Trump lies when he said ICE liberated towns from MS-13

He started saying that the day he hired Kelly last year and never stopped https://t.co/35ygaQCmSE

Exactly! I am from Long Island and Trump always makes it sound like we are being controlled by MS-13 and that they are teeming in the streets. Just not true. It’s fear mongering at its absolute worst

Trump is indifferent to the arts

The column states: “Never have we had a president not just indifferent to the arts, but actively oppositional to artists. Mr. Trump disparaged the play “Hamilton” and a few weeks later attacked Meryl Streep.”

update:

For having so much money and access to the best educations, it's amazing that the Trumps have *zero* interest in culture: Do they speak other languages, play music, appreciate the arts, travel to learn? Nope, they spend $ on tacky decor and trophy hunt endangered animals. 🙄 https://t.co/whZeto92o5

Zero tolerance is a mistake

This blanket zero tolerance policy to treat everyone who crosses the border as a criminal is a colossal mistake. https://t.co/GSB7Ne8sC7

Democrats underestimated Trump

“Democrats badly underestimated Trump’ according to this column.

He’s right. I don’t agree with Trump but he has done a lot to change the country. It’s going to take a long time to undo the damage once we get a Democratic president and congress. I didn’t anticipate that Congressional Republicans would fold and meekly go along with Trump. They’re afraid to cross him. They won’t even call him out on lies and bigotry most of the time.

Trump administration lies about the deficit

The deficit is increasing. The Trump tax law generates less tax revenue. Just another Trump administration lie.

Larry Kudlow says the deficit is “coming down rapidly,” contradicting virtually all available data.

Deficit Jan to April 2018 = $161 billion
Deficit Jan to April 2017 = $135 billion https://t.co/HQoLDSdODU @JStein_WaPo

But Hassett was also lying, claiming that the deficit surge was because of spending; actually it's because revenue, especially corporate taxes, has plunged 1/ https://t.co/zEuAOZ5r7x

My friend @larry_kudlow is lying. https://t.co/nti7otXX4W

Kudlow said deficit is “coming down rapidly.”

A couple days prior, fellow White House adviser Kevin Hassett said the deficit was “skyrocketing.” https://t.co/5owOE0vJ45

Kudlow to FBN: "The deficit…is coming down. And it’s coming down rapidly."

This isn't accurate.

On a 12-month basis, the deficit as a share of GDP rose to 3.8% in May from 3.2% one year earlier. pic.twitter.com/2JhiPRyKX1

Current debt-to-GDP level = 78% (highest since 1950)
CBO projection for 2028 = 96%
By 2034, America's debt-to-GDP could surpass the peak of 106% recorded in 1946https://t.co/u2n41Dp7AC by @JStein_WaPo pic.twitter.com/E4qn7Jil8C

Kudlow says the rising deficit is falling, Mnuchin says tax cuts pay for themselves as Treasury boosts debt sales, Hassett defends tariffs but won’t show his study that shows they will blunt economic growth. https://t.co/f10IiqbyA8

Trump says he won’t ask Supreme Court candidates about Roe v. Wade

He doesn’t have to. He has a list of vetted candidates and I’m sure they wouldn’t be on the list if they were not anti-abortion.

No one who has survived in politics as long as Susan Collins has is actually this naive. https://t.co/r42WvhdbPa

— Susan Hennessey (@Susan_Hennessey) July 1, 2018

Tapper: Dont you think Neil Gorsuch, whom you voted for, will probably vote to overturn Roe?
Collins: "I actually don't."
This proves how flimsy Collins' pro-Roe position is. She is perfectly happy to let herself be suckered based on phony assurances about "precedent"

— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) July 1, 2018

Trump basically signals he will appoint a judge who could overturn Roe v. Wade, even as he says he may not directly ask the question because people told him he shouldn’t. pic.twitter.com/UbOC8SeLII

— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) July 1, 2018

The logic @SenatorCollins used to Tapper to create a framework for eventually supporting Trump’s pick defied credulity. But can Ds create enough 2020 threat to move her from that position, as logically incoherent (Roberts/Gorsuch are friends of #Roe?) as it was? https://t.co/F74VP3hvUM

To be clearer here after a reader email – they’ve addressed their views on constitutionality of Roe v Wade previously. There is a school of thought among some senior Rs that for Kavanaugh it’s a lesser issue. But as for how they view the law,’they’ve all stated it. https://t.co/C1lmr05BgV

Great story. Reporters initially assumed the spike was about phones or texting, found it's about Americans' love for SUVs https://t.co/zrBWH3RBYF
