NEW: Asked again if he is going to delay the #2020Census, President Trump tells reporters at the White House: "We're looking at that very strongly."

"You go through all this detail, and you're not allowed to ask whether or not somebody is a citizen?"

From my rough transcript👇
2. Asked why it's so important for a #CitizenshipQuestion to be on the #2020Census, President Trump said: "I think it's very important to find out if somebody's a citizen as opposed to an illegal."
3. The #CitizenshipQuestion the Trump administration tried to get on the #2020Census DOES NOT ask about immigration status. Noncitizens living in the U.S. would not have to identify themselves as green card holders or unauthorized immigrants -- just "No, not a U.S. citizen"👇

THREAD: What should we make of Trump’s firing of Jeff Sessions?
1/ Today Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The letter above is written as a “resignation” by Sessions, but it makes clear in the first line that Sessions resigned at Trump’s request.

This has been rumored for months, so it doesn’t come as a surprise.
2/ The most immediate consequence of this firing is that Matthew Whitaker is now the Acting Attorney General. (Trump was able to appoint an Acting AG partly because Sessions agreed to resign rather than to be formally fired.)

1. The Trump/Alfa Bank server connection during the campaign wasn't random.
2. Trump and the GOP just appointed Brian Benczkowski, a lawyer who worked for Alfa Bank, to lead the DOJ's criminal division, and he refuses to recuse himself.
What the hell is going on here?
3. Must-read Filkins's New Yorker piece linked above. The Trump/Russia link is striking, and DeVos and Erik Prince are also implicated.
“And we thought, Why the hell is a Russian bank communicating with a server that belongs to the Trump Organization, and at such a rate?”...
4. Also a damning indictment of the @nytimes for running the headline "Investigating Donald Trump, FBI Sees No Clear Link to Russia” on eve of election, downplaying Alfa Bank links.
Lichtblau: “We were saying that the investigation was basically over—and it was just beginning,”

Trump is beating up on Amazon, but the giant is probably going to benefit from a recent Trump decision. The admin filed a brief w/ SCOTUS requesting it reverse a 1992 ruling that barred states from collecting online sales tax. That's going to hurt small biz, help Amazon. THREAD.
1. Toys “R” Us is going out of business at a time when other chains are downsizing or liquidating. States are understandably starting to panic—as retailers die and shoppers move online, sales tax revenue goes with them.
2. States are pushing back by trying to get the Supreme Court to overturn a decades-old ruling that prevents them from collecting sales tax on online retailers with no physical presence in the state.

Remember the Feb 28 “unity” dinner between AG Jeff Sessions, Deputy AG Director Rod Rosenstein, and Inspector General, Noel Francisco? In light of #McCabe’s firing - this gets a second look.

1/
axios.com/scoop-jeff-ses…
The dinner made headlines for 2 reasons: for appearing to show the top 3 DOJ official in an open display of unity against Trump and because it occurred on the same day as Trump tweeted an “attack” against Jeff Sessions

2/
This followed a previous Trump tweet in another “attack” on Sessions a few days earlier - appearing to blame Sessions for the ongoing investigations into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 election.
