 “Former President Donald Trump said in a recent interview that undocumented immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country,” using language that is often employed by White supremacists and nativists “ https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/06/politics/trump-anti-immigrant-comments 
 GOP Sen says the obvious: “Democrats aren’t going to simply take whatever the House sends us unless it’s a program that the Dems think is a reasonable compromise. So let’s see if we can cut to the chase, find something that is reasonable” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/29/house-long-term-spending-bills/ 
 @cbd065fa asked the GOP contenders what they thought of Trump's indication that Gen. Milley should be executed. Almost none of them would respond. Any wonder Trump openly mocks that they are only really running for jobs w/him? He's taken their measure https://politi.co/3PRQEXf 
 This phrase really could just run on repeat: “Speaker Kevin McCarthy …bowed to resistance from his most conservative members “ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/14/us/politics/mccarthy-pulls-back-pentagon-spending-bill.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare 
 @Council of Economic Advisers notes real wages & disposable income are rising in 23 after real median income fell in 22. As @Jason Furman told me, workers are now regaining ground-but climbing out of a deep hole. Will enough feel gains by 24 to reverse Biden's poor grades on economy?
