HPS' Week in Twitter

#SCOTUS, POTUS "BOO-Youk" joke, Nora Ephron, Eric Holder, Barclays scandal, Colorado fires, Peter Madoff and the EU Summit for these week's top tweets.

  1. Monday: SCOTUS strikes down Montana limits on corporate campaign spending
  2. SCOTUS Monatana ruling- big deal. Will get buried today but worth attention. Effectively upholds Citizens United for state and local races
  3. Tuesday: Obama gets "booed" in Boston for Youkilis joke and writer Nora Ephron dies at the age of 71 
  4. "I was saying Boo-urns" MT @dbernstein Tweeps ...when Obama thanked Boston for Youkilis, were people booing, or saying Yoooouuuk?
  5. In honor and in memory of Nora Ephron... everyone fake an orgasm at a deli tonight.
  6. Wednesday: Criminal investigation into Barclays after its fine for manipulating LIBOR, Colorado wildfires spread and Peter Madoff pleaded guilty, to serve 10 years in prison & $143 billion in property
  7. Colorado is basically on fire. Not like in a sexy disco way, it's actually burning down.
  8. @PE_Feeds Poor editing. LOL Peter Madoff has too forfeit like 3 Warren Buffetts!
  9. Thursday: #SCOTUS (and a little JPMorgan, too.)
  10. Probably more traffic today than in SB's first 5 years, combined. So grateful; a little scared. #teamlyle #dontcrash
  11. While predictions were flying around about the SCOTUS ruling, the morning brought news of JPMorgan trying to cover a $9 billion loss
  12. Back to the SCOTUS tweets
  13. Can we send Nat Geo guys over to tag & monitor the people who show up on the steps for SCOTUS decisions?
  14. .@SCOTUSblog: "The individual mandate survives as a tax."
  15. So the individual mandate is clinically dead, but still a tax?
  16. Going to celebrate by buying lots of broccoli and make somebody force me to eat it.
  17. Following the SCOTUS decision, Attorney General is found in contempt of Congress:
  18. Majority of U.S. House votes AG Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.
  19. Friday: After Thursday's summit, European leaders have agreed to a new bank recapitalization program.  Introducing "fake Angela Merkel," and the #AspenIdeas conference
  20. A decisive solution: using a fund that doesn't exist to buy debt that won't be repaid via a mechanism that hasn't been agreed. #leadership
  21. Conversations on the nature trail at #AspenIdeas: holistic! Leadership! Impact change! Today is now!
