But, just from a political/news standpoint - who do you follow - and why (what are they good at)?
I am not a big twitter user, but I have a few that I cycle through for various reasons, they are all well known, so no hidden gems:
Kyle Griffin - MSNBC producer for the Last Word - he tweets a lot, and is generally good for general news stuff - he is definitely left-leaning, but provides good links to news on a regular basis
Natasha Bertrand - Atlantic Writer - she covers national security stories, and does some good in-depth reporting on the Mueller investigation, and other stuff
Kasie Hunt - NBC political reporter - I actually started following her in the 2016 cycle - if its a political story, she usually has her own reporting, and links to others
Zoe Tillman - BuzzFeed reporter - Courts and Justice - she is based in DC - anything going in those courts - SC or Manafort or Stone et al - she was usually in the court live tweeting when able.
Phillip Rucker - WaPo - White House - a less prolific, but more centric, version of Griffin, does his own reporting on White House, but also links to Political stories around DC
Nate Silver - 538 - data - polling - I am a data geek, and have been a fan of Silvers dating back to his early Baseball Prospectus days.
Sarah Kendzior - I don't know why I follow her - I mostly can't look away - she hosts Gaslit Nation podcast. As near as I can tell, she is an Midwestern American version of Louis Mensch - but she has the 3rd most followers of any of the above - including at least one FBG staffer...
This is the list of reporters/media that I check on a semi-regular basis for stories or breaking news updates. There are occasional one-offs where I might follow a link to someone else.
But, who should I add? Who do you like - and importantly why?
