More suspicions that the Trump attacks on Sessions may be Jared's attempt to prepare the battlefield for a big immigration sellout in a Trump second term–he'd rather have a pliant pro-business Tuberville than a tough border-controller like Sessions. https://t.co/B8Zaphq1Mx

Wishing defeat on Graham, Cornyn, Murkowski et al is a pretty strong statement for a Fox News host … https://t.co/1P8q1M4alN

So the answer seems to be that there are quite a few studies, which @RAVerBruggen lists here: https://t.co/oilyYpEPRV Several contrast stay-at-home with more moderate measures. There are studies on other side listed too. But you can't say there's no evidence for lockdowns. https://t.co/Ui1fhmBl7c

I remember looking at pictures of packed bars in NYC for St. Patrick's Day — meanwhile out my window LA was quiet as a tomb, at a total standstill. You could practically take a nap on Olympic Blvd. That has to have made *some* difference. https://t.co/aJjbHZOzSJ

Put Americans on a UBI, bring in people from the rest of the world to take the jobs. It's Graham and Cornyn's plan to achieve AOC's dream. https://t.co/XVWqT1QRKV

Thanks. That gives both sides. Note that the OD death numbers are dwarfed by the potential savings of COVID lives — 27 extra OD's in March. But 2000 COVID deaths in Ohio, 5000+ in PA and MI. Just an order of magnitude greater IF you can have an impact via lockdown. https://t.co/pHLPsiqutp

Correction: The CA death rate is 100 per MILLION, compared with NY's 1,1519 per million. Ratio still the same — NY more than 15X higher https://t.co/LSywPfcjPm https://t.co/6AFtKU4LPB

Thanks! Cursory read is that it suggests stay at home orders worked, no? https://t.co/ABiF5vpqj0

You were a clerk: The government brief almost always sucks, no? Judges and clerks have to figure out the theories on their own. Maybe at the SCOTUS level you expect better. https://t.co/DMi51TNdGc

Today's Crazy and Easily Disproved Thought: You won't see this immigration proclamation (on guestworker programs in the pandemic) today because they were planning to sneak it out under cover of the Space X launch, which is now postponed. https://t.co/vZjeancoRn

Alternatively: We're not going to come close to the predicted 3000 daily deaths (good news! You were right!) because of lockdown/mitigation policies you opposed. https://t.co/3D5Qf49kfn

THEY'RE ADDING UP: Another mail-in ballot scandal! Makes @Twitter's "experts say" case even more ridiculous. I don't care if it's a Republican–may well be that GOPs will cheat more. Idea is not to have parity in cheating. The idea is to have fair elections. https://t.co/YpDfGIPxar

The courts don't get to decide what the rules of Twitter are! Twitter doesn't get to decide what the rules of Twitter are. @JeffreyToobin gets to decide what the rules of Twitter are.
