Right. Then in the new Dem Congress there would be MORE support for amnesty. A feature not a bug for amnesty-pushers. https://t.co/IIh7Lumxnk

Rich Baris’ claim to have been misled into working on “a large-scale poll that was funded by business interests to display fake support for a workplace amnesty” is interesting.
But you’d think @NeilMunroDC would be more curious about which cabinet members are lobbying for amnesty https://t.co/Yb2Yb1xzmT— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

Now I’m confused. Your position is that Caruso, even if he ran a good campaign, couldn’t beat Bass in 2026? But Spencer Pratt can? Why? https://t.co/IrVn9JeLic

The other time I was pulled over was in Flagstaff, AZ. The cop said I was weaving in my lane. He did search the car with a flashlight, confirming my suspicion that it was a pretext. I stopped at a motel about half an hour later and completely collapsed. Turned out I had altitude

I was once pulled over for expired tags. I was surprised. I told a policeman friend of mine “I thought that was just something cops did when they wanted to search a car for drugs.” He said no, they really enforce the expired tag rule. https://t.co/OfKx4U9jFC

I guess this means (correct me if I’m wrong:
Bass wants to run against Pratt in the runoff.
Raman mostly just wants to make the runoff, but needs to steal Bass votes and justify her candidacy. Suspect she’d also rather run against Pratt. (Her campaign would be “MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

Report on LA Mayoral debate:
Pratt was very good, talked in plain language
Raman talks like an urban planning apparatchik; She did accuse Pratt of being MAGA. Might hurt him. He didn’t answer it, but no evidence of it either.
Bass talks a LOT. She loves the word “comprehensive.”— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

It’s a little more complicated, since the fire he set was more or less put out, but the LAFD incompetently let it smolder underground (they were called off the job https://t.co/t0i7M0VGGm) and it erupted a week later to burn down the town. https://t.co/SGFSYd4mkZ
