The newest marginalized identity category is "publicist"

[Savannah Britt @sav_britt]

PSA to @nytimes @GQMagazine @VanityFair your freelancer @viajoshhunt is publishing hate tweets about publicists who are an essential part of the publishing ecosystem. He is attempting to erase an entire workforce that is vital in delivering news, fact checking and event happenings for the sake of… his own agenda

Remember, many NHPA slowdowns are not about demolishing protected buildings but whether you can see a dim smudge of a wind turbine on the horizon from the window of that protected building.

[Douglas Holtz-Eakin @djheakin]

You will never lower prices by subsidizing demand. Please write on a chalkboard 100 times.

[Paul E Williams @PEWilliams_]

Hey @joelmwarner and @davidsirota, Center for Public Enterprise is also supporting BAAJA. Will you write about us, please? And look into our backers? And will you look into @IBEW and @LIUNA who also support the bill? Who is backing them? Surely they benefit from data centers!

[Anderson Clayton☀️ @abreezeclayton]

I’d say so!

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

@TylerDinucci this is Chris Kluwe who used to play for the Minnesota Vikings?

[Adam Jentleson @AJentleson]

“story’s done” is not typically how journalism works.

[New Liberals @CNLiberalism]

There are now more than twice the number of Blue Dogs in Congress than Justice Democrats. It brings a tear to your eye 🥲

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

@daniel_lefferts I'm confused by the idea that being basic in Hells Kitchen is inauthentic to the culture

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

Get in losers, we’re fixing Congress.

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

@mattyglesias racism, IMO

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

How come this guy gets no respect from the people who agree with him about everything and share all his preferences on factional disputes and there’s all this sweaty desperation to get someone else to run for president?

Why not Ro?

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

They did the meme again

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

There is something very funny about a group of senators styling themselves as the “FIGHT CLUB” and then going “not it” over the question of who should FIGHT Schumer for the majority leadership

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

This stuff is all kind of chickenshit. If these senators want a challenge to Schumer one of them is going to have to run against Schumer.

[Laura Weiss @LauraEWeiss16]

SLOTKIN says Dems should withhold quorum if Schumer runs for leader unopposed until he presents a clear plan that members have a voice in

“Whoever wants my vote is gonna have to show me a concrete plan that's definitively different.”

Adds she doesn’t believe the divide is progressives vs. mods but “team fight vs. team flight”

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

Several people telling me that Van Hollen is challenging Schumer. He is? Show me where he announced that?

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Just rephrasing “voters are mad about inflation” as “voters are mad about affordability” doesn’t change the fact that the policy implications are in the direction of austerity and neoliberalism, the inverse of mass unemployment pointing toward “New Deal for X” politics.

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

@janecoaston he what?
