Makes little sense for SocDem Ilhan Omar to name conservative Thatcher as her political role model w/ so many left-leaning female leaders to choose from like Dilma Rousseff (socialist), Benazir Bhutto (SocDem), etc.?

Squad keeps getting dumber & dumber and it’ll only get worse.

Between this and Stacey Abrams naming Atlas Shrugged as one of her favorite books, I'm wondering if there's gonna be a libertarian revival! https://t.co/B60TBLnvD6

Ross Douhat defends one of the Ezra Kleins against the other Ezra Klein in a twitter thread (and the unified Ezra retweeted it, so apparently he is not offended by the suggestion he is schizo)

Let me briefly defend @ezraklein's claims about the centrality of polarization to America's problems against @ezraklein's argument that the "dearth of the democracy" is really America's biggest challenge.https://t.co/rmH7TIClSs

I've read @mattyglesias since we were bloggers in college and there's no one I've learned more from. I'll miss working with him daily, but am eagerly subscribing to this, and you should, too! https://t.co/iBYhSa8cLW

3. Septic tank for BS overflow

This tweet reminds me of the old days when I'd catch a lot of grief from extreme partisans for quoting Frank Luntz's work. He's no hack, he knows his stuff, makes what he does as much of a science as is possible with such a field that is not really a science at all. Before Trump, I could see a clear difference between partisan hack "pollsters" like Kellyanne Conway (who knew the truth but would spin it all lies) and Luntz who does the opposite, tries to decode spin and just point out the fact of when people are buying into it:

How many people from the "media shouldn't call elections" crowd triumphantly posted media headlines back on November 9, 2016?
