An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

Not for nothing: on a subconscious level, if nothing else, they know this. So imagine how bad the economic data they’re not letting us see must be if they’re trotting out the “you have too many of everything“ argument *10 days before Christmas.*
I love when he does this “You have too many things, you only need 2 or 3 things” bit to his base of suburbanites who have each and every individual consumption item driven to their house separately and who treat everything they purchase, from tissues to TVs, as single-use disposable.
Article about Trump's speech in Pennsylvania yesterday, in which he called for decreased pencil and doll consumption.

I’m always a little amazed when the bus I’m riding has to crawl through traffic because street parking prevents having a dedicated bus lane. Why should five cars slow down 50+ people?

It was filed in February. They ignored it. No right to complain that it's a brand new ask. #mapoli

I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.
