If the California GOP were a strong & serious party it would've worked to clear field of the rabble & rabble-rousers and put all its weight behind a competent & conventional candidate like Faulconer. Would've kept Newsom the issue and laid foundation for rebuilding GOP.
@scottlincicome Frankly, I think we could use a piece from you on how patent enforcement on the guillotine broke down. I mean anybody can make one without paying a royalty.
Twitter has been its full self today.
@asymmetricinfo @jonathanchait I think that's right. But I think there's wrongness, too. * It's not courageous, it's trolling. * It's a propagandistic slogan -- the rich are taxed. * She's buying into the vulgar wealth culture she claims to oppose while getting all its benefits.
When feelings and passions become the currency of the realm, the aristocracy shall wear slogans as jewels upon their gowns. https://t.co/FGWa0Br8Xi

I don’t trust Woodward as a narrator. Never have. He may have basic facts right (in this case) but his spin on them has always depended on who gives him access. For instance his version of the Pence convo reads to me like Pence refused to talk and Quayle sang like a bird. 3/
I still want to think and learn more. But What I find amazing is how both the people who normally whine about sourcing and fake news *and* the supposedly tough minded and cynical reporters take Woodward as gospel — at least publicly. 5/5
@neontaster Here's some depressing news for you. The allergies will get worse every year until you die or leave. Cheers!
Some thoughts on the Woodward stuff. I increasingly try not to tweet my first takes in response to big, important, news. The Woodward story is a good illustration why. I’ve changed my mind several times on Milley in the last 24 hrs. I’m glad I didn’t get locked into a take. 1/

If you never followed Norm MacDonald on Twitter, it was a trip because a big chunk of it was just Norm live-tweeting golf like he was whispering the Tweets into his phone and then deleting all the tweets after.
In every important way, in the world of stand-up, Norm was the best. An opinion shared by me and all peers. Always up to something, never certain, until his matter-of-fact delivery leveled you.

Norm Macdonald was so beloved among his fellow comedic greats that he appeared on the final network TV broadcasts of both Letterman AND Conan O’Brien. And killed on both.

These graphics just confirm what anyone who's been looking at Israel's data over the past month knows: 3rd doses have meaningfully reduced the risk of severe illness and death for vaccinated 60+ (from low to v. low), and had a big impact on the risk of getting infected at all. https://t.co/c6fOqqvOMH

Really sad about Norm Macdonald - not only funny but a smart comic. Not a sell out. Damn.
Romney asking good Qs, the opposite of a congressional poaster https://t.co/hZiUyo79XB
So many comedians are scared, especially these days. Norm seemed to be the opposite: The more he felt that people didn't want to hear something, the more he felt compelled to say it -- & did say it, & remembered to make it funny. There isn't enough of any of that, & we need it.
Norm Macdonald passed away and that is a real gut punch. He was such a funny person and one of those comedians I grew up watching on SNL. Really crushing news to see.

@tkdylan @JohnEkdahl If an attack was ordered and Milley called him then that's a pretty tight case! But telling him he'd do so in peacetime? I don't think that's what the law describes. Threatening to hypothetically commit treason means he's got to go obviously, but I'm saying he didn't commit it.

Kind of wonder what would have happened in California if Republicans had fielded a credible alternative to Newsom. Elder was a gift.
@jonathanchait @JonahDispatch @asymmetricinfo I mean, I doubt it. But setting that aside, I don’t think AOC’s opposition to “billionaires” means she is fine with people having nine-figure net worth but not ten-figure net worth. (This isn’t a criticism of her, to be clear.)

Say what you want about Elder but he’d been talking about policy and ideas on his shows since the early 90s. Jenner couldn’t even remember how she voted.
To be fair, Dems were scrambling for some way to scare their base, so they spent a little time talking about her. But she quickly revealed herself as a lightweight and it was clear that Republican voters weren’t interested in voting for her.

@Neoavatara @RobGeorge @TPCarney I believe it is the CDCs recommendation that we vaccinated continue to mask
The biggest compliment I can give Norm MacDonald: He had a brain and he used it. Most of us don't use ours. We restrict ourselves because we're worried about what people might think. He didn't care. He just did his thing. Not everything worked or made sense, but that's OK.
Patently unfair we lose Norm MacDonald so young. He made fun of me (not in any way maliciously) on a podcast once. I considered it the highest of honors. And of course he was so incredibly funny. His "autobiography" is hilarious.

One of the most important lessons I have learned is that being extremely online leads one to believe that other people are extremely online and that positioning fights are very stupid.
I attended the Met Gala to fight Climate Change.
@KevinWGlass The booster debate has been probably the most flabbergasting one I've seen since everyone agrees on the facts, everyone who wants it can get it, and the fight is literally just over getting the CDC to say "we formally recommend this"
When I was in my early 20s, a boss said to me offhandedly, "You know you're no longer young when you're older than all of your favorite athletes." Today, I noted another person nominated to be a federal judge is younger than I am. That's less lyrical but probably more painful.

