Can't liberals "defend values of tolerance and personal freedom" without (obnoxiously and self-delusionally) insisting that history is on their side? https://t.co/BolULLX2Hl

Isn't @RealDonaldTrump overreacting to the Woodward book? It doesn't seem that big a deal.

DEMS TAKE NOTE: "Trump has resisted changes to Medicare or Social Security that would be aimed at controlling costs and specifically excluded reductions to those programs …" https://t.co/HmEnm1cLsP He can tell Ryan "no" when he wants to.

If it's "more immigration" business GOPs like Yoder who go down in Nov, will be hard to interpret the vote as a looser-borders mandate (even if Dems win the House), no? https://t.co/BVWAML6h3X

OK. He voted against crucial Dorgan poison pill that killed 2007 bill-suggests he was on board with awful CIR deal until it was poisoned!. https://t.co/EFDBhC094o After poisoning bill didn't even get 50 votes for cloture. Don't think Kyl voted for cloture https://t.co/QWOW4zfADN https://t.co/ixam3DBlqU

I was on Ed Martin's radio show, talking wages and the Wall https://t.co/DyiAaUdszc Ed a) knows politics from the inside b) is receptive to idea of a populist movement that incorporates traditional Dem as well as GOP goals.

Controlling immigration is the fastest lever we have to raise wages for low-skilled U.S. workers. This seems like powerful evidence. From $11 an hour to $15 an hour. https://t.co/bhTrRsRshg

Raising wages solves "labor shortage" supposedly caused by lack of immigration. This seems like a powerful vindication of the Trump approach. https://t.co/bhTrRsRshg

UPDATE: Ford's now nixed another entry-level car (in addition to killing the trouble-prone Focus & Fiesta). What does it have to offer non-rich buyers?

"Rob Hurst, manager of Edgartown Commons on Martha’s Vineyard, has had to scrub bathrooms this summer …" The Trump era horror stories get worse and worse!
