Setting a good example. #DemDebate
Biden’s debate prep still sucks.

Don’t say your time is up. Just finish your answer. #DemDebate
Bernie is asking very smart, rhetorical questions.

Good strategy. #DemDebate
Since there are only 2 candidates, why are they standing further apart than the UK from France?

Also, what network is airing this debate? I’m looking at the screen but can’t quite tell. 🧐

#DemDebate Image
Having no live audience totally changes the dynamics of debating. Candidates are more focused on laying out their plans, not on landing zingers for crowd reactions.

This is something future cycles should consider, even if it makes for "less exciting” TV. #DemDebate
The word “bailout” is very unpopular among Democrats and Republicans alike.

It’s a bad word for everyone. #DemDebate
Biden’s “people want results, not a revolution” phrase will work well across the spectrum, especially in the midst of a current crisis today. #DemDebate

I’ve told politicians from all political backgrounds to state that “half of americans are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet.”

Strange to hear it finally come from Bernie Sanders. #DemDebate
As usual, Tom Steyer is totally non-existent in tonight's #DemDebate.
Anybody know what soap Bernie Sanders uses? #DemDebate
While watching these two candidates closely: I noticed @JoeBiden looks at Bernie often while speaking but @BernieSanders rarely looks at Biden. #DemDebate
@JoeBiden @BernieSanders Bernie just said "the YouTube”.

Biden isn’t the only one whose age is showing. #DemDebate
@JoeBiden @BernieSanders Bernie came to scrap tonight.
He will not go peacefully into the goodnight. #DemDebate
@JoeBiden @BernieSanders It should be quite disheartening for Democratic voters to see @JoeBiden and @BernieSanders attacking each other more than they’re attacking Trump tonight.

#DemDebate
@JoeBiden @BernieSanders Biden just said what he should have said in the first minute: “Bernie and I both agree…”

#DemDebate
@JoeBiden @BernieSanders Look at the governor of Michigan: @GovWhitmer

She’s not well-known nationally but she’ll be an immediate frontrunner for his VP. #DemDebate
Which best describes your opinion of burning in Hell?
Does CNN’s voiceover guy for their Super Tuesday, Round 3 coverage also do monster truck rallies?

I feel like I will eventually hear him doing ads for Brawndo.

Bernie is now just trying to pick a fight.

Biden should ignore him for the last 20 minutes and lay out his own platform. #DemDebate
Bernie Sanders had the better #DemDebate performance tonight, but @JoeBiden won the debate by committing to a woman VP.

The Democratic primary is over.

I’m getting swamped by emails from reporters and officials asking how the Trump assassination attempt will affect the election, so here’s my response: 🧵
Saturday’s shooting in Pennsylvania will still have a huge impact Election Day.

It will guarantee that every Trump supporter now will be a Trump voter in November.  Trump's voters are energized, Biden's voters are demoralized.
In recent months, President Trump has benefited from more passionate and engaged followers than the Biden campaign, but the shooting will turn that intensity gap into a chasm. 

That participation gap is worth at least +1% to +2%. And because the shooting happened in Pennsylvania, the impact will be most significant in Pennsylvania.

I’ve never seen so many people so quiet and respectful.

This truly is a country in mourning. #QueenElizabeth 🇬🇧
In the background is the home of Prince Charles until 10 days ago.
This is the biggest police operation in the history of the UK.

More cops, cars, and security vehicles today. #QueenElizabeth 🇬🇧

With classes now underway, it's time to explain why public schools have lost so many students – and why so many students took gap years rather than be "taught" online… (1/x)

k12dive.com/news/public-sc…
The reason is simple: Parents who actually observed their kids’ classes for the first time were shocked to find what their children were (not) learning and said "ENOUGH!"

It happened nationwide, and it’s far from over. (2/x)

pbs.org/newshour/educa…
To understand why Americans have turned against college, consider this professor who tweeted that the Queen should suffer “excruciating pain.”

No, she shouldn't be canceled.

But parents shouldn't be surprised when students graduate filled with such hate. buzzfeednews.com/article/steffi…

CBS calls it the “Capitol Assault Hearings.”

NBC calls it “the January 6th hearings.”

ABC calls it the “Attack on the Capitol.”

These banners at the bottom of the screen make a difference in how people perceive the information. #January6th
It took 9 minutes for the hearing to show something other than a politician delivering a teleprompter speech.

That’s too long.

I have 10 students watching with me… And they aren’t watching anymore. They’re more interested in talking to each other than watching the screen.
“It’s too long,” said one of my students.

After 15 minutes, it’s just one politician speaking into the camera.

Literally no one is watching – the TV is on, but no one is watching.

If you compare U.S. gun deaths to all countries, we’re nowhere near the top. (That list is led by El Salvador, Venezuela, and Guatemala.)

If you compare U.S. gun deaths to high-income nations, we’re at the top by a country mile: healthdata.org/acting-data/gu…
If you name your podcast “BASED,” you should at least be competent at reporting relevant context.
Do you think our murder rate would remain the same without widespread, easy access to firearms?

For instance: Would a mass-stabbing have the same mortality rate as a mass-shooting? Sure, there are substitutes for guns – but they drastically decrease the success rate of murders.

I conducted a nationwide research study of Ukrainians with @PremiseData just days before the Russian invasion.

The results (like the invasion that has followed) are staggering.

Three examples… 🧵
@premisedata 1.) 65% of Ukrainians want the U.S. to be Ukraine's primary military and economic partner.

Just 12% chose Russia.
@premisedata 2.) When asked to choose between Russia or America, 79% of Ukrainians say they like and trust the U.S. more

Only 21% chose Russia.
