Interesting @washingtonpost editorial on behalf of phonetics, which was once a right-wing cause. As a child of the "look-say" era when we were taught words instead of sounds, I have come to suspect that phonetics is better. https://t.co/4AY93j2R3I — PolitiTweet.org

This glorious @Peggynoonannyc line on Ron DeSantis should be quoted at every opportunity during the 2024 campaign. DeSantis, she wrote, "carries a vibe...that he might unplug your life support to re-charge his cellphone." https://t.co/gVqUB3SubH — PolitiTweet.org

Now that Biden's reelection bid seems inevitable, there is little upside to the president launching his campaign, as rumored, in April. As I write in @newrepublic: "President Biden is so much more compelling a political figure than Candidate Biden." https://t.co/9RPO3HJbyJ — PolitiTweet.org

@jjlamin @newrepublic My strong sense is that the decision has been made so there is a strong air of inevitability about the whole thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Now that Biden clearly is running for a second term, there is a compelling political argument for him to wait as long as possible to formally declare. I lay out the case in @newrepublic: https://t.co/kKveElNCSC — PolitiTweet.org

A great @jackshafer column: "Thanks to the Dominion lawsuit...the extremely talented and accomplished Tucker Carlson, hoodwinked by his own ambition, became the very thing the younger and smarter Tucker Carlson scorned in 2003. A transparent phony." https://t.co/EGVvccWmgt — PolitiTweet.org

@ProPoliticsPod @ZacMcCrary I love the theory (it was not originally mine) that Wellstone would have been the Howard Dean of the 2004 primaries. And Dean would have gotten the nomination as a non-threatening moderate Democratic doctor who also opposed the Iraq War. (Bottom line: God, how I miss Wellstone). — PolitiTweet.org

Terrific @JillDLawrence column on DC crime bill and home rule: "I have never been able to vote for a senator or regular House member. I’ve visited Wyoming and Vermont many times, and I’d love to see Congress overturn most or all of their gun laws." https://t.co/RzymRVDYST — PolitiTweet.org

@RachelBitecofer @jefftimmer It is possible to hate McConnell for the Supreme Court and cheer his comments on January 6. Sometimes politicians are more complicated than we give them credit for. — PolitiTweet.org

@pinktweets @JoAnneR33576229 Ratings for Newsmax and One America are microscopic. Cable News is heavy on repeat viewers. And while true it is not same 3 million, the overall number is a lot lower than you think. Most voters do not obsessively follow politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Tucker Carlson gets a bit over 3 million viewers per night. Trump got 74 million votes in 2020. Too much media coverage assumes that all 74 million Trump voters watch Fox News nightly. In truth, about 70 million of them have better things to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Couple of things to keep in mind about Carlson: as Dominion suit shows, he has contempt for Fox viewers. And most… https://t.co/U523Z6rrPI
