"Congress can fix this. Congress can change the rules so the Flores consent decree will no longer apply, and it can appropriate more money for family shelters at the border." Administration wants this; pretty damning that Ryan et al show no desire to do it. https://t.co/txGZyUMmYC

"Homelessness dips in L.A. and countywide." Seems imprecise methodology. 3-5% one way or another has to be within margin of error. https://t.co/fl0GdR3g7F

It's Trump's job to make the Congressional GOP care, no? @MarcShort45 is so not the man to help him do it. https://t.co/yaWByQROnH

Also see 3 or 4 hydrogen cars per day now. Soon the hydrogen people and the Tesla people will face off, like the Mods and the Rockers. https://t.co/fg59bOwjkp

If you're trying to figure out when the dam began to crack (regarding predatory behavior by progressive men) don't forget S.Lessard's 1979 Wash Monthly article on EMK https://t.co/LTi3nL2Gv5 @MichaelKinsley quit his job when @TNR wouldn't publish it. https://t.co/cqmARVYV3S

Again, there is easy way to put this "myth" to rest, no? Compare CA voting rolls with alternative drivers' license rolls (used largely by undocumented). Don't need to ID individuals–just see how big the match is. https://t.co/txuoTahx8C

Alternatively: "Compaints about labor shortage" do not necessarily reflect a real phenomenon (ie a labor shortage). They're part of a PR campaign ginned up by Chamber of Commerce, other business types & media to push for more immigration/amnesty/guest workers https://t.co/fc7KwNfXwf

Winning move would be for @ValerieJarrett to have a "beer summit" with Roseanne, working toward some kind of apology/redemption/understanding–no? (Admittedly risky because Roseanne is loon.)

If the "discharge" GOPs are so keen on helping DREAMers you'd think they'd eagerly accept, even push, the quid-pro-quo reforms in the Goodlatte bill (which protects DACAns). But no. Because it's not about the DREAMers. It's about loose borders. https://t.co/VID6dPMPyI

"On the flip side, more businesses (40%) plan to use E-Verify to establish applicants' work eligibility, up from 25% in 2017." A mandate would even the playing field for that 40%, no? https://t.co/MkwJRuPUaP
