42 FOREVER: If “Temporary Protected Status” can never end (because it keeps getting renewed) why can’t a “public health emergency” (because new threats keep delaying end)? Keep it going for 2.5 more years and incoming GOP POTUS in 2024 will have border control tool at ready, no? https://t.co/AtP0nVVKt9

Does not seem like an insoluble dilemma, though. On the one side, Rep. Ruiz. On the other side, nine (9) terrified Democratic senators! Solution: Ruiz loses, his cause goes on. (Wild card: Will Schumer dig in in favor of letting 42 expire-risking his own near-term majority?) https://t.co/N2j64ziDDd

Seems like ‘journalists … performing for other journalists’ could as easily lead to a performative contrarianism, which would be better. “Hey, you changed my priors” etc. Maybe the reason it seems to lead to groupthink is MSM journalists overwhelmingly do agree with each other. https://t.co/isjyKkFC9y

Not saying @RonaldKlain has f–ked up. Not saying he hasn’t. But whatever he’s doing hasn’t worked. His boss and party are in a big hole. Sacking the COS/shaking up staff is sort of what you do in that situation. Gives the President a bit of a second chance.

It’s an empirical question-is a no-strings child check enough to enable a non-working, largely fatherless underclass (or a larger one than now). It’s also a sociological question as much as an economic one, no? Experience of AFDC era suggests we should be wary of no-work checks https://t.co/J3e6ZCiB1m

Doesn’t this suggest achieving a tight labor market by regulating supply (eg by controling immigration) beats achieving a tight labor market by running a ‘hot economy’? The former produces what we want (higher wages) with less risk of general overheating https://t.co/4KufmjPcnY

I mean, right now the policy is set to “lose.” So it’s hard to believe changing it would be “no win.” Just because some Dem activists would be offended doesn’t mean changing the policy wouldn’t be on balance a winner. Seems like an apologia for WH paralysis https://t.co/qvYroXVYVG
