Wait. @dylanmatt worries that the Earned Income Tax Credit, by encouraging recipients to work, "runs a risk of depressing wages by pushing more people into the labor market." Why don't … immigrants (legal & illegal) have the same effect? https://t.co/XnxJwpu0sn

Rubio's run for President, had backing of much of GOP policyklatura, and Tucker Carlson's beating him. Yet he will run again. It's impossible to imagine him *not* running again. https://t.co/xQjmY8F880

Trump pledges to cut capital gains tax in second term https://t.co/kMWNomE6LK Would love to blame @jaredkushner and not Mnuchin or somebody else for this foolishness. But need evidence.(Not much!)

DOES HARRIS HAVE HILLARY'S FOREIGN POLICY? "[Harris adviser] Flournoy 'pushed hard' for military intervention in Libya, according to a 2011Huffington Post profile." … She also "called for greater U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war " https://t.co/2HLVrcIZet

Strong graf from @ByronYork on the many times Trump has been ordered by a judge to stop doing something –and obediently complied with the courts. This is not the hallmark of an autocrat. "Trump has done what judges tell him to do." https://t.co/AGpEqqEejL

PS I tried to check the video but you need some complicated paid connection to see it, which I don't have. It is possible I misheard. But cases nationallly seem to be declining. https://t.co/LSywPfcjPm

Thread. Was @Yamiche really suggesting that Trump said he wanted to lower the minority share of suburbanites? That's the only way it would be a "moment to behold," no? (Trump was actually talking about playing it safe with his stat on the minority share of sububanites.) https://t.co/0Ax5YO0ZtD

Am I hard of hearing or did @ABCWorldNews just insert in its dire coronavirus coverage–as quickly and unemotionally as humanly possible–that "cases are declining in 29 states"? Whispering the lede.

The point, as with most @voxdotcom stories. is to give the readers on their team enough reason to not question anything they already believe and to go to bed untroubled. Sometimes this is harder to pull off than others … https://t.co/w5zK7lTGQi

PS It seems pretty clear that SCOTUS will quickly slap down Trump's recent executive lawmaking — for the sin of taking Roberts' opinion seriously. Roberts will make it clear it was a one-case precedent, like Bush v. Gore, to try to avoid the chaos he has created. https://t.co/hsDTGkmuQz
