Hasan: "What does it say for your credibility on foreign policy issues if you've got the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime, Iraq and Gaza, both wrong?"
Yglesias: "I don't know that those were the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime..."
Mehdi Hasan: “You’ve argued that progressives need to take more moderate positions… But here’s why I don’t get Matthew the pragmatist. Abolish ICE is popular. Medicare for All, super popular. Ending or restricting arms sales to Israel has a super majority with American voters.”
Yglesias: "I'm curious what you think of this, because I've seen this discourse about Islamophobia and its sort of lowliness..."
Yglesias: "I'm coming in here... you're a tough interviewer."
Hasan: "I'm trying to be as genial as possible."

Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?"
@mattyglesias: "Probably more than I intended to."
Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat."
Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair."
Me: "Why?"
Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me."

Yglesias's posts since Aug 30 include ~5 mentioning Piker and at least 9 mentioning Rogers/Rodgers, not 8 and 6. Hasan posted about Piker ~35 times in the period.

Rahm Emanuel addresses his role in covering up the 2014 Laquan McDonald shooting.
Emanuel: "Look, all of us make a mistake."
Adam Jentleson of @SearchlightInst argues for Democrats to support building data centers.
Jentleson: "The impulse from a lot of college-educated folks and activists is to just oppose data centers... but the people who build the data centers tend to be working-class people."
Matt Yglesias: "Neera Tanden, who I've known for a long time, one of the things she specifically did in her previous stint as president of CAP was disciplined left-wing staffers who wanted to criticize Israel too much..."
