Hurricane #Barry is making landfall in central Louisiana. The potential for flooding remains the most severe expected impact. Some of the heaviest rains have yet to move onshore, but that will happen later today/tonight. Winds as high as 75 mph are occurring near the coastline. pic.twitter.com/c3VcGe9uIw

As Trump repeatedly hinted in recent days he might sign an executive order adding a citizenship Q to the census, the Justice Dept was reluctant, seeing it as impractical. Yesterday, Barr met w/Trump in the Oval and officially told him it was a no-go. https://t.co/Xw4Q9RM4ow

Here’s a take on the census saga that zeros in well on the silver lining but that may be premature in celebrating the outcome:

Too many immigrants have been spooked into the shadows. And sinister hints about future threats were dropped by henchman Barr.https://t.co/prDl6ZF7xZ

— Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ (@tribelaw) July 12, 2019

If citizenship is used instead of population, the number of House members and electoral votes for states like Texas and California would shrink, and states with fewer immigrants would benefit.

As a GOP mapmaker put it, "advantageous for Republicans and non-Hispanic whites." https://t.co/JB897JGMKC

— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) July 11, 2019

Scary subtext of the Rose Garden fiasco: Trump & Barr may try to get State Legislatures to draw congressional district lines by counting CITIZENS ONLY, rather than by counting ALL PERSONS. And they’ll use sources other than the CENSUS to do the data mining. Ominous.
