Ice cream truck coming down the street in Beverly Hills just now. Instead of a jingle it's playing Leonard Cohen.

"It is not a 'threat' when workers do well. But if you need a dash of terror to get your day started…when robust wage growth finally shows itself, Donald Trump will be the one who demands the credit for it. And there’s a chance the people of the US might just give it to him." https://t.co/M8xexJllfo

When it comes to complaints of a labor shortage, as Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Fed, has said: “If you’re not raising wages, then it just sounds like whining.” https://t.co/C7ZnpEt3Hs

SOLUTION: MORE IMMIGRATION! Why no raises? "[T]he ability of American companies to find cheaper labor abroad or automate further …" I think @PatcohenNYT left something out (namely importing cheaper labor to US) … https://t.co/bWDei6fgdA

"Hire me and you get your document sluiced right into the top levels of FBI." Stinks if a Senator's spouse does that, stinks if Michael Cohen does it, and stinks if Ohr's wife does it. https://t.co/0VaTZRfGW6

The Ohr business stinks. But why are the implications massive? Seems like half the people in DC were funneling the Steele dossier to the FBI. Did they need Ohr? (I admit haven't followed this closely.) https://t.co/4HO7GHposi

Don't think I favor work-testing Medicaid (neither does Rector! https://t.co/aHAyofKLbF) But I recommend DeParle's American Dream for description of real life "complicated family situations" & how work requirement that doesn't accept that excuse can help https://t.co/Kk8DPnqCZP

And if Pelosi is replaced, is there any reason to think it will be by someone *less* partisan (which @theabstoddard seems to think a realistic possibility). Joe Crowley, maybe. https://t.co/HZK0deIb3H

1) Wussy not to name names! 2) Cohen's a pretty good Trumpversteherversteher. '@Peter_Wehner says it's not conservatism' not a very satisfying un-verstehering. https://t.co/RKRen2MCLL

Yes, but risks taking the wind out of the Abolish Ice movement. GOPs want it to keep gathering steam on the left, then have the vote in October, no? https://t.co/g0iW2LnMQC

REMINDER: That "99% show up for court" figure for "alternatives to detention" is 98% BOGUS. https://t.co/q1lgjxRVMD People should stop using it. In any case, catch & release over the long term is a huge perverse incentive to come & live in US while waiting for court date. https://t.co/7yAYXxOIx7

Didn't warn organizers that you'd gone crazy! Must be misunderstanding. Looked forward to that event & it was a good event–@page88 and @walterkirn going at it about Trump. I did think @page88 big list was v-over-paranoid ("cracked"). You make the call https://t.co/NiDV482DyB https://t.co/oGm2snS9Ko
