From #gregsargent @newrepublic What’s really going on here is this: Trump is looking to defuse anger among congressional Democrats for purposes that don’t portend a meaningful shift. An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.
The problem for the White House, Punchbowl reports, is that if Democrats successfully renegotiate new measures, the House might have to pass a new package—...and Republicans doubt that’s possible. So the show of de-escalation is about making it easier for Senate Democrats to support appropriations bills that don’t require another vote in the House.
If anything, this should stiffen the resolve of Senate Democrats to demand major restrictions on ICE at a minimum. As Bill Kristol notes, Trumpworld is showing weakness—so it’s time to “increase the pressure.”

#GregSargent on the #NYT's failure to engage in
"a serious reevaluation of the conventions of political reporting @ big news organizations—the daily editorial choices that subtly shape how readers receive info. & ideas—& the ways they unmistakably obscure the true nature of that threat. Does the casual reader regularly come away from most Times coverage grasping that core difference btw. Trump & Biden, that one fundamentally threatens the system, & the other doesn’t?" -

George Conway on Greg Sargent pod The Daily Blast has a suggestion how to interview tfg (at about 30:00).
Interviewer and tfg sit facing each other. Between them is a large screen with the question, such as “here’s your Memorial Day message. ‘Happy Memorial Day, including all the human scum.’ Who are you referring to there sir? Who are the human scum? Why are they scum?” Make the crazy man dig a hole.

@GottaLaff. Thank you for posting this must-read article by #GregSargent. I always thought his pieces for the #WashingtonPost were standouts. His incisive coverage has, by and large, been replaced by journalistic gruel.
