CORRECTION: Should read "protect DACAns"–not necessarily the much larger group of so-called "Dreamers." DACANs=700,000 Dreamers=3.6M https://t.co/eFQ0Xel9j4

How do we know it's not drawing of Zaha Hadid's design for the Jared Kushner 666 building? https://t.co/3qNhc7pAPo

Because it's not their position. Some GOPs want to see the Dreamers deported, or subject to deportation. But all the relevant pols and officials–Goodlatte, Trump, Miller–want a deal: Protect Dreamers but do x, y, and z to ameliorate the consequences. https://t.co/6bgo87DTyM

For example, NYT says Schumer "discussed the possibility of fully funding the president’s wall on the southern border with Mexico." Does that sound like "outline of an agreement"? Or, you know, discussion. https://t.co/teIQ7B3o2k

"How Trump and Schumer Came Close to a Deal Over Cheeseburgers" https://t.co/raH0cV4DLQ Hard to tell how close, given Dems' obvious desire to fit this into their "betrayal/reneging/Stephen Svengali" party line.

How to square this account with what Schumer said right after the meeting: "We made some progress, but we still have a good number of disagreements.." Doesn't sound close. https://t.co/gv6otdH4dp

One "note," as we say in Hollywood: "Losers" isn't a good word to use if your goal is, as here, to get the undecided middle on your side. It's also unnecessary. Case is strong without it. #lehaneism https://t.co/AA1IYX9l99

Who's the most thin-skinned, self-cocooning politcs tweeter? Nominations accepted. I vote @matthewjdowd.
(@Murphymike & @Seungminkim blocked me after getting trolled repeatedly. Fair enough. Dowd seems to be curating a highly fragile bubble of self-regard.)— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) January 20, 2018

Blocked by @MatthewJDowd. OK! Isn't he Mr. Civility and brotherly love? Was it for this vicious, ad hominem tweet? https://t.co/ztQwfyh9nR

HEY, DAVOS! Immigration is to globalists what amnesty was supposed to be for conservatives after Romney–i.e. if they just flip on this *one* issue, the rest of their program (trade, cooperation, integration) becomes possible. https://t.co/RbLNqIrghx

WHEN YOU'VE LOST FAREED ZAKARIA: On the Democrats: "Where they differ — and especially with white working-class voters — is on immigration. the party is now more extreme on the topic than it has ever been." https://t.co/dZvtljwGxa

McConnell's floor speech this morning–the "box canyon" speech–was actually very strong. Democrats are all about illegal immigrants now. https://t.co/vSpcVGyp5c

SIN VERGUENZA: @SenCoryGardner: "When it comes to these kids, Dreamers, we don't hold our children… accountable for the acts of their parents ."
But your legislation gives amnesty–legal status, work permits–to the parents too.https://t.co/dYWrDh4yQW— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) January 20, 2018

.@ABCNews studiously downplaying cause of shutdown (DACA). If I were paranoid, and I am, I would say it is obvious why. (Viewers wouldn't understand why Dems are shutting down government over DACA.)

Too quiet in Capitol! Good time to call your Senator or Rep. and suggest something like "no sellout deals on amnesty." 202 224 3121 is switchboard. https://t.co/nSN52GCLdj

This would have been kind of a shocking and unnecessary sellout by Kelly–no chain limits, a few watered down walls, but yes amnesty. Not sure I believe this report. https://t.co/eRbtiVfZVE
