If I were paranoid, and I am, I'd suspect this wasn't a Yoder play, but a Ryan play, or a Koch/Singer play–at least a loose-borders GOP lobbyist/donor play. Lowly Yoder the cat's paw!
Can't wait to see what the Ryanist Loose Border Lobby has planned for the lame duck session. https://t.co/iT03KYcm9B

Hmm. If a) GOP leadership didn't alert Sessions to backstabbing @KevinYoder amendments & b) all but one of the GOPs on committee voted for the plan even AFTER Sessions' phone pleas, doesn't that suggest this ain't about Yoder. He's pawn in leadership play. https://t.co/G02ReO12rr

WELCOME, SARAH! Just a note: Jeong's "longer form" pieces, which everyone seems to like, are, um, edited. Aren't her unfiltered tweets more likely to be the "core" her, rather than a distraction. https://t.co/YIIE9V59Sz

President should know how to get something out of Congress controlled by his own party. He's hardly powerless. He chose to go along with Ryan's establishment agenda first, his own immigration agenda later, down the road, yeah we'll get to it, … https://t.co/gWVy86ulxx

Illegal immig. hasn't "continued to surge" (it's normal https://t.co/2Sq9Q9CsSw) but Trump's utter failure to pass ANY immmig-control measures (wall/E-Verify/loophole closing) is stunning. Either he doesn't know how to use Pres. power or chose not to. https://t.co/6I5dbZq8gx

"In the past three years, workers in the bottom two-fifths of the income distribution have seen comparable or faster real wage growth than they did in the late 1990s." Seems even a bit too good to believe, given memories of how hot the late1990s were. https://t.co/VxeyxrPaHq

Much more optimistic picture of wage growth from @JasonFurman https://t.co/VxeyxrPaHq than from NYT's @dleonhardt https://t.co/oRs9Ps6xvJ I'm going with Furman. (Both ignore immigration, of course.)

"The biggest labor-market surprise these days …might be that goods-producing job growth is surging." However you apportion credit between Trump and Obama, THIS IS WHAT TRUMP PROMISED, no?
