"We Weren’t Fools to Believe Jussie Smollett" https://t.co/JgcEG36IZY I dunno. Story was first shown to me by a veteran Hollywood writer who said, in effect, 'This is BS, right?' We've been waiting to pounce for weeks!

O'Rourke would apparently amnesty undocumented immigrants brought to US as minors–maybe through no fault of their own– AND the parents whose fault it was. https://t.co/3eBBIMaP3Q

Yes, it doesn't make one eager for a second term, does it? Four more years of Jared and the Koch network! https://t.co/GCpZE1XahF

Coming around to vulgar left view of it-the business elite really is the ruling class & they want the tight labor market to end. But where's the left? Are the unions fully neutralized by Dem identity politics? That leaves voters. If only some pol would step up. Smith … Smith… https://t.co/rb8Ew2xmRe

I always thought it was the Fed's job to take the punch bowl away right when the party was starting to get good for the average worker. But it's not the Fed this time–there's no inflation, they're standing pat–it's the Kochs & Kushner who want to end the party thru immigration https://t.co/Qz24FqZ7zI

And when business doesn't like the consequences of a tight labor market–higher wages–they have all the money, hire the lobbyists, have a network of aides (eg Kochs) they've nurtured for years,and all of a sudden even Trump's saying "We need people!"–and we get Jared's project. https://t.co/1mOrw5Byof

The Koch network is ascendant in the White House. Marc Short's rehiring was apparently not an aberration. Expect Jared's effort to be a disaster — amnesty + mass *legal* immigration + Potemkin enforcement. But hey, Trump's base will be fine with it. Corporate lobbyists say so. https://t.co/8AJt1NqrQo

Sounds like just the sort of misjudgment Jared would buy into … (He thought Dems would love the Comey firing. Thought his wall-for-DACA deal would get a Senate supermajority–it lost 50-47.) https://t.co/5k9ePcoqqL

YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING: Jared preparing big Trump pivot "away from priorities of 2017" [that got Trump elected] "in favor of a new approach preferred by more traditional Republicans, particularly those close to the corporate sector." Plus an amnesty! https://t.co/PXVvMvIqNO

Border apprehensions on track for 600,000 this year, maybe higher. MSM, please stop using the low (300K) figure from 2017, the one year migrants were scared of Trump. (This means you WaPo https://t.co/zOGa2apt93) Article: https://t.co/RQJfAX7DPv
