Per a new Crimson survey of the incoming class, Harvard is exceedingly left of center. Shocking exactly nobody, I presume. https://t.co/ogEayUh6OL
Shocking that not a single person in Biden Admin has been fired over Afghanistan.
If Trump didn’t exist, I’d say Biden is the weakest US President since Carter. But Trump—and his ongoing efforts to destroy legitimacy of US political institutions—changes the baseline. Makes it harder to offer fair and unbiased judgement.

@Omurchu64 @HRCDemocrat No, I was not.
@laurelbrett11 That was an incredible night. Absolutely fine by me.
@schwartzlady3 @KJohn0906 About as quickly, yes.
@rereynol I reacted to Trump’s presidency earlier than that. And I’ll amend my perspective as facts merit it.
@Gu_rebel High. But he won’t run again.
@CarlEberhart I was quicker to judge Trump.
@twoforfives Nah. It’s important to put forward your perspective irrespective of whether folks agree. Similar to why short term profit maximization isn’t a good way to run your company long term.
@moonbeamvotes @marklaporta Yes it does. It also says a lot about the qualities necessary to win elections, which (sadly) have nothing to do with governing.
@KJohn0906 Yes. I scrutinized Trump much more quickly, to be honest.
@howardgrayIII Wrote a whole book about it.
@HRCDemocrat I was willing to do it after a few months of Trump. Feels unfair not to after 9 months of Biden.
@RuaisLampSilog That’s clearly a challenge.
@marklaporta Hickenlooper, Bullock…my favorites had zero chance. I’m grateful Trump lost.
@hendrick_jamie No. His (and his family’s) corruption, and his hand picked Cabinet’s alignment with the most entrenched special interests in the country makes it clear.
This tweet shouldn’t perform well. It’s just an honest perspective, not meant to appeal to a political team.
@eshow1969 I’m not saying he shouldn’t. It’s just obvious red meat to the base, and JD is working 24/7 to be first on that.

@Troyliss @tcburkejr @phillips_allen1 @jeffatc28 @NormOrnstein @AnaCabrera The criticism is "don't lump in police unions with unions."

It doesn't have to be harsh. You can thank the old you for getting you this far. But they don't know how to get you any further in this new world, imo, so you're going to have to realize that and step into a new consciousness. None of your old priorities matter now.
the sooner you get to acceptance of what happened, the sooner you can get to the fun stuff like anger, despair and moving on, so taking some time to accept that our old reality is over...would be very productive imo
Anyway. I had more than the usual exposure to death and sickness over the past few years and what this pandemic looks like is a lot like what that struggle and those questions look like. A lot of people thought sickness is what happens to other people, and now they know different
@btharris93 It's clear in the thread. If you want to be a patronizing asshole, keep it moving, I have no interest in humoring whatever jejune nonsense you think you're pulling here
The basic problem imo is that we all died last year. And now we are in our zombie lives. And some people recognize that and some people still think they're alive the way they were before. It's like Thornton Wilder's Our Town. We're chatting underneath our own gravestones.
The old you is dead, you know. Whatever version of you that existed until March 2020. You can't crawl into the coffin and reanimate it so use what you can to rebuild. imo.
I also think that whether we acknowledge it or not, we are all in grief. We've all gotten a message of "whatever your previous incarnation was, this was as far as it was ever going to get you." We have to create new lives and not everyone knows the old life is dead

I think "cost" is properly measured as the net increase in spending, not the net increase in the deficit.

It's been 6 days since POLITICO reporter @SchreckReports published a new book verifying the key emails from Hunter's laptop, including Joe's role in the China deal. Not one outlet that spread the CIA lie that it was Russian disinformation (except POLITICO) has even mentioned it.
To see what liberal corporate media outlets really are, do this thought experiment: Imagine if Schreckinger's book had proved the Biden emails were *forged* instead of verifying them. He'd be all over the place instead of ignored. That's how you know they lie on purpose.
@DerekjAndersen Are you going to hold yourself accountable for your use of ugly slurs? https://t.co/IECw14BTmN
The most damaging and aggressive agents of disinformation in the United States are large corporate media outlets. All journalists make mistakes. The way to know that they're deliberate disinformation agents is when they ignore evidence that they lied. That shows it's purposeful.

