was still in office. How many more Trump anecdotes can there possibly be?? — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

I personally know some who have, but they seem like the exception rather than the rule. — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Genuine question: Do we have any numbers indicating what percentage of Americans has actually avoided small outdoor gatherings with close family for the entire pandemic? — PolitiTweet.org

One pretty notable thing about Rubio's standard here is that it effectively rules out supporting union drives at companies with overtly conservative management (i.e. a lot of Republican donors!) — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Yeah, I mean, we'll see how this works out for Rubio. But the good news for unions is that the list of companies that have run afoul of the right in the culture wars—and now must be punished by Rubio's standard—is pretty long! https://t.co/oNSrfa44QZ — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Rubio pretty blunt about his calculus here: "Here’s my standard: When the conflict is between working Americans and a company whose leadership has decided to wage culture war against working-class values, the choice is easy — I support the workers." https://t.co/M4FELM0eEe — PolitiTweet.org

@ibflorea I think it's an indication of which the winds are blowing *right now* — doesn't mean they won't shift! — PolitiTweet.org

@MatthewFuntime Read the tweet again, slowly if you have to. — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Whatever you think of his motives here, the fact that onetime donor-class darling Marco Rubio is siding with labor in a high-profile union battle is an interest indication of which way the winds are blowing in Republican politics. — PolitiTweet.org

"[T]he days of conservatives being taken for granted by the business community are over," Rubio writes in a USA Today op-ed posting this morning. "I stand with [workers] at Amazon’s Bessemer warehouse." — PolitiTweet.org

@JeremiahWJohn I mean, intellectual/ideological diversity is just about the only kind of diversity BYU can claim! — PolitiTweet.org

@krystafauria Yeah that's unacceptable. My wife has gotten serious about running this past year, while I have become a person who slowly paces around my home office to "get my steps in" while I look at twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

When we start seeing each other in person again, I'm going to be deeply resentful—and slightly suspicious—of anyone who didn't get fatter during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

@BigFIsh96485020 I don’t actually write about my religion very often at all, but I’ll take the compliment! — PolitiTweet.org

@janecoaston are the "victim-blaming"/stereotype criticisms here fair? (some of this, i imagine, is jut a factor of the true crime genre.) — PolitiTweet.org

Remember that 2017 internet gag where people would take Trump's tweets and reformat them as official presidential statements to underscore how ridiculous they were? Trump is apparently just... doing that himself now. — PolitiTweet.org
