So immigration doesn’t exactly replace native births lost to the baby bust. It helps CREATE the baby bust (by helping create housing shortages)? https://t.co/KLwc95ZoK5

HERESY! When @NPR says the migrant crime issue is “complicated,” thats a huge step. Wasn’t complicated before! Someone did some reporting. https://t.co/69aXXojs2D

Quinn is also notable for successfully lobbying President Clinton to grant the ridiculous Marc Rich pardon. In doing this he betrayed his boss (Clinton) and managed to violate one of the few ethical norms in the DC lobbying community … https://t.co/xn0TsUfqdm https://t.co/0bKgIh7LyE

Sort of like a political candidate confronting the question of whether to declare something a “campaign expenditure”! Say no, you can be indicted. Say yes, you can be indicted (for spending campaign money on yourself).

And they say I didn’t learn the classics. https://t.co/F84FN1EYID

Schumer to bring up crap Lankford border bill again. How will Lankford & McConnell react? They have a chance–by declaring it dead, dead, dead– to partially redeem themselves for having given Dems a potential (if bogus) talking point. https://t.co/ZsmU6mYoFq

Ugh. His web videos were radically modest & down to earth (eg ‘Here is where you put the mic’).

It seems like a small change, but we don’t have to guess. The migrants have very good information on their chances of getting in. If those chances go down, fewer will come. If they are unaffected, people will keep coming to game the asylum system. Proof in pudding.

Looks like it’s another Mayorkas Special–move power to reject to initial screeners. Will it also move power to ACCEPT to the initial screeners? If so, will encourage more to come to get the quick entry. https://t.co/RWzFtxe9p1

Add in Hope Hicks’ testimony that Trump wanted to protect Melania and you have two (2) big, credible, evidence-backed NON-CAMPAIGN reasons for paying Stormy off that exist irrespective of the campaign. How can Trump’s lawyers can blow this argument?

RIght. But it may have badly undermined prosecution. The sex details were personally, primally humiliating–showing Trump had ample reason to want Stormy to stay silent even if he wasn’t running for office. That means the hush $ may well not have been a “campaign expenditure”… https://t.co/YBdRV1vzXR https://t.co/FMTKvLVP65
