@DohaDebates Amazing Debate and production values, @DohaDebates ; I only wish for a bit of structure to allow both sides to speak. Stability and structure benefit everyone. #dearworld what is best not only for the refugees but for the people and countries they leave behind? #debate #Refugees

@EGBewkes @NRO

[John Riley @johnrileywrites]

@NRO @xan_desanctis Always a refreshing take.

[John Riley @johnrileywrites]

@NRO @JohnsonHildy Call me mad—I think this will actually be good for our country. In fact, both of them have agreed to testify.

@RadioFreeTom Wow, testament to the toxicity of this issue that even you are walking back common sense takes.

#Sweden's anti-immgration shift is nationalist? or a sign of larger movements sweeping the world. https://t.co/0qFMc4dlPU #China #sthimtech #ForeignAffairs #comtech

Commentators increasingly attribute "nationalism" to movements galvanized by transnational influences, including digital media. New piece available for free https://t.co/0qFMc4dlPU. #immigration #right #farright #nationalism

What makes more sense, an administration official's possible motives for publishing the @nytimes Op-Ed, or its context in the wider outsider cum Deep State narrative? @SethAMandel @nytdavidbrooks The administration seems likely to have directed the source. https://t.co/Y45jVGqjvx

[John Riley @johnrileywrites]

@RadioFreeTom @SethAMandel Trump or someone close would ask him to do it.

[John Riley @johnrileywrites]

@RadioFreeTom @SethAMandel This is not too imaginative a campaign tactic. Nothing consolidates solidarity and support like aggression. The facile, three-paragraph Op-Ed looks an awful lot like a "straw man." Plus, even if the guy were mid-level, he would know how this would play. https://t.co/Y45jVGqjvx

[John Riley @johnrileywrites]

@SethAMandel Totally agree. https://t.co/Y45jVGqjvx

[John Riley @johnrileywrites]

@washingtonpost Just like the "Anonymous Source" high-level, dirty campaign tactics looking to play big role in the coming mid-terms https://t.co/Y45jVGqjvx

[John Riley @johnrileywrites]

@dandrezner Trump's anonymous source is his own. https://t.co/Y45jVGqjvx

[John Riley @johnrileywrites]

The @nytimes "Anonymous Source" is a Trump plant. https://t.co/Y45jVGqjvx There is no administration official with the motive or political daftness to publish a facile opposition paper in national news.

Yesterday's rout of coffee futures seems to validate an article I wrote. https://t.co/2RV5jA5xoc #futures #short

44 million people: help, we are 1.4 trillion dollars deep in student loan debt

the US government: hmm actually... that seems normal

44 million people:

the US government: we also think that it is good, as well as normal, and should stay that way