New Pew Research Center poll of business vaccine mandates: 39% say businesses should mandate vaccines 35% businesses should encourage mandates, but not require them 25% businesses should take no position
@BenjySarlin @amyewalter The constitutionally questionable mandate for private companies of 100+ is the most controversial. It may not even get implemented amid legal challenges + drives public opposition to an issue he could have held upper hand on.
@BenjySarlin @amyewalter Perhaps our differing perspectives stem from our understanding of risk for vaccinated. I think Biden could have helped himself merely by reassuring vaccinated Americans that the vaccines work well, nothing to fear — adding the public school/health mandates to the mix.
@svdate @BenjySarlin @amyewalter Not since delta. There was justifiable anxiety that the vaccines weren’t as effective and vaccinated people could easily spread the virus. That’s when the messaging has gotten all muddled.
@BenjySarlin @amyewalter So that’s the point of the column: If most holdouts won’t get vaccinated even with mandates — and they’re extending the length of pandemic — won’t the pandemic persist? And Biden still in the same troubling spot?
@BenjySarlin So if you’re not gonna move most of the remaining holdouts, for political reasons why not reassure the vaccinated? After all, Biden himself said that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated at the outset of his speech.
@BenjySarlin @amyewalter A lot of the anxiety stems from fears about how effective the vaccines really were during delta — and muddled communication during that period. Why not pair strong vaccine advocacy w assurance that the vaccines work as well as advertised — and nothing to fear but fear itself?
@BenjySarlin @amyewalter Didn’t address this in the column but… As far as the politics go, wouldn’t an alternative strategy have been to ensure anxious Americans that the vaccines work well? That they don’t have much to worry about, per the new data, and can protect themselves with masking?
@amyewalter Agree. That’s kind of why I think shifting the debate to mandates instead of simply offering clear communications about who needs boosters + guidance for kids would have been more politically beneficial. There’s now more confusion than ever, for instance, on boosters.
@amyewalter If this becomes even more of a partisan football — without achieving the desired results — it won’t be helpful for Biden politically.
@amyewalter A lot of the Bide problems have been expecting rosier outcomes from their policies — expecting an economic boom sans inflation. Or a clean withdrawal from Afghanistan.
@amyewalter Ultimately, IMHO, the political outcome will be dependent on whether the mandates work — if we see a spike in vaccinations and sharp decline in cases. As noted in the column, hardcore holdouts still looking like hardcore holdouts.

I think that in democratic countries, citizens should embrace the opinion that Afghan women are entitled to a set of basic, universal human rights, and that we should urge our governments to convey that message in its foreign affairs. https://t.co/QcMVDYzRZS
Norm Macdonald has passed away. He was one of the best comics ever. After we talked in 2011 I couldn't believe what an amazing talk it was. I still can't. One of the best episodes. Here it is. RIP https://t.co/344Ph5pFjn

Whataboutism is when you try to excuse bad behavior by pointing to a similar but unrelated incident, as if two wrongs make a right (or at least an ok). Whataboutism is not when you look at one bad thing and argue that Person X was more responsible for the badness than Person Y. https://t.co/LPbfBQyQiL
I got my first covid test of the entire pandemic yesterday (negative). Have guests coming who will then travel internationally and been feeling off so wanted to make sure. Might be the ragweed. I've never had allergies before moving to DC so I don't recognize what they feel like.
Plenty of them are not silent but piling on - sharing the story (Bari Weiss), snitch-tagging her employer (Megan Kelley), calling for her to be fired (James Lindsay). Because they don’t actually care about cancel culture or free speech if it’s not protecting them. https://t.co/LYUusG7kok
Norm MacDonald’s idea of a perfect joke was that the setup and the punchline would be the same. I think about this all the time, because we are all living in a Norm MacDonald joke.
@SonnyBunch @BecketAdams @FearTheFloof @lachlan sandals!
@BecketAdams @FearTheFloof @lachlan I was radicalized into being a normie.
I am struggling to understand how Milley betrayed Trump if Trump didn’t intend to attack China and Milley told them we wouldn’t.
@jonathanchait The entire discourse is very stupid, not least because these sorts of stunts only scandalize the online right and the folks in attendance mostly agree with the signaling.
@CurtisHouck You think I have ice just lying around like some wealthy lord?
20 years later, Osama is dead, piles of al Qaeda operatives have been killed, there hasn’t been another 9/11, etc. But thousands of U.S. servicemembers also lost their lives, Zawahiri is free, KSM is sitting in Gitmo with no trial date, & Taliban just took over Afghanistan again.

And, also, the last 30 days were an unparalleled debacle that is owned almost wholly by this White House, blinkered ideologically-driven apple polishing notwithstanding.
There are potentially thousands of US citizens and LPRs to say nothing of the tens of thousands of eligible Afghan evacuees still in Taliban hands. The reason why this segment occurred is because this is a live, ongoing crisis, not a retrospective on the last two decades. https://t.co/JjB78iJAap
