Perhaps the most surreal day in my nearly 4 years at WH. By midday it was like Iran doesn’t even exist. Senior WH aides didn’t even show up. No official statement about aborted strike or Iran policy. Congressional picnic on South Lawn, playing Journey.

From CBS' Pat Milton: Steve Bannon was taken into custody today by US Postal Service agents. He's expected to be arraigned today before a US magistrate. @SDNYnews alleges he had a role in defrauding donors as part of an online crowdfunding campaign known as “We Build the Wall”

FACT CHECK: The El Paso County Coliseum has a max capacity of 5,250. Not 35,000 as POTUS just said his crowd is tonight.

.@Acosta to @realDonaldTrump: "Haven't you spread a lot of fake news yourself, sir?," after Trump called him "fake news" and pointed at JA.

The terrorist came into our country through what is called the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.

Let’s be clear about today: A WH preaching distancing called the pool to the WH then didn’t do any events, putting journalists at risk.

POTUS now on stage talking about a 12-year-old’s “muscle tone”. What in the ever living hell is happening tonight?
