18:37:46 Retweeted @drvox 18:34:33 The notion that only one’s conscious intentions matter, morally speaking, is precisely what has allowed guys to ignore, compartmentalize, and justify this kind of shit for so long. https://t.co/kwxMW0F1Ke
19:58:29 Retweeted @kkondik 19:47:25 helpful graphic from Pew about contested presidential conventions — FDR was the last president who was not nominated on the first ballot (1932), Stevenson was last major party nominee (1952) https://t.co/Grt5mSBOA5 https://t.co/7c4fbHCz9g

00:23:57 Retweeted @matthewamiller 2019-04-03 23:39:17 Just noting: a number of Mueller’s team members are leaving or have left the Justice Department. There’s nothing DOJ can do to stop them from talking to Congress.

03:49:12 Retweeted @washingtonpost 03:34:45 The limited information the attorney general has shared about the Russia investigation frustrated some on Mueller’s team https://t.co/mrG8JQKNwx
03:52:08 Retweeted @xeni 2019-04-03 20:00:11 When you hear a man apologize for violating women’s boundaries by saying вЂњnorms have changed,вЂќ what he means is he used to be able to get away with this shit
03:53:51 Retweeted @mattyglesias 01:55:30 The weirdest thing about Trump Era journalism is that even though the administration’s habit of constantly lying is widely reported, each *new* statement is treated as presumptively true until debunked.
04:16:26 Retweeted @seattletimes 03:36:01 Updated story: Ethiopian jet followed Boeing safety directions but was defeated by tail forces.The procedure Boeing offered to keep planes safe after Lion Air may have doomed the Ethiopian jet.
A chilling simulator test demonstrates the possibility. https://t.co/OyIsJZ00ri https://t.co/WlcBB8Vf1Q

19:42:10 Listening to The Argument Should Biden Run? https://t.co/15VRiAkwBQ
19:47:58 Retweeted @juliacarriew 14:49:42 I don’t think it’s actually that surprising when you remember that hookup culture panic was about *women* having too much sex while decline of sex panic is about *men* having too little. https://t.co/zIXB6QixEz
19:50:46 Retweeted @daveweigel 19:19:22 No offense to Andrew Yang, but it’s going to be a little hard on the egos of some of the longshot members of Congress running for president when he makes the debates and they don’t.
21:03:20 Fun fun fun. https://t.co/Yyq1VWXHUs
21:28:51 Retweeted @NateSilver538 21:22:54 So, we published an interactive today that basically looks at every probabilistic forecast that FiveThirtyEight has ever made (dating back to 2008).Here’s what we found: When we say 70 percent, it *really does* mean 70 percent. https://t.co/FB89fcLAzF

02:02:28 Retweeted @jfritze 00:30:53 “Someone’s going to leak this whole damn speech to the media,” Trump tells NRCC in a speech that is being broadcast live by C-SPAN.
02:09:56 Retweeted @matthewamiller 2019-04-02 13:33:04 Here’s the thing about this: precedent matters. I didn’t think it was a good idea for DOJ to turn over all the Clinton email info in 2016 either, but they did, so that’s now the rule. A system where DOJ only discloses info to Congress about D’s is obviously untenable. https://t.co/BgV7sQojWG

05:57:47 Retweeted @AriBerman 03:36:52 Brian Hagedorn, extreme right-wing judge, is now up by 4,000 votes over Lisa Neubauer with 94% reporting in Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Whatever happens, Dems need to focus way more on down ballot races & not just obsess over presidential election a year away in reply to AriBerman

22:55:18 Retweeted @KristiCCoulter 21:39:52 My @NYMag / @TheCut debut: a personal essay about the weaponization of permission and consent culture.”He had never asked if I’d help him wreck his marriage. He’d made a show of asking what I wanted when he’d already decided what I was going to get.”

23:34:55 Oops https://t.co/0kPcpzWK7U
23:51:36 Retweeted @Lawrence 22:08:25 BREAKING: Ways & Means Chair @RepRichardNeal has just used his unique power to request Trump’s tax returns from the IRS.(Right now would be a very good time for all Democratic presidential candidates to release their tax returns.)

Two women: This wasn’t assault or harassment, but it made me uncomfortable, however well intended.
Everyone: why are you giving Joe Biden the death penalty
19:26:45 Retweeted @chrismoranuk 15:22:51 Here’s a short Guardian blog giving the specifics of a recent data-informed change we’ve made today. Why and how we’re making our timestamps more visible on site and off it

20:18:45 Retweeted @Tom_Winter 20:14:10 NBC News: The U.S. Secret Service arrested and has now charged a Chinese national who entered Mar-A-Lago on March 30th, while the President was in Florida and golfing.A thumb drive containing malicious software was found on Yujing Zhang’s person when she was arrested, docs say.
20:56:08 Retweeted @daveweigel 17:06:43 Also, let’s just acknowledge the elephant in the room: Democrats are confident in a 2020 debate about health care because Trump is unable to elucidate what he wants. He’s incoherent on an issue that any Dem who makes it through the primary will know cold. in reply to daveweigel
21:11:23 Retweeted @skoczela 16:27:27 “New 2020 poll: Good news for Buttigieg and Harris, declines for Biden and Sanders.” This is a headline for a poll showing Biden going from 35% to 33% and Buttigieg going from 2% to 3%. https://t.co/ZPqE4UOutN

@abulsme tweets from 2019-04-01 (UTC)

00:21:32 Retweeted @katherinemiller 00:17:53 That Biden puts his hands on people in public is such a known, obvious fact, that it can come back around to whether you, the individual reader, think it’s bad, bad but minor, or overblown. Which can make straight news coverage a little complicated.
00:24:32 Retweeted @yashar 00:17:43 In a medium post, Stephanie Carter says this viral screenshot capturing a moment between her and Joe Biden wasn’t a #MeToo“A still shot taken from a videoвЂЉвЂ”вЂЉmisleadingly extracted from what was a longer moment between close friends..вЂЉ”

03:38:38 Oh god, I just saw a tweet about something and realized the April Fool’s hijinks have started. Really people, there is no need for this stuff. Once upon a time a small amount of it was cute. But nowвЂ¦ it is just annoying. Stop.

You probably haven’t even gotten a push notification from your newspaper…

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?
