Telling moment at this panel discussion about antitrust, where the Republican guy admits that GOP interest in antitrust is probably limited *just* to punishing big tech, and likely does not apply to any other industry.

That's not a principled stance. It's not about actual antitrust complaints. It's about using antitrust to punish companies for speech choices they dislike

"A Constitutional Carol" where the spirits of the founding fathers terrorize politicians into being better humans and going back to the original vision they had for the nation.

@That_AC @mmasnick To be honest, that may not be a good idea, considering that Benjamin Franklin was so racist he didn't even consider Swedes to be white.

A large swath of the GQP doesn't see me as human...

@That_AC @mmasnick I can say the same about plenty of the GQP: I'm both Jewish and autistic, as you know.
