Note to @MarkSKrikorian: The "Border Wars" book by @juliehdavis and @shearm says that to you "the wall was little more than a meaningless gimmick." Reaction?

Rubio is the real winner here.

Trump’s request that Ukraine investigate the Bidens would look a whole lot sleazier if Joe Biden could explain what the hell his son was doing.

It’s worse than that. Gaddafi’s unlocked arsenal then fueled wars across Africa, no? https://t.co/J7Johx5JvJ

Dems realizing the closer we get to 2020 elections (including primaries) the harder it will be for @murphymike’s anti-Trump GOP Establishment senators to vote to remove him? …. https://t.co/rhWeyViLNx

Gowdy is super-competent—everyone says so. Remember all those high-profile Congressional hearings that he brought to a successful conclusion? Me neither. https://t.co/RO3wFW0NaB

OK. But isn’t “push our borders outward” also presented as a so-sophisticated alternative to building the wall (so crude!) which we also need? https://t.co/RVbxEYQCMG

Interesting that @TheLloydGrove had a choice of discussing Trump first, or Epstein. He picked Epstein. Sound decision. https://t.co/BwuovgPe2V

Epstein “threw a lot of people under the bus in that interview [with James B. Stewart]. He talked about their sex activities and their drug use …” We’re all ears. Assume Stewart will tell us in his big upcoming @NYTimes piece. https://t.co/BwuovgPe2V

“Surprisingly, Steve Bannon” cooperated on-the-record for James B. Stewart’s new book. Surprising? Bannon seems to be a source for every book these days. https://t.co/BwuovgPe2V

It doesn’t change the evidence. But it suggests that one side of the aisle may have a (pre-planned? [don’t be paranoid—ed]) interest in hyping it into “high crimes.” https://t.co/7wJnfzepdS

Better example (perhaps): Under the Erickson Doctrine LBJ couldn’t have asked South Vietnam whether Nixon was trying to sabotage the peace talks with North Vietnam. Jefferson couldn’t have asked Britain to help investigate Burr for plotting to split the US https://t.co/B0TiZN5J8P https://t.co/bBD6CVd90J

What’s shocking here is not the claim that the richest 400 now pay low effective rates, but that they “did pay 70% of their income in taxes in 1950.” https://t.co/9jKfxs0Hlv We’ll see if that holds up. https://t.co/GQIBxSumWh

So if President Warren thinks Marco Rubio is on the take, it’s a “fundamental upending of the constitutional order” for her to have DOJ investigate him?
What Erickson said is ludicrous. https://t.co/5zp0L7sEeR
