Politicians, in case you hadn’t noticed, have a tendency to speak without thinking and then later regret it. So it’s no shocker that on Twitter, they sometimes tweet and then click the delete button. Enter Politwoops, which collects those redacted tweets for posterity from Democrats and Republicans alike, and going all the way up to the Oval Office. For the most part, they’re mundane but still strangely fascinating. The site is the U.S. offspring of the original Dutch version, proving that it’s not just American politicos who have Twitter trouble.
