The White House thought it was a punishment to send migrants to cities that not only have heavy immigrant populations but also passed laws to provide immigrants some modicum of protection. wapo.st/2UfxGK6
Again: Beyond infrastructure requirements, this is a weird "threat." wapo.st/2UfxGK6
Sanctuary cities have an immigrant density that's 6 percentage points higher on average than the U.S. on the whole! They've passed laws to make immigrants feel safe! wapo.st/2UfxGK6

This Barr presser seems mostly like an opportunity to offer up quotes that can be used in news stories. Why not let the report speak for itself?
He's explicitly denied "collusion" between the campaign and the Internet Research Agency and the GRU efforts.
Now Barr is explicitly offering context for why Trump might have acted in ways that seemed like obstruction.

It was interesting to watch Bernie Sanders easily sidestep Fox News anchors' efforts to trip him up -- and fascinating to see how quickly the network machinery repaired the damage. wapo.st/2KHEBfG
Since it apparently doesn't go without saying: It's good for journalists to challenge candidates and try to find weaknesses in their arguments.

The questions Sanders faced, though, largely centered on a line of reasoning that he was able to handle fairly easily.
A battery of questions about why Sanders targets the rich if he's a millionaire is not going to knock Sanders for a loop.

And if, when Sanders suggests that you ask Trump about his taxes, you invite Trump's daughter-in-law on to laughingly wave it away, that's not great either.

This was always something that seemed like it was looming.
Weirdly, on CNN right now is not this but instead the 2,000th interview with Howard Schultz.
"we have a killer scoop getting at the heart of trump's relationship with the limits of executive authority"
"ok great but first things first"

Former Treasury Sec @LHSummers: For Mnuchin to decide whether to release Trump's tax return to Congress would be inappropriate & probably illegal. Mnuchin’s duty is clear – to tell the IRS chief to comply with the law & release Trump's tax returns.
#Maddow wapo.st/2FYvgug?tid=ss…
NEW: During today's Congressional hearing, Mnuchin testified that Trump's White House lawyers consulted Treasury Department lawyers regarding the potential release of Trump's tax returns, despite laws meant to limit political involvement.
@Lawrence #Maddow wapo.st/2G3Hq4Z?tid=ss…
Under questioning from @RepMikeQuigley, Trump's IRS commissioner Charles Rettig won't say whether the decision to release Trump's taxes is his or Treasury Sec Mnuchin's [under a longstanding delegation, it's HIS decision, not Mnuchin's].

1/Since Trump's demand for his Wall is in the headlines, I thought it would be a good time for a thread about a history book I just read:

"Dividing Lines: The Politics of Immigration Control in America", by Daniel Tichenor (2002)

amazon.com/Dividing-Lines…
2/The book starts out with a chapter or two of dense, unnecessary political science jargon, saying that - essentially - U.S. immigration policy tends to move very slowly, because powerful politicians and officials resist the tide of public opinion.
3/But most of the book is an extremely readable, eye-opening history of U.S. immigration policy, from the founding through the 1990s.

It shows how the immigration debates we're now having have been with us, in some form or another, for a very long time.

Bidders linked to rescue groups nationwide have spent millions of dollars to buy dogs and puppies at commercial auctions from the same breeders they decry as inhumane. wapo.st/2v5xw0H
Many rescuers are then offering the dogs for adoption as “rescued” or “saved”—including dogs they bought from breeders on the Humane Society’s “Horrible Hundred Puppy Mills” list, according to a Washington Post investigation. bit.ly/2INqyzr
Years ago, rescuers attended auctions to buy surplus dogs, auction participants say. But the success of the rescue movement in reducing shelter populations, some rescuers say, has been driving rescuers to the auction market. wapo.st/2ILKcLY
