I'd missed the 53 min. podcast on this https://t.co/Q7HYytwsEw Eventually hones in on notes & then fails to grapple with them. Did source hype Cohen's testimony as he recorded it? Did Cohen change his testimony from "explicit" to implicit? @buzzfeed reporters never asked to say. https://t.co/4fMB4MLYoZ

"Americans were competing against lower-paid workers overseas and against robots at home." But they're immune to competition from lower-paid workers from overseas who travel here? MUST NOT MENTION IMMIGRATION. Those are the rules. https://t.co/l8BempvDgx

This isn't an issue of "characterization." Either the notes said it or not. Either those notes were accurate or not. Cohen was accurate or not. Some misreporting seems to have occurred-by either @BuzzfeedNews, its sources or Cohen. Hard to believe Mueller just left it out. https://t.co/4fMB4Munxr

.@Buzzfeed says it saw notes-taken during Cohen FBI interview-saying “DJT personally asked Cohen to say [Russ] negotiations ended in January." This bombshell isn't in Mueller Report. Were notes wrong? BF account of notes wrong? Mueller covering up? https://t.co/0yBdQpe4Lj

"This may mean that businesses that cannot count on a loose labor market to easily supply new employees are investing in technologies and methods to get more out of the workforce they already have. … That is, productivity can substitute for immigration." https://t.co/R0e32GroeN

Upshot is Trump a) needs to increase white non-college turnout b) he has room to do it–turnout lagged in '18. Surely Jared's criminal justice reform and Ivanka's Women's Global Development initiative will do the trick. Plus… more guestworkers! https://t.co/3twlUt8pWD

"wage inequality doesn’t fully capture how unequal work has become: enjoyable and secure at the top, monotonous and insecure at the bottom" https://t.co/CvzssHadj0 Algorithm tracks, fires low-level workers. Wonder how much of this employers can get away with in tight labor market

But that's the problem: If they can pay $6,000 to a smuggler they will pay the application fee. And if they're not detained they can always blow off their hearing and stay illegally. Don't see how these changes are close to sufficient. Maybe I'm missing something! https://t.co/zGS0eoO6d1

Does Trump *help* whichever Dem candidate he attacks — eg Biden yesterday? If so, Trump can rationally try to pick the opponent he wants by focusing on some candidates while ignoring others, no? https://t.co/kP1SCfOXEw

Explicitly notes that lack of cheap immigrant labor (including the blocking of Gang of 8 type bills) prompted this technical advance. Capitalists can adjust to a "labor shortage." Who knew? https://t.co/27TcJERh9B

MSM's cast Lachlan M as man who'll cleanse Fox of evil conservatives/Trumpists. If reality's more complicated than Manichean narrative do not expect nuance! Eg would evil Trump make call to save evil Tucker-not just Pirro? Not in piece-but subhed says yes https://t.co/0WbrUpr51u
