How the “child tax credit” expansion before the Senate is part of a long Dem march to undo the welfare reform of 1996–especially the bill’s “lookback” provision (which waters down the CTC’s work requirement) https://t.co/CRHh0DJCh7

“So this was a great deal for the Democrats. They were building a bulwark against a possible Trump win. It’s a great thing that it died. The Republican negotiators, you know, um, I don’t know them very well but I am very embarrassed on their behalf.” https://t.co/LXlveKj2MG”

Yes. I thought the Biden pitch was “Inflation is over! I licked it! Soft landing!” not “Aren’t lingering higher prices really annoying?” https://t.co/1Et5sadnWz

I would think the smart Biden reaction to his open-wound border failure (if he wants to be reelected) would be to accept Mayorkas’ resignation, not to send him on Meet the Press. https://t.co/mmDsfB8s30

Hmm. In 2013, @paulkrugman worried (somewhat courageously) that immigrants lowered wages of the less-skilled US workers they competed with. ( “That’s just supply and demand …”) https://t.co/6w7AAo4sDR What happened? https://t.co/FRe8JsipBj

Biden could give it another shot, given that it wasn’t’ a full SCOTUS ruling and the lineup has changed. If 200 million people show up at the border, the President can’t say “You have the right to apply but there are practical limits so we can only do so many a day”? https://t.co/BcTI5jUHY0

Even if the only “emergency” recognized is inability to process immigrants, you could say ‘We only have ability to process 100 a day. Sorry!” Who is court to second guess? I mean, in theory we *could* allocate enough resources to process 100K a day. Will courts require that?

Well they could give it a try with the new SCOTUS lineup! Don’t quite understand why what Trump did was struck down but the 4,000-5,000 “emergency” shutdown in Lankford deal wouldn’t be struck down. Still conflicts with statute saying have right to “apply” for asylum outside POE https://t.co/BcTI5jUHY0

Hmm. I’m not sure the staff tells him everything.–especially the bad news. He has a temper. I bet he still thinks he (or, rather, his speechwriters) wrote the lines they ripped off from RFK (or RFK’s speechwriters) decades ago. https://t.co/mycJjxfmKu

Not sure “messages precision-targeted at crossover voters” will do the trick, unless “pivot to the center” (which @mattyglesias also recommends) is such a message. Stop sluicing in migrants. Fire Mayorkas. Don’t undermine welfare reform with “tax credits”. That’s precision! https://t.co/WVkhBaXxn0
