- MSNBC reporting White House sources says Trump "may not have known" the US has troops based in Qatar.
- Hang on....I thought Kavanaugh pledged to be “independent and impartial” in his WSJ op-ed on Thursday. Don’t tell me we’ve all been played.....Congratulations Judge Kavanaugh! Instead of a 6-3 liberal Supreme Court under Hillary Clinton, we now have a 5-4 conservative Supreme Court under President @realDonaldTrump, cementing a tremendous legacy for the President and a better future for America
- "Hearing smack-talk from the Frenchman 31 years his junior irritated and bewildered Trump, aides said".Not that Trump needed a nudge to exit Paris, but he got one when Macron bragged about tough-guy handshake wapo.st/2skjenm
- Replying to @SimonMarksFSNSimply stunning to see a career public servant forced to fall on his sword like this by a President of the United States. "Are you doing this voluntarily?" asks @PaulaReidCBS Fauci: "Everything I do is voluntary. Please. Don't even imply that".
- We’re witnessing tonight the start of a long, hot, dangerous summer in America. 40 million unemployed, racial tensions unresolved, guns everywhere, Covid-19 everywhere and a President uniquely unable and unwilling to heal or lead the nation.
- In one answer Biden manages to confuse Syria with Iraq, and then confuses Syria with Iran.
- Largest. Crowd. Ever.
- Biden's speech a total repudiation not just of Trump, but of the unleashing of conspiracy theories and lies that he mainstreamed in American society. Urges people to "defend the truth, defeat the lies". That is has to be articulated is a measure of the challenges ahead.
- The wheels are falling off the train. We've never seen anything like this madness before in Washington.MOMENTS AGO: Kayleigh McEnany and reporter spar over Trump mail-in voting claims. Reporter: "I just want to know where the river is." McEnany: "--and lack of journalistic curiosity." Reporter: "I'm very curious, where's the river? That's curiosity!"
00:00 - America, 2020: A land where 9 days before Election Day the White House Chief of Staff finally concedes the Trump administration is not even attempting to control the pandemic, but insists it will be defeated because "we're Americans, that's what we do".
- So Kim gets his photo op and the imprimatur of US respectability. Trump gets....an early trip back on Air Force One to face the Cohen music. Summitry is never easy. But Trump is now 0-2 and seems to have learned nothing from Singapore. Biegun, of course, will carry the can.
