This is bizarre on many levels. #1 is that the bill did say 5,000 a day, not 5,000 a week, contrary to what Trump says. (It would require a 7 day average of 5000 per day, according to the bill summary). https://t.co/XSZDLiPgVm

It’s not the notes. It’s the pre-screening of questions–from donors!–with the answers pre-written on the notes. Gives the impression of someone who can’t deal with spontaneous queries. Event totally scripted and staged. Did Obama need that? Anyway that’s why it’s a story. https://t.co/zXOgRhxvly

I can’t get through a 10 minute podcast without notes. If I had time I’d put them on cards. But pre-screening (and pre-answering) donor questions seems weird. Bill Clinton and Obama didn’t need that, did they? Did Biden need that in 2020? https://t.co/dWxF9OMrKk

Gemini is comically, satisfyingly bad. Almost immediately after saying something it admits error and explains “As a large language model, I am still under development …”
If it were played by an actor, the actor would be Martin Short (as Nathan Thurm). https://t.co/wn83yTU91T

Is this a consequence of Biden administration’s request that Mexico tamp down the migration? One result of farming out the job: No fingerprints. Another result: Mexico may do it via harsher means than we would like (some even worse than ‘kids in cages’). https://t.co/wxHVOnhogr

“The courts were emphatic that the Trump administration could not deny asylum based simply on how one entered the country.” Would it be legally more permissable to deny asylum to EVERYONE for a while, even if they came through port of entry? Simpler! https://t.co/88U2syPgBU
