The new post-Graydon print @VanityFair seems the opposite of a guilty pleasure. It can't possibly be selling on newsstands, can it?

GOP Establishment realizing they need the Trumpers (kind of way they needed religious right)? Do they still plan to wait Trumpers out & drive them from the party (after giving them *nothing* on immigration )? …. https://t.co/NIq1866pCA

TRUMP'S CONG. LIAISONS ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH: "The president’s White House Legislative Affairs Office has made no effort to halt the DHS spending bill, nor has there been a push for full border wall funding ahead of the budget showdown." It's up to Trump. https://t.co/LNllsOyKhN

Support for this from more places than you might expect! Advocates of sensible immigration control, for ex. (Graham is just as smug and obnoxious defending his Gang of 8 double-immigration-levels monstrosity as he is talking about Ford.) https://t.co/nfwpF7HJ2v

Did it get cut because a) it wasn't true b) undermined the narrative or c) @NYTimes didn't want to fight with @NewYorker? https://t.co/IB2nb5iHcN

Why the underlying polarization? Seems obvious: High Warren Court, Roe, Bush v. Gore disaster made it clear stakes at the Court were sky high, and usually irreversible. Can't lose & fight another day. So fight to death.

Seems to me the outrage on left over Garland is at least as much the result of crazy polarization as its cause. Why get so worked up? There was a Republican Senate. They didn't want him. Lesson of Bork is you don't have to confirm someone you don't want. So they didn't. https://t.co/3iailtD26L

And one important lever for raising wages that are too damn low is to control low-skilled immigration (that floods labor market and drives down unskilled wages, even if it enriches others). It's the elephant in the elephant in the room! https://t.co/h62iKFz1z3

Completely clear from this WaPo piece that GOP senators (Cornyn/Shelby/Flake quoted) don't like Trump's wall & WON'T GIVE IT TO HIM AFTER MIDTERMS. Only way to get it is to take something they want as bargaining chip-ie risk a shutdown. Postponement=Never https://t.co/xd8jirxZ5U

LINK FIXED: WaPo wall story makes it seem as if it's just a fight over money–$1.6B vs $5B https://t.co/g7PIBkjYSP… But there are also the humiliating restrictions on what can be built that Marc Short let into the omnibus. Those are as important. https://t.co/IntN3cMNgu
