Money promised in 2017

Whereas Flint doesn’t have clean drinking water, Puerto Rico hasn’t fully recovered, and 3 black churches burned to the ground without comment, Trump offers money to rebuild Notre Dame. That’s not America first. That’s white people first, even if they live in far away countries.

Trump lies about the New York Times

He lies when he says they apologized. He lies when he says they are failing. Sad!

Once again, never apologized, never had a reason to, subscribers way up. https://t.co/v2lQ91uqWg

This extemporaneous Trump speech, including the usual Thing-That-Didn't-Happen (the NYT didn't apologize for anything) just confirms that we're in a state of political crisis and we're likely to be there for a while.

Trump lies about 9/11

Trump distorted what Omar said about 9/11. He has a long history of lying about 9/11. Sad!

Trump also has trouble keeping his facts straight about 9/11. @maggieNYT & I wrote about how he has described the attacks happening while people were having dinner; another time, he said it was while people were having lunch. https://t.co/VtltyycHTj

Trump only cares about his base

He has no interest in being president of the entire country. His election strategy is focused on turning out his base instead of increasing his appeal. A recent poll showed that the Barr letter changed nothing.

"The old-fashioned idea that a president, once reaching office, should at least pretend to be the leader of all the people these days seems so, well, old-fashioned. Mr. Trump does not bother with the pretense." — @peterbakernyt on Trump's base obsession https://t.co/mfEKbBK1xY

Epstein update 4/16/19

This guy knows Trump and Bill Clinton. One of his accusers has sued Dershowitz and Trump Cabinet Secretary Acosta was lenient with him when he was a prosecutor.

Barr misrepresented a report before

I don’t expect him to give us an objective, complete version of the Mueller report. He has misled Congress before concerning an earlier report.

When he was earlier at DOJ, Barr wrote a summary of a redacted document. Turns out, he omitted and mischaracterized key facts.

The truth came out because Congress demanded to see the complete document.

We must accept nothing less.

History does have a way of repeating itself. https://t.co/pAioce4lQB

Great thread on Trump and Russia

Maybe it’s not illegal but it’s still wrong and alarming. Why does he take Russia’s side?

This thread lays out what so many of us who understand Russian affairs have been saying: Mueller's inability to prove a specific charge about the 2016 election is not even remotely an indication of the degree to which the President and his circle are likely compromised by Russia. https://t.co/ZP0MnDkF9E
