"Acting DHS secretary to accuse ICE chief at press conference of divulging immigration raids: Officials" https://t.co/7oP6PYCcBf Wow. Shouldn't the WH have figured out what happened and fired one of them on Monday?

BURIED LEDE: What journalists saw at the Clint shelter yesterday NOT what lawyers talked about earlier. Maybe a Potemkin tour, but cries out for explanation. "Children appeared to be wearing clean clothes," Bunk beds, bathrooms, kids "free to move around." https://t.co/urIp2cwGOn

Would Trump have made more progress on immigration if he'd decathected the issue by using milder rhetoric? Item #3 in kausfiles newsletter https://t.co/ac4GIZYRfa

Am I crazy or do the differences in these bills seem like relatively small potatoes–easy to hash out in a compromise version. Don't quite understand the fuss. Maybe I am missing something. … https://t.co/2UYNLn1BBt

Never quite understood this controversy–seems much better to be behind a chain link fence than behind a concrete walls (as in the photo accompanying this 2016 Breitbart scoop https://t.co/28b1YjP7BG) https://t.co/5AgMhxvvgN

It was obvious that-if you looked at the legal loopholes (having practical effect of giving vast majority of people who claim asylum & have kid in tow entry into US, never to be deported)-you had makings of a crisis.

The child is in that picture because of Judge Gee, no? It was her Flores rulings that made bringing kids across the border the ticket to entry into US. https://t.co/BQIYkoCLpb

Remember two weeks ago when all respectable opinion dismissed Trump's Mexico deal (after tariff threats) as phony–nothing Mexico hadn't agreed to before? https://t.co/TO2MeqAV9r Well, not so fast https://t.co/EPyLnPUrQj

They are overwhelmed. Time to temporarily shut off asylum at the border using 1182 (f) authority. If you're giving a rock concert and people are getting trampled in tunnels trying to get in, you call off the concert. https://t.co/ubLhVdRPOk

Since it's cheap (but not very effective–trust me) to remain a Web-only candidate, the key question is then access to debates, not 'whom will the MSM anoint?'. Debate cutoff rules become the new Great Winnower, no? https://t.co/I1dKvZ5CTP

Seems sound! Obvious question: Do voters care as much if media bigs in NY decide to winnow out candidates after Super Tuesday? (Do you watch the evening news anymore?) What if, say, Rachel Madow goes rogue and decides to keep a Super Tuesday loser's candidacy alive? https://t.co/U9NnHKU8Jx
