Can’t help but notice that the 1996 welfare reform comes roughly at one inflection point–when the long, relentless, historic rise stopped–but it’s not the only inflection point. What happened in 2012? https://t.co/VQgHyQzA3d

Latest sign of disorder: Coyotes now roaming freely all over West Side LA–ie flat normie grid-streets miles south of the hills that are their home. Howling near Little League fields. Trotting through backyards. I’ve lived here 50 years; never seen this. Must mean *something*

Trump’s anti-Emmer Truth Social tweet seems to have come over an hour AFTER Emmer got so few votes in the caucus it was clear his bid was dead. https://t.co/jz0nk8yg95 Doesn’t mean earlier lobbying by Trump allies didn’t kill Emmer, but the big tweet didn’t kill him. https://t.co/s7y7dGPcLf

For everyone else-including Trump & half the Freedom Caucus, let alone Emmer-temptation to settle for some Potemkin ‘border security’ changes, plus stern measures that’ll be overturned by ACLU, plus an increase in imported workers to please business, is too strong. Won’t get done

RIght. But ‘what to do about it’ isn’t obscure at this point. You do need to pass some laws (eg on asylum) & for that you need more than a thin majority in House. Biggest hurdle: Few electable GOP leaders can be trusted to see a strong plan through Only one I see is @RonDeSantis. https://t.co/sbZkGL6BoF

On-site observers seem to feel Emmer’s speakership was already obviously dead when Trump intervened against it. (EG https://t.co/3spHsehooC and https://t.co/GuJohLLh2w) A sign of weakness, in this view, more than strength. https://t.co/SkbUMkoi4G

Is Trump a jerk because he trashes Emmer as soon as he does well or (as @JakeSherman and others suggest https://t.co/3spHsehooC) because he waits to trash him until he seems a dead duck? https://t.co/7iX5vUF8jP

.@DLeonhardt oh-so-delicately explains to readers of @laurenepowell’s @TheAtlantic that her cause–looser borders, more immigration–will produce an America more unequal, in which unskilled US workers (who’ve gotten screwed in recent decades) are left on the economic trash heap.. https://t.co/0rlzGQmGgi

Two other virtues of Leonhardt’s piece: 1) Frankly identifies the shift of the left to an appeal geared to progressive college graduates–@RonBrownstein’s famed “Coalition of the Ascendant”–as a new Brahminism, not devoutly to be wished; and 2) Gives Barbara Jordan her due. https://t.co/uyNUCSECQf
