Jared Kushner's father bought his place at Harvard for $2.5 million? https://t.co/SLaixy7yNh I'd heard that Harvard sold its honor. I didn't realize how cheap.

Met Leiner often through mutual friends. A v-nice man. Harold & Kumar's a good movie.. Didn't realize he'd directed all these other things (eg episodes of Sopranos, Gilmore Girls, The Office). Respect. https://t.co/D283mDMYwK

No, there's a lot left: Universal health care, Social Security pensions, enivronmental/worker safety protections, work-based income support, non-discrimination, infrastructure, building public institutions that treat people as equals. All MORE possible if we control the border https://t.co/2RdnldZNb7

Where is the Coalition of the Ascendant? If it has trouble winning the House under a president as controversial (8 pts. underwater) as Trump, how ascendant is it? https://t.co/2jxZFQqBB9

At least we don't have a mayor who made solving the homeless problem his #1 issue.
Now he wants to run for president–and people are actually taking him seriously. https://t.co/UNv1lTKfLR

TORQUING THE NEWS:: The linked piece says Trump was asked if he found it "credible," not if he *believed* it. Think there is a difference between those two.

"Hey Senator Warren: Where’s Bern?" https://t.co/4ubzTQtdx0 Warren looks v-foolish. But am sick of pieces written in this taunting, ball-hiding Twitchy style. Tell it straight & you have chance of really embarrassing her (by convincing some on her side).

"The official said Trump is annoyed by a sense that he was blindsided and by what he sees as Kushner’s misjudgment. Kushner has in recent days been sidelined from the Khashoggi case, which many in the administration see as beneficial." https://t.co/SKMrKyEQ3X

Can't we reasonably think that 1) MbS can be replaced by someone else less reckless, 2) Whoever that is will be more hesitant to kill critics of the regime? Neither of these requires the fall of the House of Saud https://t.co/iK7KDR5Or3

For most of my adult life, one party or another (echoed by pundits) has talked about keeping mid-term elections local. It never works. Always nationalized over one issue or another. @RonBrownstein has the numbers. https://t.co/p2USEcBDQN

What do I know, but "we don't want to do business with MBS" seems like a simpler more efective solution than delaying rich Saudis visas.** Plus, if we're going to "indict anyone involved in Khashoggi’s murder" … well?
