When any pol seems to demand this kind of women's mag fawnery–Hillary or Jared & Ivanka–it's a really bad sign, no? https://t.co/XydOwhBVWi

Actually there's something a bit condescending between the lines of Mulvaney's Javanka puff: They're only "among the most valuable assets" because they "offer a rare family perspective into the president"-ie they're his family. That's the reason? What about their policy genius? https://t.co/7N8GZb8T12

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like chance of getting a decent immigration deal (closing asylum loopholes, extending E-Verify & Wall, minimum DACA amnesty, more skilled guestworkers only if fewer unskilled) with *this* Congress and Jared/Mulvaney/Kochists in WH is close to zero. https://t.co/azGkjk1Vg1

If I'd written a whole book claiming the Russian collusion obsession was a crock and it turned out the Russian collusion obsession was a crock, I might do a bit more gloating than this little tweet. Something more Greenwaldy. But that's me. https://t.co/py92D9nDYI

SCOOP: Mick Mulvaney says Jared & Ivanka are the kindest, bravest, warmest … sorry, they're "among the most valuable assets in the White House." They have "a deep understanding of the issues and their own unique talents …" https://t.co/N3JuLtAnRQ

What kind of drug do you have to take to write this PR: "Jared, Ivanka influence on Trump compared to RFK and JFK, attacks steel duo." https://t.co/HO50kYU8tg Enemies are just jealous as the glamorous couple moves from triumph to triumph!

Not the direction he seems to be moving. He's moving in Jared's direction. (Mueller was our main hope there!) https://t.co/pBSmOp0hKA

Strange paint-by-numbers quality to Bossie piece-as if lobbyist who doesn't know Trump base wrote it. a) GDP obsessed. Add half a % GDP-say no more! b) Quotes only usual friendlies c) No mention of cutting unskilled chain migration to free skilled slots https://t.co/LGyEAWmpL0

The danger is that Trump now thinks he's home free on impeachment, doesn't need the base to defend him the way he did pre-Mueller. So he's freer to sell out the base on immigration. Signs of an employer-driven 'more workers!' push are mounting. #StayParanoid

(On the other hand the John Kerry backlash never happened, at least in Dem. primaries. I find that inexplicable to this day. Maybe it wouldn't have happened on Twitter either.) ..

Alternate theory: Twitter goes through the same changes the real world does, only faster. Which means it's a useful guide to the future. I remember agonizingly waiting for a Gary Hart backlash in 1984. Awareness of his flaws eventually emerged. On Twitter would've taken a week https://t.co/33Wc3ddxoq

Problem is that curing voters' legitimate "sense of displacement" requires controlling immigration. What's @PeteButtigieg have to say about that? He does a so-so job resisting @ThePlumLineGS 's party-line nudging on the subject-certainly doesn't push back: https://t.co/J7fHKZ89gE https://t.co/iE2l1fg7lN

Puts some flesh on the charge that @SecNielsen is mismanaging DHS–wasting ICE manpower by making them (instead of CBP) handle the release of all the Caught & Released migrants. Result: Fewer interior arrests. Intentional? https://t.co/DYD6JwV3Yl