Don't you wish that instead of CPTPP, as the successor to the TPP, they had given it some sort of Kingdom Hearts or Evangelion movie sequel name instead?
@rzhongnotes Absolutely, yeah, I find it quite disappointing from Harvey. His comments at The China Question conference in January 2020, which I also spoke on, were also just to basically praise China's governance as qualitatively different than the West, yet offering little proof for this
This points to the political contestation over the agricultural sector that's been occurring in the background since the Tsai administration took power
Regarding TAPMC, well, it used to be headed by Han Kuo-yu. The later appointment of Wu Yin-ning, an agricultural expert with a left-wing, pan-Green background, as head also became an issue of contention with Ko Wen-je several years ago
@rzhongnotes I've long been amused by that Harvey, as well as Naomi Klein, are so heavily reliant on Wang Hui as basically their sole source of info on China. Even without Chinese ability, it's just bad practice to assume that one individual has the end-all-be-all on China or any other place

In trying to rally the public to make up the shortfall and sell Taiwanese fruit as a high-end product to Japan. That being said, this raises long-term issues about Taiwanese agriculture's over-reliance on the Chinese market

Maybe Aaron Rodgers is like a great goalie in hockey: he's so good he papers over all the ways the franchise screws up, until the accumulated weight of screw-ups outweighs the greatness
Ahhhh, shit. That’s a baaaaaad hit

@DavidWCochrane @SeanFitz_Gerald Well, me and @DownGoesBrown are in a weirdly mirrored 50-50 game for me to go 3-0. It all started when I got the seventh pick in the draft in a league which I have no won in its 20-year existence. So first, I took Alvin Kamara. No regrets there! But then came the second round! I
@DavidWCochrane Do I regret trading Trey Lance to @SeanFitz_Gerald to fill a hole in our two-QB league? Not yet! But probably soon!

A fully vaccinated Joe Biden gets a covid booster shot, that will boost his already enhanced vaccinated immune system, *while wearing a mask* , and he's just bewildered at why more people aren't getting vaccinated.

I have no idea if he's interested in leaving SF (I wouldn't be) but the Mets should also look into trying to get Farhan to turn things around.
Before the season began, PECOTA projected the Giants to finish the season 75-87. They've won 102 games with 6 to go. Farhan Zaidi might have the best brain in baseball. What an unbelievable accomplishment from San Francisco, regardless of what happens in October.

^Last tweet was not critical of Ohtani, who can do no wrong imho.
Ohtani now says winning is the most important thing for him. Kind of strange he signed with a team that hadn’t made the playoffs in so long over, say, the Yankees or Dodgers. Or maybe losing has changed his mindset. https://t.co/0zbPkxQCJo

@jbarro Why are spending and deficit levels important? I don't think either are. What matters, IMO, is quality, and quantity. And given the heterogeneity of the economy (where there are shortages, where there aren't etc.) what does a headline number that combines it all accomplish?

Every day, crypto people wake up, sneer no coiners, and talk about how pumping their bags is saving the world. Every day, fiat people wake up and think about legal approaches to avoiding a default on the national debt, with no personal monetary gain.

@andraswf @ClaireNewton79 @StevePeers @maggie_erewash Freedom in this instance meaning for them to be batshit crazy, but for people actually fleeing persecution to be carted off as quickly as possible.
@ClaireNewton79 @StevePeers @maggie_erewash And it is more dangerous to suggest asylum seekers in general are a risk to society, as is done in her comments. This rhetoric just increases risks against them, which considering asylum seekers are more likely to be victims to serious crime than perpetrators is not reasonable.
