And we're sure that the video of the outside of the cell block on the night Epstein died–the video AG Barr supposedly watched himself, showing nobody going in or out — was of the RIGHT FLOOR, because … https://t.co/gOofIfkRNI https://t.co/sWN8aERUuF

Right. Why not say that? It was like pulling teeth to get a straight answer from them. https://t.co/1plewh1qbV

He is the bland, not-very-popular mayor of a city with a 'weak mayor' system. He's no AOC.

Prediction: This will have absolutely no effect on anything (except maybe Garcetti's chance at a cabinet slot. Secretary of Homelessness!). https://t.co/blYA6MkSv5

Barr's efforts in the case were a clear success, however: Epstein's death brought a national spotlight to the problem of suicides in prison. https://t.co/hYqX2tflT9

WHERE WAS BARR? And why was it cellmate Tartaglione's lawyer who requested that the video be preserved? WHY WASN'T IT AG BARR? I'm getting the feeling that Barr's get-to-the-bottom-of this investigation (after he said he was "appalled" and "angry") was maybe less than thorough. https://t.co/sWN8aERUuF

Surveillance video from Epstein's first apparent suicide attempt 'no longer exists' https://t.co/dZDs2hxTpA Gee-they saved video from the wrong floor! (And backup had "technical" problems.) This will only encourage the irrational "conspiracy theorists." What's with those people?

But the @nytimes would never do a story titled: "Pay Is Rising Fastest for Low Earners. One Reason? Limiting Immigration." Even though it would be true. https://t.co/8ADnRVohIS

"[Minimum wage] increases aren’t responsible for most of the wage growth, or for most of the acceleration in wage growth, during this recovery… it has probably not been as important as the tightening labor market." https://t.co/UQ35RudV98

"Diplomatic"'s one way to put it. Corporate/corporatist is another way-as if she's going to get firms to train Americans by meeting w/ CEO friends like "Ginni." Been to too many conferences! Would be way more appealing if she swore like a trucker, as she allegedly does privately. https://t.co/B9S4cdTZyP

Ivanka talks as if employing (& training) Americans is a good charitable thing her CEO friends should do, sort of like fighting global warming. That ain't populist. Isn't the point to control immigration so employers HAVE to train our workers to make a buck. https://t.co/sm6XFZOrUp

The idea underlying Bernie Sanders' tweet — that if we withdraw if was all for nothing, that we've "lost" Iraq if Iran or Russia "fill the void," is the sort of thinking that will keep us there forever. https://t.co/F50i2gADMY

This seems silly. If it established an elected government that threw us out –with traditions of freer political speech that Iraqis will be reluctant to give up — it was hardly for nothing. Might not have been worth it, yes. https://t.co/raNHH2g7Lr
