03:58:38 Retweeted @authorlmendez 03:54:47 I’ve been talking about what a dominant position Biden starts out in for months now but stuff like this, which anybody paying attention knew was going to come up in some manner given his history, is why I never said he was unbeatable either https://t.co/xsqQN0YUP5

04:50:19 Retweeted @nycsouthpaw 2019-03-28 19:37:42 Notice how McConnell is about to force through a Senate rules change that will allow him to populate federal offices with Trump nominees 15x faster and no networks are breaking in with special reports? You probably haven’t even gotten a push notification from your newspaper…
04:55:10 Retweeted @PelosiForSF 01:30:57 When @PeteButtigieg makes more flattering comments about Mike Pence than he does Hillary Clinton, there’s a perspective problem. https://t.co/p8x1kShC2e
15:14:17 Retweeted @SamWangPhD 11:21:57 A flashback to presidential-primary polls for widely contested nominations. Is Pete Buttigieg going to rise and rise…or is he the Herman Cain of April 2019? https://t.co/JeoV0Ti3EP https://t.co/vdtvNjoa1y
16:39:21 Retweeted @ZerlinaMaxwell 14:57:49 Why do some white Dems do this thing where they try not to offend people who voted for Trump but in turn offend every person of color? It’s a big problem.Trump is a racist and that wasn’t a deal breaker for the people that voted for him. That’s just a fact.

00:18:10 Retweeted @jrpsaki 2019-03-27 18:41:20 .@AOC deserves huge credit for breaking through the noise and putting climate change on the national radar by talking about it in human terms. Health asthma clean water. many Democrats have been trying to do for decades. She has done it. It’s in the conversation.
01:40:13 Retweeted @davidfrum 2019-03-27 23:24:20 So Andrew Napolitano’s 700 page estimate … not wrong. How did a Fox News talker know that relevant information before any congressional committee chair? https://t.co/KMSbx37RKY

16:43:13 Retweeted @bettinasays 15:36:55 In tears reading this article by @IjeomaOluo. My experience with conversations on anti-racism work is too often that white people want to stop feeling badly, not stop doing harm.

03:05:49 @Politics_Polls @Be0ptimus @FirehouseStrat The margins vs Trump listed for MI in the text of the Firehouse page don’t match the graphs. Says Biden tie, Bernie -2, O’Rourke -8.
