Twitter
I mostly read CEP at work but have a firewall so I can’t see tweets. But I also have Tapatalk on my phone so if I see a tweet has been posted and it seems relevant I look on there.
Only when it’s an actual newsworthy post vs nonsense.
This is the only thing I have an opinion on - less twitter nonsense! Unless it’s funny nonsense. Or phish nonsense. This board could really use more phish nonsense.

I’m a fan of writing the text if you link a tweet. It seems fair to those who can’t see tweets. Also, maybe the extra step will help avoid unsubstantiated or irrelevant tweets clogging posts.
Tweet. But with a high level summary of what’s going on.
Manafort got indicted again! Tweet from CNN:
Conjecture that Manafort is still Trump’s campaign manager! Tweet from an analyst that gets booked on MSNBC sometimes:
There’s a new Manafort mugshot! Tag Bowies.
Agree with Bowies. Post your tweet and if it's doable, post a summary.
Also, if you're posting a tweet that's real news, it's not that hard to post a link to the article in your post.
Please link to full articles as often as possible! DH doesn’t have twitter so I had to go through the pain of taking a screen shot and editing out any screen names just to text him some of the latest twitter revelations and he was like, “Source, please?” Grrrrrr!!

Just Tweet
Text if possible
Unfortunately, news breaks first occasionally on twitter these days. There’s not always an article. We have a president that tweets stuff that his staff doesn’t even know about yet.
But agree with others I wish the tweets would stick to verified journalists and political professionals. Even “funny” tweets are meh half of the time.

I swear I'm not trying to be snarky - but why not google the source first, and why edit screen names?

Also not trying to be snarky but get the dude a twitter account if it's that big of a deal.
My beloved spouse has been traveling for so many days in a row that I can't imagine referring to him as "DH".
