So we'll get relief for criminals (not an issue in the 2016 campaign) but no relief for low-wage American workers competing with illegal immigrants (big issue in 2016 campaign).
Thanks, Jared! https://t.co/EHCdbPjRFm

Trump didn't make the obvious move and say "You say the wall won't work. I say it will. It works in other countries. Let me build a stretch of it and let's see if it works. There's no way of knowing unless we try it. Don't you want to find out? Are you scared it will work?"

Staple of pre-election anti-Trumpism was WHAT BORDER CRISIS? After all, Illegal crossers were down from 2000 peak, when feds caught "between 71,000 and 220,000…each month," https://t.co/hnDRA6QfYY
Well, last 2 months were over 60,000. Let us know when we're permitted to worry

That's grossly unfair re DACA. Kelly was talking about those who were eligible but failed to apply. He said some were afraid to apply but some "should have probably gotten off the couch and signed up." So? I think @RepGutierrez would agree (he was urging people to sign up). https://t.co/1Tj7syDaXf

That can't be true, if you suspect (as I do) that Trump was conned by his aides on the no-wall omnibus (after which he vowed never to do it again). Some chiefs of staff could un-con him! If you think it was all Trump Kabuki, sure, staff doesn't matter. https://t.co/8aKNP5r1Ug

Don't understand. Of course I attacked Edwards. He cheated on his dying wife when his loyalty to her was a root of his campaign. I also tried-semi-competently-to expose him when MSM ignored. But I didn't think he should be indicted and said so when he was: https://t.co/qKIxDt5Mhe https://t.co/C9UMyrKfVx

But it would be Banana Republicy to prosecute your predecessor in office. Norms! Remember? I actually don't think it would happen, @AndrewCMcCarthy. notwithstanding. I suspect this is all basically impeachment grist. https://t.co/SXlyItnwgR

Also in both cases were other possible motives. Edwards' case here might even be weaker.1) Edwards wife knew of affair 2) Trump has multimillion $ brand–ample business reason to keep seediness under wraps; 3) Suspect Trump may have history of payoffs (in non campaign contexts)? https://t.co/JaMtNWe351

"He said he could be to poverty what Al Gore was to the environment." Edwards explainng why he wanted to keep mistress story quiet (per witness). https://t.co/YMGKeLi3u4 – i.e.- plenty of evidence in Edwards case too–hush $ *obviously* helped campaign in both cases. #onpoint https://t.co/1fqDfoUYdb

THANKS, PROP. 47! Since CA's Prop. 47 downgraded many theft crimes (e.g. <$950) to misdeameanors, seems like those crimes have sharply increased. More evidence: This warning sign just appeared in a local coffee shop in a nearby hard-working middle class community… pic.twitter.com/4eGOhd9AhI
