Here's the study https://t.co/34bDQMW22n Suspicious of this:
"We identify adults most likely to benefit using survey information on socioeconomic and citizenship status, and public program participation."
They didn't compare ENTIRE near-elderly pop. of opt-in/opt-out states? https://t.co/YJYF7tCSvO

Medicaid *does* help the "near-elderly" live longer? https://t.co/FrYViABGNH Seems powerful evidence for Medicaid expansion if it holds up. Even more powerful evidence for just lowering Medicare age to 50, no? (The "moderate" position in Dem debate.)

A companion rule (don't know if it's Kinsley's) is that anytime the press says someone is funny & offers a joke or quote as an example the joke or quote WILL NOT BE FUNNY. No known exceptions to this rule exist. It applies whether or not the person in question is, actually, funny https://t.co/ouwp4fGpIZ

I see it as in part attempt to keep base happy despite his failures on wall/asylum. Corollary: If he ever actually builds wall/controls border (he has time)vhe won't need the Daily Tweet Fight to keep the base. https://t.co/YfFgvUq0DS

Also illustrates one of Mike Kinsley's Rules: Anytime the press says "Everyone from X to Y" to show the breadth of something it really only shows the lack of breadth. Everyone from Durbin to Josh Marshall to Holder! https://t.co/UuiMxjzfyI

How long before the Dem candidates start going after Bill Clinton's welfare reform? (As long as we're on a grand tour of reviving issues that cost liberals power for a generation–Busing? check Crime? check …)

Wages go down again. Housing costs rise. Schools struggle. Communities fracture (eg flight to 'burbs, private schools). Texas turns blue, etc. Actually, even Ryanists should care about that last one (tho they don't seem to). 2025 consequences of opened borders not very reversible

MIGHT make sense if you're a Ryanist & your big issues are taxes/big government. Tax increases can always be rolled back, budgets cut. But if you care about immigration –immigration is forever. If President Biden lets in X million they are not (and rightly cannot) be sent back/1 https://t.co/2PW2lAMXXH

THERE WERE NO "RECORD NUMBER OF DEPORTATIONS UNDER OBAMA," PEOPLE! It was a statistical mirage. If you dont believe @NRO [https://t.co/1tbS75NsTM] maybe you'll believe @latimes https://t.co/0htTlinhNx Numbers inflated by quickie returns at border that hadn't been counted before. https://t.co/DEbxYXnzXf

Maybe the reality on the ground isn't as good as the wage charts, but the wage charts are pretty good! Note the uptick at bottom in last 2 years: https://t.co/oUB21UUl9y pic.twitter.com/mvHn6M7CmK

Don't understand why Biden's screw-you-I'm-a-centrist statement on immigration — "you should be sent back" — isn't getting more attention. It should terrify Trump. Not what he wants to run against. https://t.co/7FOUHpKx65

Except he didn't really get tough–the "record deportations" was a reclassification in the statistics https://t.co/1tbS75NsTM And when "comprehensive reform" died in 2014 he got untough–the "Morton memos" etc. essentially said if you didn't commit a crime wouldn't be deported. https://t.co/o5We7tsj4L
