19:54:28 @mattyglesias Averaging this with other polls (and some election history since there haven’t been very many polls yet) at @ElectionGraphs shows Dems in general doing better than the historical average. But not enough fresh data yet to call Texas close. We shall see. https://t.co/nEtDLcyy5W https://t.co/ceuDohUxSb in reply to mattyglesias

15:03:28 Retweeted @whstancil 14:02:26 This idea – that Trump forces a choice between total war and total capitulation – isn’t unique to the oversight fight. It’s how he conducts EVERYTHING.

23:08:02 Retweeted @ddale8 13:13:42 This omission, in both local and national news, is the reason I started listing his lies in 2016. And it persists.

This time they cover Joe Biden’s launch, the hollowing out of DHS, Trump’s efforts to resist congressional investigations, the question of if the women running for president (specifically Harris and Warren) are getting enough attention, the failure of the Galaxy Fold, some feedback on previous Assange comments, and finally spam, of both the phone and email varieties.

03:15:47 Retweeted @owillis 03:15:14 Obviously impeaching a president without a Senate conviction is a political disaster1998 GOP impeaches Clinton
1998 midterms GOP loses seats, retains control of House
2000 Bush вЂњwinsвЂќ
2002 midterms GOP takes Senate

This forces Dems to choose: Impeachment, or neuter themselves.

22:07:16 It may not be all of it, but so much trouble seems to come from using one umbrella term to cover so much. And some of the push to lump everything into one bucket seems to come from how our health care systems link definitions and official diagnoses into access to services. https://t.co/esCi3IHYQe
22:26:19 Retweeted @CarrollDoherty 20:43:43 This graphic – in a 2014 piece by the late Andy Kohut – tells you everything you need to know about public views of Richard Nixon and impeachment in 1973-74.

17:41:58 Retweeted @DrewLinzer 17:41:28 Democratic voters support impeachment 76% to 10%.

17:51:39 Retweeted @revmagdalen 17:36:14 Trump is exposing that for 243 years we basically secured our Republic using the honor system, instead of a system of explicit laws based on the idea that sooner or later someone will come along intent on exploiting the system for personal gain.
18:19:35 Retweeted @tcwittes 14:16:59 вЂќI never considered joining the Never Trump Republican efforts. Their criticisms of President Trump’s lack of character and unfitness for office were spot-on, of course, but they didn’t seem very pragmatic.вЂќ This says so much. https://t.co/5YWddthJJD

19:01:07 Retweeted @RonBrownstein 18:23:58 A growing story through the 2020s will be rising tension between increasingly diverse younger generations and a Republican SCOTUS majority nominated & confirmed by the parts of America least touched by demographic & cultural change. Explosions loom ahead. https://t.co/IDknVAOfeW https://t.co/ivY9zMnruX
19:05:19 Retweeted @ibogost 18:39:05 This is a fascinating case.On the one hand, it’s difficult to overstate how impressive it is to get SMB running on a C64.
On the other hand, there’s almost no question that the result, an audio-visual experience that completely replicates the original game, is an infringement. https://t.co/ee6rOnMxXb
