May not be decisive in November, but Republicans wondering about Trump's long-term impact on party might consider this stunning finding in new Battleground (Lake/Goeas) Poll: among possible 2020 voters who have turned 18 since 2016, Biden leads 94-6. @MoElleithee
(THREAD) Today Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo unveiled the real nightmare scenario for the 2020 election—and the question of what Trump has legal authority to do has nothing to do with it. I hope you'll read on and retweet—as what I'm describing here is what America is heading for.
WALLACE: You said our children are taught in school to hate our country. Where do you see that?
TRUMP: I just look at – I look at school. I watch, I read, look at the stuff.
Prince of Qatar apparently tried to buy his way into UCLA, couldn't, so then he bought a BA in political science and MA in public diplomacy at USC. Apparently he gave profs Rolexes, and a PhD student was his "sherpa." Worth a read!
The American National Election Studies will officially not be conducted in person this year due to COVID, making time series comparisons of voting behavior more difficult
Warning - Long tweet thread coming. I'm summing up the Harvard v. DHS complaint challenging ICE in its attempt to force F-1 students to leave the US if their courses are being offered online this fall. They lawyers did a superb job. I think you'll find this interesting.
BREAKING Morrison also announces that many temporary visa holders from Hong Kong who are currently in Australia will be able to stay here for another five years. Australia will also offer them a "pathway to permanent residency"
I’ll do whatever I can to help any person that is being targeted by the white supremacist, ignorant, and self-destructive policies that are being vomited out of this administration. But I don’t want any cute solutions 2 this stupid edict to get in the way of
Conservatism, like any ideology, is an amalgam. This policy tells a lot about Trump's version of conservatism. It's not free markets. It's not even pro-business. It's punitive toward an industry and a population (non-Americans) that Trumpian conservatives don’t like.

College education is a U.S. export. Students on student visas are not taking American jobs, they are buying an American product. What the administration is doing is hurting American business.

, the agency which administers the entire US legal immigration system, is set to run out of money... and the Trump administration has yet to submit a formal request to Congress for emergency funds.
