But the politicians don't need to wait for the media to fire an incompetent registrar. I don't understand why experts like Hasen are so reluctant to call for Logan's head. Is it that he is one of their own–crusader for more/easier voting? Is it just not something experts do? https://t.co/oiRf2OKIo0

This is why @SupJaniceHahn and others on LA County board need to fire registrar Dean Logan NOW. If they go the gradual bureaucratic route it will soon be September and it will be too late. https://t.co/2fTC857hU6

BONUS: If Douthat can use "cosmopolitan" in @NYTimes, everyone can use "cosmopolitan." It's a useful word (meaning cosmopolitan).

Good column except for the words "very likely." Trump has plenty of time to correct for the political (as opposed to epidemiological) consequences of his spotty COVID19 performance. https://t.co/kcx1Zfe01E

Doesn't it say something about economic theory if the collapse of a cartel is *bad* for the global economy? https://t.co/kzgmMxt4KH

.@daveweigel gives some reasons. (e.g. "[T]here is less noticeable animus toward Biden than there was for Clinton, and there is some evidence of Sanders struggling to add voters.") Not convinced, though. There aren't many polls to cite either way. https://t.co/up3toUcmC5

Trump is screwing up his coronavirus response. Pundits have to say "See, we were right. He's incapable of leadership." Seems to me he's quite capable of leadership. He's just not providing it. https://t.co/yT5jwYxGfB

Don't think @RepMarkMeadows doesn't have AMNESTY SELLOUT POTENTIAL just because he was chair of the Freedom Caucus. See https://t.co/A84OKO0I7x and https://t.co/pFhUl4YtD5

With the coronavirus in the U.S., I stay at home all day, don't go out and never see anyone. So no lifestyle changes.

Note that @JasonDeParle's call for positive case describing benefits of continued high migration dovetails with @NYTimes' facts-be-damned alarmist campaign about declining migrant work force (though DeParle doesn't indulge in it himself). https://t.co/VElPRhUDkE

Note how Graham is already trying to lock @realDonaldTrump into an amnesty of 1.8 Million "DACA-eligibles" instead of DACA's mere 800K. Says Trump's "already put [that] offer on the table." https://t.co/sMUYWkrGOp

ALWAYS BE PARANOID: So if Graham pumps up the DACA amnesty from 800K to 3M "Dreamers," adds Tillis' ag worker amnesty and Tillis' guest workers, with no E-Verify (Trump's caving) and some easily reversible border fixes … https://t.co/NobfdLzcRH This is why we need Sessions.

"[A] climate plan, infrastructure spending, investments in the heartland, his $750 billion education plan and health care subsidies."
*That's* what is going to "deliver real benefits for disaffected working-class Trumpians"? Bernie has a point. https://t.co/Hz5vKeSc3U
