The reality: Thrush’s story writes: “unstocked shelves, critics say.” If Thrush knows the shelves are unstocked, why lay it off on “critics”?

Plenty of rational, non-fringe, non-conspiracy-minded people think Patel & Bongino are wrong. https://t.co/3MDkJdRwvt

How do you write a puffer about @SenGillibrand and not mention the name “Al Franken”? He had centrist Dem potential too. https://t.co/Dm1xXvbB1V

It’s been said elsewhere: If Bass had fought against the danger of fires with half the intensity with which she fights for illegal immigrants, LA would be a much better place. (Indeed, parts of LA that no longer exist would still exist.) https://t.co/cmIRyBr28p

You’d think anti-ICE violence would backfire to the benefit of the GOP. But the immediate effect has been to tarnish the reps of 2 major conservative hopes–DA Nathan Hochman and once/future mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, who decided this was the right moment to call for amnesty. https://t.co/oxk6AugRt4

Bass in a tough spot because she probably feels her party’s orthodoxy, and her career prospects require opposing enforcement of immigration laws. It would take a bit of bravery to stand up to activists and make a distinction between legal and illegal immigrant. Bass is not brave.
