How discredited? "Comey, two decades his junior, treated Mueller as a close friend and almost mentor. The men had known each other for years as each rose into the small, elite fraternity."–Garrett M. Graff https://t.co/aMF2vWtIDn Seems like a conflict to me. https://t.co/YWxhYta6yA

"immigration crisis that exists only in his mind"? I thought this sneer had been dropped, now that even the @NYTimes editorial board https://t.co/LIeh2ToNQw and Obama's DHS secretary https://t.co/ctP4ASImax agree there's a crisis. https://t.co/4L1Qquv7gr

Still mystified that *leftish* whippersnappers think it's devastating to portray their enemies as poor. Isn't that what the most obnoxious conservatives used to do? Whether or not it's true, what's wrong with living on $23K a year (not easy)? https://t.co/4vpfJeNwBF

NYT acts like Hofeller was the only person giving this obvious advice. It's a v-useful question with ancillary political effects that probably help GOP. No evidence in story that Trump wants it to pursue Hofeller's "voting age" idea. If Trump does, then story will make sense. 2/

Doesn't show that Hofeller's wacky plan to count only voting age citizens "drove" the citizenship question. He advised them to include the question & a friend of his became an informal adviser to Sec. Ross. Pretty thin. Didn't need Hofeller to tell 'em to include the question. 1/ https://t.co/2w3VkFRvOA

Asked at on-record briefing on the Mexico tariffs which goods they will apply to, administration official (think it was Mulvaney) says "All of them." Then silence. Then next question.

I'm stupid so this article seems-how to put it-insane. There's no American culture since we didn't invent English (?) & what we did invent ("popular music, the cinema") is liked elsewhere. (?) The only fixed thing we inherited is Alexander the Great's command to invade Argentina. https://t.co/tRMe2lTRkG

Corollary: If establishment parties had controlled immigration earlier, there would have been no widespread populist rise and no "crisis" of globalization (or "liberalism"). They might have happily gone on being globalists on trade & transnational governance. https://t.co/43tkAkQCn9

Even if immigrants don't typically become homeless themselves, they use housing, driving UP rents–at the same time as they're driving DOWN wages. Result: More people who are already here are unable to afford a place to live, no? https://t.co/t8l4CMfN6K

Note it was 30% of the kids who were chosen for testing because they were *suspected* of not being who they claimed. It's not 30% of

Calm, fair analysis of this problem: They aren't "recycled," they aren't kidnapped. They're sent by their parents to pose as somebody else's kid, for which the parents are rewarded (eg with a discount from the smuggling fee charged by coyotes for their own illegal entry). https://t.co/NxTlFVEIMk
