    Josh is one of the best reporters around, but I didn’t want to retweet this until I checked if there was some mitigating context, and yeah, no, he just plain said he hasn’t left the White House in months, two days after his trip to Texas.

    Pelosi last night went further than she has before over Trump declaring emergency, saying he’s “threatening to grant himself extraordinary powers to steal billions of dollars from disaster-impacted communities, the military and urgent civil works projects in order build his wall”

  5. Remarkable reporting these last couple days from the Times and the Post. It's always great work, but wow. What a couple of days.

  6. I saw you the night before the election at a rally in Sioux Center, Iowa. You stood side-by-side with Steve King. You were laughing & smiling w him. A couple weeks before, King had told an Iowa TV station that he didn’t think the term “white nationalist” was a bad thing.

  8. So between NYT and WaPo, we have learned, in the past 24 hours, that Trump was the subject of an FBI counterintelligence investigation for working on behalf of Russia and that he attempted to stop U.S. officials from having a record of his conversations with Russia's president.

    There will be more black candidates for president than there are reporters and producers on this team. In this day and age, you have to try to screw up this badly.

  11. Or: maybe having powerful editorial positions awash in people from one race, class, or gender isn’t a good idea; since we get 1000% more takes on “brown lady says a curse word” than an actual white supremacist in Congress. If you won’t look the mirror, people will do it for you.

  12. Americans should demand that their President speak to the country and publicly respond to the NYT report. Senators & Representatives from both parties should demand it. He shouldn't be permitted to hide & manufacture a new crisis he can use to try to distract the country.

  13. "Are you now or have you ever worked for Russia, Mr. President?" Trump doesn't directly answer: "I think it's the most insulting thing I've ever been asked. I think it's the most insulting article I've ever had written." Via Fox

  14. America in 2019: The president, after spending the day tweeting alone in the White House, phones into a supporter’s Saturday night TV show and declines to say whether he is working on Russia’s behalf.

  17. Destruction of evidence is consciousness of guilt. At this point please show me evidence that is not working for Russia.

  20. In which he, in no way, denies or takes umbrage at the idea that he's a Russian agent, and only objects to the idea of the investigation itself....
