He's president! He has veto power, DACA leverage. He cld have gotten something in the omnibus & blew it. Obviously has ineffective Congressional operation & is way too deferential to Ryan & business wing of GOP. Turns out he's a terrible negotiator. Doesn't have many chances left https://t.co/5VBfPDIVmx

"The Do Something President" Editorial's on immigration–odd because Trump has manifestly NOT accomplished anything legislatively on immigration. How many Trump actions (incl separations) stem from his guilt about shortchanging base? Worried they'll notice https://t.co/mDZnJkCDOV

Maybe their headline writers are like wiseguys who learn how to talk from wiseguy movies. Except @NYTimes trying to act like conservative media critics expect them to act. https://t.co/gzgDYhF2ik https://t.co/ivn70OE2FY

Reader raises point: How many of young Googe/Facebook/Twitter employees now setting limits of American political discourse are in fact H-1B workers-not Americans? That'd be weird no? Though seems possible Indians (who dominate H-1B) are more tolerant than recent US college grads https://t.co/BwaFdy8FF8

It *does* make sense as part of general anti-Trumper shift to say 'Collusion with Russians? Who said anything about collusion?' because they think they're going to nail him on something else (Edwards-style campaign violations, or taxes). I blame anonymous mid-level editors! https://t.co/sBuhdu9fWB

.@NYTimes' piece doesn't make much sense. @juliehdavis says Trump uses collusion "to encompass any allegation." Isn't he saying there are lots of allegations but they don't amount to collusion? Why can't he do that? https://t.co/5egWK2DEEL

Disagree. Readers have no idea (I don't either) the extent to which reporters' stories are torqued/directed to fit an agenda of mid-level editors (e.g. Jonathan "Don't Overthink This" Weisman https://t.co/r2kbUu2Gbc). https://t.co/wvWWhDFdMA
