Note also there’s also no contradiction between Trump taking credit for junking Roe and supporting Roe-like relatively permissive abortion laws. The issue is whether it’s something that’s decided in the Constitution (via strained interpretations) or decided democratically. https://t.co/01oPhEIKTx

BURIED LEDE? Trump says GOPs pushing federal abortion restriction “are handing Democrats their dream of the House, Senate, and perhaps even the Presidency.”

How often does Trump to concede he might lose the 2024 election, as opposed to having it stolen? https://t.co/np5b9HMMBR

I’m not having my best weekend, but if immigrant influx lowers wages, many native-born who might otherwise work may choose to retire. (Like what happened after decline of journalists’ incomes.) So immigrants get jobs, causing natives to leave work force. Seems like crowding out. https://t.co/MdCYZGrEwj

And of course when the economy turns down again, as it will, the new immigrant workers will still be around, increasing competition for jobs–and less educated, skilled natives will be out of luck. Long term screwing of those people will continue. But yay, we beat the G7 on GDP! https://t.co/etMpQ5weY0
