Who’s Having the Worst Day on Twitter: It’s the Democracy, Stupid

COOK: The progressive writer went viral for dismissing conservatives who criticized the city of San Francisco’s million-dollar plan to build a single public toilet. California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, said over the weekend the state would be withholding funding from the city until “San Francisco delivers a plan to use this public money more efficiently.”

TAPPER: During a segment on Friday, the CNN host wondered aloud why there hadn’t been a national discussion about the negative impact pandemic-era school closures had on kids. A slew of critics urged Tapper to get out of his bubble, noting that networks like Fox News had been reporting on the issue for some time.
