- 00:46:27 Retweeted @JuddLegum 00:42:37 Today, Trump retweeted:1. A Pizzagate conspiracy theorist
2. A Qanon conspiracy theorist
3. A conspiracy theorist who believes the New Zealand massacre was a plot to limit gun rights
He’s elevating the most unhinged, deranged voices
By tomorrow we’ll forget it even happened

- 00:59:46 Retweeted @RadioFreeTom 00:37:48 I thought this story had an optimistic ending. But I didn’t realize I wasn’t at the end of @ddale8 ‘s thread.Man, now I’m more pessimistic. https://t.co/CAYf91fO2o
- 01:14:34 Retweeted @Yair_Rosenberg 00:36:18 Omar’s section on Israel in this piece is quite reasonable and far better and less fraught than her off-the-cuff tweets on the subject. Which suggests, among other things, that perhaps we’re poorly served by reducing issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to 280 characters. https://t.co/nBoD1bLZSM
- 01:50:21 Retweeted @normative 00:43:55 This is a lot closer to actual socialism than anything AOC or Elizabeth Warren are advocating. https://t.co/uLASsmMTco

- 02:45:18 Retweeted @SamWangPhD 02:26:09 @AndrewYangVFA I have bad news for your position: candidates already don’t go to most rural states. Where do they go? Swing states.Under a national popular vote, candidates would seek votes all over the nation.

- 02:46:40 Retweeted @ASharon004 02:25:26 I was under the impression you kinda had to work a lot as President, but if you get to watch TV and tweet all day well then consider me interested
- 02:54:38 Retweeted @KT_So_It_Goes 00:56:29 things trump claims to know everything about: cars, aeronautics, “technology”, economics, military strategy, aircraft carrier catapults, borders, historythings trump claims to know nothing about: why his staff keeps going to jail, white supremacists https://t.co/PhlfX4TEv1
- 06:24:10 Retweeted @JKCorden 00:16:25 I mean, the consistency with which @AOC is asking these types of questions is astonishing and brilliant. Huge thanks to @nowthisnews for always sharing x https://t.co/pbIUxjv1K2

- 17:42:55 @HughCHEvans @rudnicknoah @SenhorRaposa @ElectionMapsCo There have been a number of these. One of the ones I have seen a lot is this one by Neil Freeman done in 2012: https://t.co/Cyt6Qr0DNA – Redraw the States by Kevin Wilson is also fun to play with: https://t.co/Kbri19b0nr – He talks a bit about it here: https://t.co/3KZzchTC4a in reply to HughCHEvans
- 17:46:32 @HughCHEvans @rudnicknoah @SenhorRaposa @ElectionMapsCo And even more fun, Freeman’s “random states” tool that he put out in 2016… https://t.co/gr4Nx6i350 in reply to abulsme
- 19:22:40 Retweeted @drvox 2019-03-17 21:44:25 We’ve been dulled by its familiarity, but this is a comically ridiculous assertion. We’re supposed to accept that it’s a *danger* that candidates might campaign where most people are, and design their policies to help the most people. https://t.co/z1Rnv91a8M

- 22:15:43 @reesetheone1 You can see how close it was to the line all along, and the move toward Trump in the last few weeks on my chart from @ElectionGraphs from 2016. Clinton was indeed leading most of the time, just not at the very end… https://t.co/KFftEC5IQq https://t.co/noHNKfY660 in reply to reesetheone1
- 22:21:08 @reesetheone1 @ElectionGraphs Just switch the state to see similar for whatever states might be interesting… here are WI, PA, MI, and FL. In all but WI, you can clearly see the swing away from Clinton in the last few weeks. Only FL actually looked red at the end, but all but WI looked too close to call. https://t.co/QY8o49OdUw in reply to abulsme
