If you look at the FBI/DEA/ATF/ICE budgets as a whole, ICE is over half the total spending. But if you had a consolidated federal police agency I don’t think people would feel that interior immigration enforcement should consume the majority of its resources. — PolitiTweet.org

Having a special DEA to enforce drug laws rather than a broad-purpose police agency that faces tradeoffs about priorities seems to create bad bureaucratic incentives where people have their whole life and career and identity invested in hyping up a particular problem. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Rather than defunding the FBI like these rightists want, I think we should consider getting rid of narrow-purpose agencies like DEA, ATF, and ICE and building a more comprehensive federal law enforcement agency. https://t.co/8rCgPDUD8H — PolitiTweet.org

Lady working at Rita’s Famous Tacos in Ingram asked me this over the weekend when she saw my credit card, so I told her she was perpetuating white supremacy and the myth of the perpetual foreigner. She thanked me for the call in and vowed to educate herself in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta say I am often asked this question by working class Hispanic people who are curious about my last name or my blond son Jose. Among people who haven’t read the right articles on the internet, it’s a normal way of asking about someone’s family background. — PolitiTweet.org

No matter how sweetly you ask it, “Where are you from?” is not a polite question.

@ciphergoth @mrmike772 I like that aspect of it; at the end of the day it’s a human story not like these MCU movies where everything is about The Fate Of The Multiverse. — PolitiTweet.org

@markmoskvit I’ve had the same change of heart, he can’t tell if Raiders has actually aged better than Star Wars judged as individual works or just that Star Wars has been so much more diluted by brand extension. — PolitiTweet.org

@glukianoff I think the over-generalization from the radio case (which I think has a lot to do with the specifics of how that industry works) is a great point. — PolitiTweet.org

@nilocobau I saw Blade Runner on the big screen when The Final Cut came out in 2007 — the immersive sound of a theater was really cool though potentially could be replicated at home. — PolitiTweet.org

I guess to put some kind of spicy gloss on this, I think the very best things tend to be underrated because people are motivated to praise lesser stuff to seem more interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

When “The Last Crusade” came out in 1989, they put Raiders in the revival houses (remember those?) and my grandfather took me to see it on the big screen. Would definitely go again if they want to bring it back to theaters. — PolitiTweet.org

I never got around to figuring out exactly what declaring a climate emergency would accomplish and then IRA came together so I guess I don’t need to. https://t.co/r1PDWCuWzn — PolitiTweet.org

The climate policy world has moved beyond carbon pricing, but it’s still very good *as tax policy* — if you’re going to have revenue, it’s good to raise it in ways that internalize important externalities. https://t.co/FiDRQBK93D https://t.co/xqTAVJegSU — PolitiTweet.org

@jbarro @JimPethokoukis @jonathanchait It’s pretty typical for issues to be low-polarization when they first hit the agenda and become polarized over time as salience increases (see abortion). Recommend @DKarol’s book on the specifics of the environmental case. https://t.co/kBL1KHpQNM — PolitiTweet.org

Note that lots of non-criminals served in the Trump administration, presumably due to broad alignment with Trump on policy questions, but whenever someone like that breaks with Trump over his clowning or crimes that person is denounced as a traitor to the movement. — PolitiTweet.org
