A very good professor. For a brief shining moment I actually thought I understood antitrust law. RIP https://t.co/pkIywVfguS

Rushield on Hollywood's "Time's Up" initiative: "[I]nitially did a brilliant job [but] lately has been accused of dropping the ball on its basic, victim’s support functions; being a cool kids' clique not welcoming to outsiders;" and covering for CAA agency https://t.co/sQQgp1Afr2

Just deleted a tweet about how hard it is to tell the real hot takes from the ironic fake hot takes at @voxdotcom. Decided they are all fake hot takes. Maybe even the witchcraft one. https://t.co/e0caMQiAEN

I'm not saying they should hire @realDonaldTrump as a columnist! But @ByronYork, for example, is a good columnist who makes honest pro-Trump arguments. https://t.co/4JX2pwbLVh

Though of course the latter issues (donors') are the ones the GOP leadership actually got something done on…. We'll see if McCarthy's new immigration-control rebrand is a big fake when we see what GOPs do in a post-midterm showdown. https://t.co/M21soCEEer

LAST RESORT! GOP leader starts talking about the issue voters care about (immigration, including wall) — not the issues Ryan and donors pushed (tax cuts). https://t.co/QuvnBZh1J3

JARED'S HIDDEN GENIUS:
1) Fire Comey. Democrats will love it!
2) You need to endorse Luther Strange
3) Hire Scaramucci to bring some professionalism to the WH
4) MBS knows what he's doing. I was up all night with him! We should back him all the way.— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) October 11, 2018

PS I think I know the machine Vargas's talking about. A bunch of people who could fit in hotel room,with enough space left for Sly & the Family Stone. They've won because voters have realized "comprehensive reform" is a con job. https://t.co/CuwvNgBPfF

Jose Antonio Vargas decries a powerful "anti-immigrant machine." Does it exist? Vargas needs *some* excuse to explain why he hasn't won yet https://t.co/2jQFxlezuX

For a piece on "Kushner's bet on Saudi crown prince," there's not a lot of dish on Kushner here. We know everything about any number of WH figures, but Kushner remains a ghost. How does he do it? https://t.co/EAsRGbjUcZ

Jamie Dimon, Dina Powell, Tom Barrack, Dara Khosrowshahi all scheduled to join MBS at conference in Riyadh next week. They are all image-conscious people. They have to cancel, no? https://t.co/EAsRGbjUcZ Shunning, not cumbersome sanctions, seems the best quickest way to jolt MBS.

Don't understand–couldn't Eshoo or her staffer have contacted Schumer's office (without revealing Ford's identity)? Isn't that even the logical thing to do if you are a Dem and learn this potentially explosive info, given desperation to stop Kav? https://t.co/4c1QZh0GhB

Didn't the fabled RNC "autopsy" say this wouldn't happen (ie Hispanics wouldn't vote for a non-amnesty-supporting Republican–it's a threshhold issue!)? @PatrickRuffini https://t.co/hF0O1Heq82

In other words. the conservative wing of the @NYTimes columnist lineup was two NeverTrumpers. So after Trump got elected they proved they weren't "the opposition" by hiring … a third NeverTrumper. https://t.co/gesItgzLbt

I should have said "new" conservative columnist–@DouthatNYT was already there. That makes the point stronger! While he's v-good Douthat was Never Trump himself. See https://t.co/FTRGuN5tFn So they had 2 "conservative" slots. Couldn't bring themselves to find one non-NeverTrumper https://t.co/LlUB2NF0BM

MBS "has his flaws that he will have to control, insiders here tell me. They include… a tendency to start too many things that don’t get finished." That does not seem to have been the problem here. https://t.co/lMmlDIYwQD
