2) It’s not like Gabbard has graduated from that group; many if not all the important people in her life are still associated somehow with Science of Identity (the name of the group); 3) the group has always been politically ambitious and somewhat secretive. What’s it up to? 3/

Should this be a problem for Gabbard’s nomination to be Director of National Intelligence? You can read those articles and decide for yourself–but it sure bothers me. 1) This is a relatively small, secretive group, headed by a teacher who makes RFK Jr. look like Marcus Welby; 2/

One of the weaker eerily prescient statements I’ve ever seen. A lot of Mayorkas’ efforts, which proved wildly unpopular, were designed to create “formal channels” for migration that were putatively legal. He largely took Yglesias’ advice. (He also eased up on enforcement.) https://t.co/ed6GrAkC51

Actually, the deplatforming was maybe crucial in Trump’s comeback. He went away for a bit. When he came back many voters had forgotten a) what they’d not liked about him b) how annoying it was to have to pay attention to him all the time.
