One of least convincing op-eds I’ve read in a while. Summary: The “big beautiful bill” is a nothingburger voters will barely notice. But GOPs could hold this nothingburger hostage to gain leverage to block Trump’s tariffs! If you hate the tariffs above all else, this might make https://t.co/k4Sw9yNbUx

Lankford has not gotten religion–he’s still defending his terrible bill–and, worse, @Anna_Giaritelli seems to be buying his snake oil. … (Eg. expanding expedited removal (good) but only when there’s a Biden-level migrant surge at the border (why?) https://t.co/af5jKJ1DN0 ) https://t.co/r50zkAWUVL

What about discrimination based on culture? Would that be unconstitutional? Asking for a friend. What if you could show it wasn’t just a pretext for race or origin discrimination? That it was a case-by-case determination, not automatically inferred? Not immutable, like race. https://t.co/Ly1ahhkHsr

There’s a lot more in this statement from key pro-amnesty Obama immigration official: 1) Sincerely or not, says President can’t not do something (deporting) that Congress tells him to do. 2.) Says 10-11 M are living here “illegally.” No euphemism. 3) Says there will inevitably be https://t.co/98BqFyUY8w

A retreat into 60s culture, a la Amish, seems a marketable concept.** Everyone drives a muscle car, watches AI Cronkite, reads AI TIME, listens to “Hootenanny,” bashes Great Society liberals. A Renaissance Faire you can relate to.
