Though it's not just that those too rich for subsidies resent what those who are poorer get under Obamacare. The unsubsidized were actively screwed by Obamacare, no? https://t.co/iLFm96QXVH

Mr. Journalism Professor Sir: Are we allowed to report how AP and ADL were conned by 4chan, because you know that plays right into the campaign to discredit the mainstream press? https://t.co/dM8bvojnQf https://t.co/AmT4liBM0F

WaPo does say "some" GOPS "were wary that granting legal status to undocumented immigrants would amount to amnesty," but only cites Cruz. https://t.co/afoPNxLiuH

Focus groups say Dems have "no agenda" for mid-terms. But Dem leadership "hopes immigration will fill their agenda gap." They can't be that deluded. https://t.co/O94ejWBu9H

"Trump regularly asks Mulvaney for his thoughts on matters ranging far beyond his Budget portfolio, including immigration …" That is alarming. (Mulvaney's a squish.) https://t.co/RDm0m7a2Je

The idea that increasing supply of immigrant workers *doesn't* lower wages always seemed implausible in face of small businesses whining (as here) that unless they get more workers they'll have to pay more in wages. https://t.co/A8rMmZnGit

Are Trump's immigration enforcement policies paying off in a tighter labor market and higher wages? The percent of small businesses that say they plan to increase wages is at highest level since 1989. https://t.co/QjoRxwf58f

Also suggests that Trump's seemingly impulsive (read: egomaniacal) decision to make a bold, 'generous" move and more than double the size of the DACA amnesty to 1.8 M may have cost him dearly on Senate floor. https://t.co/lY1KbouOgU

Suggests the "center of gravity" in the Senate isn't as left/amnesty as you'd think it is reading the coverage–i.e. 'defeat for Trump's message,' 'only 39 votes,' etc. https://t.co/RDCQl0npIP

So 11 of the 14 GOP senators who voted against the "Trump framework" DACA bill did so because it had TOO MUCH amnesty, not because too restrictionist? Wouldn't know that from MSM coverage https://t.co/5TR96Hn6H5

But last page of Rounds bill wrote Obama's ICE priorities into law–basically told ALL illegals in interior (not just DREAMers) 'You're home free.' That's why DHS went batso. Wasn't just a DACA for Wall trade. https://t.co/gDvGqoQj2y

40 votes for Grassley bill, which would end "chain" migration in 10 plus years. How would bill that only reduced chain, but more quickly, & switched some slots to employment-based, have done? (I don't know,)
