If you block someone you will now be causing the algorithm to limit their visibility? Seems likely to encourage more blocking–including of people who aren't offensive but who you just want to hobble. There's already too much blocking. https://t.co/QfSojn7CUY

EJ/CAP seem headed for future where low-wage migration keeps undercutting unskilled wages-but answer is hey, we have WPA-job for you! Better to control root causes (trade/immigration), tighten labor mkt so private sector works for all. WPA becomes last resort https://t.co/PNMtzbXsNZ

Agree w/ @EJDionne that it's not crazy-left for Dems to promote guaranteed jobs. It's a good idea. (Now end welfare for able-bodied & you have Tommy Thompson's W-2) https://t.co/rI3sIEc0OL But also need tight labor market–& to get it, have to control borders. That Dems won't do

Did Trump's Chief of Staff, Gen. Kelly, try to throw AG Sessions under the bus to protect Nielsen at DHS? https://t.co/3NgoOzf7Bf

Kausfiles Insider! Was Gen. Kelly, Trump’s Chief of Staff, trying to throw Attorney General Jeff Sessions under the bus on the immigration issue in order to protect his protege, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen? Kf hears this was the subplot of the recent cabinet meeting that (allegedly) caused Nielsen to think about quitting. In this telling, Kelly set up the meeting to focus on immigration judges so that Sessions would bear the brunt of Trump’s anger (at his administration’s failure to secure the southern border). But Trump turned on Nielsen instead. .., P.S.: If the immigration-control lobby had to choose, they would pretty clearly prefer Sessions–who’s been trying to crack down–to Nielsen.** See, for example, these comments from Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies, and this from Breitbart. …
__________
**– Nielsen’s not just a former Bush aide but Painter-endorsed!

I'm filing this with the widely-asserted scholarly claim that long-term welfare receipt wasn't a problem, when every average person knew it was (which LaDonna Pavetti's research finally showed). The academics are always the last to know. https://t.co/Npri3VdOXy

I've heard things about Hollywood writers' rooms–eg wildly offensive things (not unlike what Sadler said, which was awful) get said. Maybe worse. It doesn't leak. Would some people be pissed off if it did? https://t.co/dqZBnKvsNT
