If they're cancelling everyone who talks about a "culture of poverty" they'll also have to cancel, posthumously, the socialist Michael Harrington, whose book "The Other America" is credited with helping spark the War on Poverty. https://t.co/ueuonVok9c

"Parties can bounce back quickly, even after defeats that look epochal." Sensible but ignores effect of big mo'-immigration bill if Dems win it all. If do that, it's OVER even in medium term. GOP as we know it (Trump or non) is doomed. The factions would be fighting over a corpse https://t.co/6kgXZtjNQD

Yes, CJ Roberts' opinion in the DACA case is very Deep Statey!

That's the danger isn't it? Trump issues big "immigration bill" on crazy Yoo theory combining amnesties with shifts away from chain migration. Courts DON'T just throw it all out-they preserve the amnesties & throw out the chain restrictions, etc. Libs get ratchet, cons get shaft! https://t.co/Xt9k1XjZUL

[Reupping] LAST HIRED, FIRST FIRED. I believe it. That's why the worst thing you could do to US communities of color is open up the country to tens of millions more immigrants, legal & illegal, who'll get hired first.
Yet that's what Biden would do. https://t.co/hvZ86kugrC

Pre-writes are where they store the CW so it's unaffected by what actually happens. (Classic pre-write: "Immigrant Measure Survives Challenges" by @JonathanWeisman the night immigration bill did not survive challenges-mortally wounded by Dorgan amendment https://t.co/c1J3DW9MzQ ) https://t.co/7LgqqMDMST

THE BOWL OF S ..: Tax credits, block grants, "opportunity zones," Pell grants–sorry if this agenda sounds like something the Carter WH might come up with at nadir of his presidency. Seems incrementalist except huge expansion of Sec 8 vouchers (might be trouble for other reasons) https://t.co/hvZ86kugrC
