I’d argue the most effective politicians on Twitter are
@realDonaldTrump
and
@Ocasio2018
for completely different reasons. Trump uses dog whistles and obfuscation while Ocasio-Cortez gives a clear and clear-headed look at what’s happening day to day in our government. Both work.

I think Trump might be losing his thunder. Amazon's stock is up 2 percent this morning after this tweet:
The Fake News Washington Post, Amazon’s “chief lobbyist,” has another (of many) phony headlines, “Trump Defiant As China Adds Trade Penalties.” WRONG! Should read, “Trump Defiant as U.S. Adds Trade Penalties, Will End Barriers And Massive I.P. Theft.” Typically bad reporting!

The NLRB found that the Starbucks union *did not* threaten and coerce employees. On the other hand, the NLRB has issued 16 official complaints against Starbucks that include 70 charges and over 500 allegations of misconduct
The NLRB dismissed Starbucks’ FALSE charges against union leaders in Phoenix, AZ. Starbucks claimed that union reps physically intimidated and berated customers & fellow workers. The NLRB investigated these charges and found no evidence to support Starbucks claims.
