Paul Krugman Thu 29 Apr 2021 11:47- Fwiw, this may represent genuine ignorance. Many GOP figures seem unaware that anything good happened between Reagan and Trump. After all, who that they listen to will tell them? 3/ Paul Krugman Thu 29 Apr 2021 11:42

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina delivered a response to President Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. Mr. Scott, the Senate’s only Black Republican, is a pioneering figure within his party.
The following is a transcript of his remarks.
TIM SCOTT: Good evening. I’m Senator Tim Scott from the great state of South Carolina. We just heard President Biden’s first address to Congress. Our president seems like a good man. His speech was full of good words.
But President Biden promised you a specific kind of leadership. He promised to unite a nation. To lower the temperature. To govern for all Americans, no matter how we voted. This was the pitch. You just heard it again.
But our nation is starving for more than empty platitudes. We need policies and progress that bring us closer together. But three months in, the actions of the president and his party are pulling us further and further apart.

- And of course it has always been different rule for Democrats; Obama was as dignified as a president could be, but wild accusation about him and those around him were perfectly OK 5/ Paul Krugman Wed 28 Apr 2021 22:56
- Now it's "how dare you suggest that the lawyer for THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES" is a crook and possible traitor, when everything he's done suggests that this is quite possible 4/ Paul Krugman Wed 28 Apr 2021 22:51
- Under Trump it was "how dare you suggest that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES" is betraying the nation to Putin, and lining his own pocket at taxpayer expense 3/ Paul Krugman Wed 28 Apr 2021 22:51
- Once upon a time it was "how dare you suggest that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES" is leading us to war on false pretenses 2/ Paul Krugman Wed 28 Apr 2021 22:51

- With Biden proposing tax hikes at the top, note that we've had two significant hikes in 1% taxation in past few decades. Job growth did fine after each https://t.co/2UEYFjBlSA Paul Krugman Wed 28 Apr 2021 18:21
- Does Rudy Giuliani ever think about how easy and pleasant his life could have been? He could have spent the last 20 years giving lucrative speeches about Leadership, consisting of a few nouns, a few verbs, and 9/11. Paul Krugman Wed 28 Apr 2021 17:56
- It kind of feels as if the whole GOP is having a meltdown. I mean, to seize on this clearly implausible story just a day or so after being humiliated on the red meat stuff suggests desperation. Link Paul Krugman Tue 27 Apr 2021 21:35

Every political movement contains within it a critique of the present and a vision of the future, an agenda of problems to be solved and a series of solutions that would bring us to a better existence. But political movements also say something about people, both who they think we are and who they’d like us to be.
- What strikes me about GOP credulousness on these things is the willingness to believe that Biden's people are idiots. Seriously: even if they were secret woke vegans, would they announce plans to eliminate red meat? Would they really hand out Harris's book? C'mon, man https://t.co/UixzYkiFbG Paul Krugman Tue 27 Apr 2021 13:45
- Another completely false claim about the Biden administration that is all over the right-wing machine. I guess they can't come up with anything real to attack Link Paul Krugman Tue 27 Apr 2021 11:05
“After learning officials are handing out Kamala Harris’ book to migrants in facilities at the border, it’s worth asking… Was Harris paid for these books? Is she profiting from Biden’s border crisis?”

Why doesn't Joe stay out of my kitchen?" Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
- This is good news, and some of us will enjoy watching Republicans try to trash-talk the fastest growth since 1984. It does, however, mean that we need to keep an eye on the risks of overheating 2/ Paul Krugman Thu 15 Apr 2021 14:36
