When Hillary Clinton was running in 2016, pundits lamented that Dems had not chosen a more likable woman for the historic moment—a woman like, say, Elizabeth Warren. Now she's running, and Warren, too, is getting pegged by some in the media as "unlikable."https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/elizabeth-warren-hillary-clinton-sexist-hypocrisy-likability-media-narrative-here-ncna955021 …

“It isn’t sexist to call Elizabeth Warren a bossy, know-it-all, schoolmarm who needs to deepen her voice & soften her hair, because I, too, have this opinion of her & can confirm its accuracy,” dude in my inbox says. “Also that describes Hillary too.” Guess he really told me.pic.twitter.com/tm2bR6vdRm

Proud of our state reporter

Important to call this out whether it comes from Trump, a Democrat, or anyone else: I enjoy when politicians use profanity. It improves our political discourse by stripping it of its pretense and makes them more relatable to everyday Americans.

“I’m gonna get me a beer” is typical of the speech of those who grew up where Elizabeth Warren did. So why has she been so mocked for saying it?

Fact Check: On Wednesday, House Dems + a few Repubs passed a bill to reopen the gov’t that’s the same as the funding bill all Senate Ds & Rs unanimously passed in December. In turn, President Trump said he‘d keep the gov’t shut down for years if they don’t give him a wall.https://twitter.com/congpalazzo/status/1081588383938371584 …

Warren asked how she will win red states: “I come from a pretty red state. Oklahoma. Born and raised.”

It is possible but not really relevant. Respectability politics is a method of denying better treatment to marginalized and oppressed populations. While people believe people who hold high office should show more decorum, what’s more important than language used is the /1https://twitter.com/joeheim/status/1081217210868289536 …

“Payne’s screed could be mistaken for a satire of misogynistic garbage...What he was really criticizing was Elizabeth Warren’s tone—a metric for measuring likability that women are uniquely subjected to.” I back this assertion up with research.

When she was first a US Senate candidate, a male Dem analyst criticized Elizabeth Warren for “her hectoring, know-it-all style,” said her “finger wagging” adds to a “strict schoolmarm appearance & bossy manner,” & said to “lose the granny glasses,” & “deepen” her “grating” voice.

In 2016 when she wasn’t running & posed no threat, Elizabeth Warren was often described as a warmer, “likable” alternative to Hillary Clinton. Now that she’s actually running, Politico and others describe
@ewarren as “cold” or “unlikable.” Our views change when women seek power.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Carl Cannon wrote in 2016 that Elizabeth Warren would be more likable than Clinton, pointing to a FB anecdote about how she‘d bake her mother a “heart shaped cake” as a child. He contrasted it with Clinton’s sarcastic “I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies.”

In a study, participants who saw women seeking power felt “moral outrage” (contempt, anger, disgust) and saw them as ”less supportive or caring.” When they saw men seeking power, though, they viewed them as “strong,” “assertive,” “competent” leaders.https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/elizabeth-warren-hillary-clinton-sexist-hypocrisy-likability-media-narrative-here-ncna955021 …

Excellent thread on how tariffs actually work. When Trump body’s that the US is “bringing in many billions” from tariffs on Chinese goods, it isn’t China that’s paying those billions in taxes; it’s US importers.https://twitter.com/stonekettle/status/1080892533671104513 …

The IMPORTER pays the tariff, not the foreign supplier. US tariffs don't tax Chinese steel companies in China. We're taxing AMERICAN companies who USE Chinese steel in AMERICA. That is what a tariff is. 11/

The meeting apparently got so heated Trump yelled expletives & later apologized to Nancy. Trump reportedly said "f*ck" during the meeting at least 3 times & sought to reframe the shutdown, which is affecting 800K federal employees, as a worker "strike."https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-profanity-meeting-with-democrats-pelosi-government-shutdown-2019-1 …
