So many parts of our government move too slowly. The APA agencies move too slowly. Congress moves way too slowly. (Imagine trying to pass Trump’s nation-by-nation tariffs with all the ordinary lobbying, etc. A “cluster.”) I think that’s why reactions against Trump’s “emergency” https://t.co/D9VtaCVlZh

According to author Chris Whipple, Klain was so desperate to energize Biden pre-debate that he…got Biden on the phone with Melinda French Gates to talk about child care! I mean, if that won’t energize you …

Useful discussion of the immigration pivot that never seems to arrive. It’s indeed wacky that @DLeonhardt held out Obama (whose “comprehensive” immigration controls were as fake as Bush’s) as the model of “a hardheaded approach to border security.” https://t.co/LFRNyYeUMW”

If the government claims an illegal immigrant is a gang member, and he is also deportable (because he’s an illegal immigrant w/ final deportation order), does he get a full hearing on whether he’s a gangbanger (could take a long time) or is only issue whether he’s deportable, https://t.co/sWcbWrspqb

Up to a point! Effectively argues that US loss of manufacturing jobs is way more the result of natural outsourcing (and rising productivity) than of trade deals.
