This genre of journalism, where you knock down a Trump claim by calling a select few experts, whose conclusion is then presented to readers with absolute certainty, should be thoroughly disreputable by now.

Hmm. The number of jobs is still growing. albeit more slowly than before. Meanwhile “immigrants are leaving the U.S. labor market, economists agree.” So who is taking the new jobs? Space aliens? https://t.co/GNZ8XlyBDV

Seems obvious why landlords wouldn’t provide appliances–they want tenants who’ll stay a long time, and a tenant who invests in a fridge (and stove, I think, in some apartments) isn’t likely to leave in a few months. (NYT makes no attempt to explain why) https://t.co/bdVxQWtaiE

There seems to be plenty of fraud and waste to get outraged about. On the other hand, have GOPs recently won an argument on Obamacare? If I were Trump I’d take the best offer he can get from the Dems and move on. (@CitizenCohn has some possible trims https://t.co/rnW1osmV3t). https://t.co/9vMjJZWB8X

Before we get into a big (needed) Obamacare debate, there’s this: The GOPs best hope in the 2026 elections is a boom economy, which seems a strong possibility. In 2020 Covid disrupted such a strong economy, and Biden won (a cause & effect of Trump vividly perceived at the time). https://t.co/6m2scQpR4H

At some point Republicans need to pass some changes in immigration laws, including asylum, or else the next Democratic president will just reverse Trump’s policies. If Dems win the House, this goes out the window, no?–at least on terms the GOP would want to accept. https://t.co/PesfezUkCi
