Look at the death charts in this WaPo piece. Do they scare you about an explosion of COVID in rural areas? Daily death per capita (what they measure) still much lower — and stopped rising a while ago. https://t.co/xNyKdPsvql

An example of something Sessions did to advance Trump's agenda (and stem the flood of asylum seekers) when he was AG: He tightened up the definition of asylum, which had been stealthily expanded by activists to include victims of a "culture of machismo" https://t.co/LnAvW3FLA0

Please read @NeilMunroDC 's latest before you assume (as I once did) that H-1B "guestworkers" are all super-skilled foreign tech whizzes doing work Americans can't do. I'm sure some are, but most …. https://t.co/MRvndFDXsQ

After all's said & done, the Mueller probe (and impeachment) turned out rather well for Trump, no? Cleared of collusion. And what was that Ukraine business all about again? Then the virus came and he blew it. https://t.co/PVslPAJt1d

CHEAP "OPT" LABOR HURTS THE HEARTLAND: "[A]verage wage of a programmer in Silicon Valley is $160,000, while in most of the country it is under $100,000…'Employers might say ‘Maybe we should move to Ohio.'…Instead, [they] use the OPT system to get cheap labor at a discount."

PS: The firing was OBVIOUSLY about the Russia investigation. The Holt interview just stupidly gave the 'howling mob' the ammo it needed to force special prosecutor. https://t.co/dl4rLJfgUN

He was ambiguous. Shouldn't have been. Seems to be trying to say he knew firing would be a mess because of investigation, but digresses. Then Holt asks him if he's mad at Comey on Russia, he says he just wants someone who is "competent," which he says means the inquiry will end. https://t.co/DjItG3zDVX

If even Schweikart is admitting a special prosecutor was inevitable, post-Comey, I'd say it's case closed. https://t.co/mZqDUsHaeu

Coulter is right. If you care about controlling immigration, Trump's endorsement of 'We Need Workers' Tuberville, the state-of–the-art Zuckerberg/K Street more-immigration candidate, is indefensible. https://t.co/VW9irAoETs

Once Trump fired Comey and said it was about Russia, not even AG Barr could have avoided a special prosecutor. https://t.co/8vlJy6CZaN

You're always angriest at someone you think wronged you when you deep down know it was at least part your fault-because then you're out not just for revenge but for vindication. Think that helps explain Trump v. Sessions. Trump knows it was HIS Comey mistake that got him Mueller https://t.co/Fbw4vM6D2y

The thing is, Coulter can dish it back to Trump as well as Trump can dish it out. And she's rightly pissed off about Trump's deranged push to beat Sessions with a weak Zuckerberg tool. Check out her whole feed. Could be some kind of inflection. Trump needs his WHOLE base, no? https://t.co/Jscg3XGgVW

"Disruption" reelection strategy seems better when you describe it than when WaPo does. But it seems hard to run against "K Street politics or Beltway governance" when you've spent 50% of your term carrying K St & Beltway GOP's water (in the form of Paul Ryan's agenda)…. https://t.co/h5kVeuCesc

H-1B visa workers are *not* indentured servants. … But it's close! They can't afford to question their bosses or they'll lose their visas. Munro calls it "bonded service," and argues it's actually hurting U.S. high tech industries. https://t.co/LcCCqZvpER
