Why the blithe claim of a Trump "reversal" on the Durbin/Graham Amnesty-for-Nothin' plan? Did Trump endorse it? Per @Politico https://t.co/oarZPcpxsE all he did was give ambiguous words of encouragemnt-abt not 'slow-walking' the deal https://t.co/HCifxdfdrn

RIP, Ed Moses, Pioneering L.A. Painter and Paragon of the California Art Scene https://t.co/1GxZhBHpCz I don't know art, but he was plain-spoken and eloquent. also funny. Had a *very* rich life, the details of which he entertainingly shared. Hope someone got him on film.

Yes, a lot of clear common sense in here, from a pol who clearly values immigration. "Up to now, Graham, Durbin & Co. have effectively been negotiating with themselves" … https://t.co/dxmRRZa5pi

.@TimKaine on @NPR is against funding the government until Feb. because: "we are very, very close to a deal on all the key points" on DACA. Really? Seems like BS. https://t.co/qXEctWXifG

Since it *is* about immigration you'd think the Republicans could "make it about immigration," if they were competent at PR … https://t.co/c31SosDiEy

So one or two 4 day CRs, at the end of which Schumer will either have conned Trump into a bad bill, or convinced Dem activists that they fought the good fight for shutdown leverage? https://t.co/42Zfr0nZ2m

Dems willing to shut down the gov't to maximize future flows of immigrants, illegal & legal, who happen also to be future Dem voters. Demography substitutes for thought in today's Dem party–they're fighting for that future! And screw unskilled already here https://t.co/Im3KYY7ia4

True. But note that all competing plans, incl. Goodlatte and Trump, protect the DACAns. Fight is *really* over preventing future illegals and cutting low-skilled legal immigration. In other words, future flows. https://t.co/zzB7jti9qA

Isn't that a sign of weakness. If he's not confident about shutting down government & blaming GOPs today, why will he be in 4 or 5 days? https://t.co/D4YPSbabG6

If McConnell substantially reduced the opportunities for future shutdown crises by nuking the filibuster (just for those votes) I'd think 85% of voters would stand up and cheer, DACA aside. It would be best thing to come out of a shutdown fight for decades. https://t.co/PF6B5YyngD

Doesn't McConnelll have a nuclear option (i.e. vaporizing filibuster rule)? Couldn't he limit it to budget showdowns? Seems like a decent adjustment to the system–when was last time a shutdown crisis produced anything good? #justathought
