Caving on DACA *wouldn't* kill Trump with his base? Note even Marc Short agreed with Miller on this. a) They were right b) Miller not running show by himself. https://t.co/fAT2Y8LUNB

1) My theory: Because he doesn't want to strengthen Rs negotiating position, because he's for loose borders 2) Politico's theory: Because the bill must be bipartisan because–well, he said it should be bipartisan. And all bipartisan bills are good! That's it https://t.co/80Lg08PBvX

So Senate can vote on amnestiers' bill because it's "bipartisan," but House can't exercise it's power by voting on Goodlatte bill? https://t.co/B08LByfVIP Was that Ryan's policy on tax cuts?

Eric Cantor seems much too oleaginous to tell Obama "I cannot even stand to look at you." https://t.co/sKOEm9QQGZ and https://t.co/AGJFED5vLZ Also: Durbin likes to try to blow up shutdown talks…

Tight labor market does wonderful things. So many working groups on how to get ex-prisoners jobs. In CA we ban employers from asking criminal history! A tight labor market is way more effective/less bureaucratic. Let's control immig & keep it tight 4 a while https://t.co/LSwr67r5f0

I'm for work-testing all cash benefits–incl. food stamps when there are jobs. Maybe someone can explain to me why work-testing Medicaid makes sense. We're not going to deny needed care (https://t.co/aHAyog2mAf) nor should we. So what does it accomplish? https://t.co/i77pi8m96Q

"Trump administration to let states adopt Medicaid work requirements" https://t.co/i77pi8m96Q They've found a work requirement that even Robert Rector doesn't like, which isn't easy https://t.co/aHAyog2mAf

Agree that it helps Durbin save face for failing/deluding Dreamer activists–also distracts from the failure and rallies them to his side when they might otherwise be sniping at him. https://t.co/ZCRVMDIRNk

The "diversity visa lottery" is now positively cathected for Dems the way the Wall is for GOPs. That means restrictionists might get a lot from Dems by keeping lottery going. How abt keep lottery but end "chain" categories for siblings & adult childrn? https://t.co/kMt0f1Inqb

Is this the end of the @LindseyGrahamSC suck-up strategy for influencing Trump? https://t.co/98rbulpwg1 (I suspect no. Might still work even for Bannon if not for Javanka)

Why did Durbin "blow up the 's***hole' meeting"? @RichLowry discusses. My theory: Durbin's creaky 'Hey we're bipartisan' strategy to con Trump had failed. This is was sort of a 4th down longshot pass–nothing to lose, might work. Ask Saints fans. https://t.co/98rbulpwg1

I don't see how Alsup's decision helps Dems either-but maybe I'm missing something. Seems almost like a GOP smart bomb–removes immediate urgency, which helps get them past shutdown, yet preserves later leverage because will probably be overturned. https://t.co/Yr50b4xiMP

Take it up with @Jonathanweisman, who says:
"the judicial order is a gift to 2018 Senate Dems who never wanted to shut down the govt over immigration. Expect Dems to fracture & gvt to stay funded."
So Dems up for reelection thought it wouldn't help them? https://t.co/1cWOZmMuTW— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) January 14, 2018

The NYT calling the weak Gang of Six proposal "an emerging agreement" seems a bit much. It had the votes of the 6 veteran amnestiers who cooked it up. Who else? https://t.co/NTwkZ6SvV5

Democrats would be crazy to shut down the government over DACA. They'd also be crazy to want to "have the issue" in the midterms–won't help them, will hurt DACAns. That suggests they'll want to cut a deal after the budget's passed, no? https://t.co/Jm9Oj5H5Cq
