This is really a very good–clear and short–explanation of what the Biden WH is up to with it’s alleged pivot to the center on immigration. It seems to be mainly what Charles Peters calls “Washington Make-Believe” https://t.co/yHSjmQl1co

It’s hard to avoid thinking that the reason @Semafor won’t disclose SBF’s investment or set the $$ aside for repayment, is 1) the investment is big 2) Semafor can’t afford to set it aside or repay now. Maybe it’s been spent! (Contacted @semaforben for comment-so far no response.) https://t.co/naqBoqcork

ProPublica has disclosed the amount of SBF’s investment and put the money in a separate account. @Semafor has refused to disclose the amount and refers to a vague consultative process that apparently doesn’t involve setting the money aside in a separate account. Why? https://t.co/kQvH9zLODz

Why is @propublica able to be clear what it intends to do with SBF’s investment (put it in a separate account and return it) https://t.co/8HVPOyE3yC while @Semafor seems vague and slippery (it will “redeem” the money but that’s somehow different from “return”)? https://t.co/g9Ky5xiFVK

Good question. Could Scalise wipe the slate clean? Or is McCarthy’s strategy a poison pill for his most logical substitutes? https://t.co/k2rK7dzfVx

If Upton (who’s retiring from Congress) is busy deleting Web pages that might make him unpopular in the GOP caucus, doesn’t that suggest that he wants it (the Speakership, thoat is)?

Specifically, Upton endorsed @RepMariaSalazar’s ridiculous legalize-illegals-immediately “DIGNITY” Act. And he did it in 2021. This was not a youthful or even pre-Trump mistake. And not the policy the mass of Republican voters want. https://t.co/ztqCL7RWQ0
