Also suffers from a kind of reification: Labor intensive manufacturing moved to China, then Bangladesh–but will never come back here. History has stopped? We'll see what the robots have to say about that. (Spoiler: Bangladesh hardest hit?) https://t.co/aMGgQ7ArpU

Does @Neil_Irwin give you any confidence that next phase of globalization–"companies relying on freelance labor located around the globe…through the internet" will benefit average (esp. unskilled) Americans? Me neither. Freelance labor in India, sure. https://t.co/B6CQ1IweLf

So is Paul Ryan an effective Speaker or not? On the one hand, he's ceded control of the non-defense part of the government to Pelosi and the Democrats. On the other hand, he's screwed President Trump (especially on immigration) …

Actually he seems to really want to amnesty the Dreamers. I wish he didn't. (Though at least he wants *something* to counteract the obvious incentive effect ot a Dreamer amnesty on further illegal immigration) https://t.co/eYql9XfoWq

"Wall system" joins "broken immigration system" as a disqualifying phrase in the immigration debate–a sign the speaker's attempting to con you. https://t.co/t2N7XqDmjx

If the WH is going to shut down the comment line (202 456 1111) at 4 PM, or every time it snows, then screw it, call the main switchboard at 202 456 1414 and say what you think about the wall-stopping, catch & release "omnibus" spending bill. https://t.co/LYrToaVAwu

.@DLind clarifies reports that the omnibus gives Trump more ICE agents: "[H]e’s getting barely 100, & none of them are the field agents responsible for arresting unauthorized immigrants." Instead they're "staff for investigations & mission support." https://t.co/6CssVNWR3I

.@DLind has details on why the omnibus is a FY to @RealDonaldTrump on immigration. Trump should maybe read this before he signs anything … https://t.co/6CssVNWR3I

You could try the actual switchboard (not the comment line) at 202 456-1414. Or use the electronic comment form https://t.co/aPxJEEtOTB. Or wait until 9AM, if Senate hasn't yet sent the bill to Trump. https://t.co/5TUVcUZE8x

Was Bolton announcment sped up to distract from @realDonaldTrump's capitulation on Ryan's spending bill? (If so, it might be working.) https://t.co/VgrmSSy4Ve

Seems more like the opposite of what has just happened–GOP and Dem leadership constraining, even emasculating, Trump in their spending bill. https://t.co/k3XqPVafUJ

Is it CW yet that Bolton appointment, legal team shuffle, maybe assertive new foreign policy is Trump's way of compensating for his otherwise humiliating capitulation to Ryan's Congress?

Only 3 days ago we were told Trump was "newly emboldened" to ignore cautions, etc. But on key big spending bill Ryan, McConnell & DC Establisment find he's easily managed. Good boy! Now sign it like you should. https://t.co/61DcmMyvkb

Anything else @RealDonaldTrump can do to distract from his pathetic capitulation on the big spending bill? Don't answer that.
