Per this reporting, what Trump would offer is the BRIDGE Act, which is a lot different than the Dream Act and wouldn't provide a pathway to citizenship.
More detail here: bit.ly/2QZNBdX
In other words, this is not a terribly enticing offer for Democrats, despite the fact that Democrats would seem to have more leverage in this negotiation since (so far) Trump has been losing the political/public opinion battle.
Maybe Pelosi should offer to fully fund the border wall in exchange for passage of HR 1, the Democrats' giant voting rights/campaign finance/anti-corruption bill. It's her top priority and the border wall is Trump's, so everyone gets what they want.

Incredibly weak shit from @billburton @SteveSchmidtSES. You learn absolutely nothing by putting a generic "centrist independent" against 2 named candidates.
Who will you vote for in 2020
Hmm, see some votes for Warren/Trump. You may be unaware that:
—AWESOME INDEPENDENT😀 will work for the American people, not special interests!
—AWESOME INDEPENDENT😀 has all your policy views!
—AWESOME INDEPENDENT😀 is *really* cool—indeed, awesome—and wants to be your friend!

In the cross-partisan category, Harris is also crushing Howard Schultz in search interest.

Harris is also the only Democrat with a material number of endorsements. She's probably the frontrunner at this point, folks. I don't mean she's the odds-on favorite, because there isn't one, but I think you can argue to rank her a half-tier above the other leading contenders.

This, also. Frankly, I'm not sure whether Howard Schultz or Pete Buttigieg is more likely to become president. I'd probably say Buttigieg if pressed. And at least he's held public office before and isn't too chickenshit to run in a party's primary.
At the risk of being hypocritical—we'll have a couple of articles on him this week—what's the journalistic case for providing heavy coverage of Schultz? He's not remotely likely to win. He's not especially well-known or popular. And he doesn't really have any interesting ideas.
Not only are Schultz's ideas unoriginal, but they already tend to receive more coverage than they "should" based on their salience with the general population, because they're the sorts of ideas held disproportionately often by rich and powerful people.

1/ Another week, another whirlwind of news surrounding Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation.

If you’re just catching up, here’s a rundown of what happened:
2/ On Monday, President Trump sent some 👀 tweets that railed against one cooperating witness (his former lawyer, Michael Cohen), while praising the “guts” of another potential witness (Roger Stone) who hasn’t cooperated with the probe. bit.ly/2BYTbcc
3/ Some background: Stone has been complaining for awhile about Mueller coming after him, in search of information about emails that Russian intelligence officers allegedly hacked from top Dems.

In a recent video, Stone insisted he had nothing on Trump. bit.ly/2B0Hn7x

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
