I left the office for 40 minutes and am ENTIRELY lost on immigration in Congress now.
Never mind, I am all caught up now: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
As long as the White House is allowing Tom Cotton to make demands on its behalf, the White House is demonstrating that it doesn't really care about making a deal. Which has always been the biggest challenge. vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Honestly, y'all, this is just a math problem. Show me a way to get 60 votes in the Senate with Cotton among the 60. It doesn't work. There are ways to get 60 votes that lose Cotton (including, possibly, the deal Sens just offered).

I have a lot of words TK between now and the speech but in the meantime, I'd like to point something out:

Donald Trump's very favorite rhetorical mode is that immigrants are coming across the border to kill you.

Heretofore IACATBTKY.

My first question with any story like this is "How new is this really?"
The answer, in this case, appears to be: mostly pretty new!
The Obama admin did a little of it but pulled back after settling an ACLU suit. It's now anecdotally "surging."
This is a REALLY well put together article, FWIW. (Even if I, being me, would love some info on how they got to that "hundreds, possibly thousands" language.) Kudos to WaPo.
BTW, while I don't fault WaPo for putting this at the end of the piece, I think it's really important for people who just see the tweet/hed getting shared a bunch of times to know:

Good morning, everyone! I’m seeing a lot of tweets about how 1,475 children “taken from their parents” were lost by HHS. That’s wrong. Most children sent to HHS—before last fall, ALL children sent to HHS—arrived in the US as unaccompanied minors.
The original story published by @nixonron in April—which some of us have been citing/talking about since then—makes clear we’re talking about 1475 of 7K kids HHS tried to contact from Oct-Dec 2017, ie who’d been placed w/sponsors before then. nytimes.com/2018/04/26/us/…
Is this relevant to their newly expanded duties to care for kids separated from parents? You bet it is. But that’s bc it’s the agency failing at its TRADITIONAL function, and now being asked to perform a new one.
