04:05:58 Retweeted @SethAMandel01:35:43 Surprised it needs to be said, but: the problem w/ the wrestling tweet is that is was stupid & juvenile. Not that it was literal incitement.

17:19:29 Retweeted @dangillmor15:11:12 Is anyone at CNN reflecting today on the consequences of giving Trump unlimited, unedited, free airtime to Trump in 2015-16?
20:42:26 Retweeted @timothymfrye17:26:27 Serious question. What will it take for someone in trump administration to resign in protest? And who might that person be?
18:23:32 Retweeted @normative18:15:31 Kobach knows full well states are legally unable to hand over most of the data he requested. That’s the point.
18:23:38 Retweeted @normative18:17:12 Now they can say they were unable to carry out their voter-fraud snipe hunt & darkly insinuate states are deliberately hiding it. in reply to normative

00:44:41 Retweeted @davepell00:34:41 We can overcome the damage Trump is doing.But I have no idea how we overcome the fact that 60+ million people like what they see.
02:36:22 Retweeted @JenniferJJacobs01:20:16 NEW: Trump administration will put its travel ban on refugees and migrants from 6 countries into effect at 8 p.m. ET tomorrow.

15:46:00 Retweeted @daveweigel14:40:48 If Trump doesn’t watch out, key Republicans may pronounce his comments “disappointing” before donating to his re-elect and voting for him.
17:57:39 Retweeted @chrislhayes17:05:30 Again, ten women came forward to say the president had grabbed/groped/assaulted them. The GOP shrugged and chanted “Lock her up!”
17:58:47 Retweeted @TheRealDratch14:53:25 Every time someone says the president is a child or a toddler all I can think of is I’ve never met a child who’s this much of a dick.
05:42:23 Retweeted @vmsalama03:39:32 It appears policy advisers at State were not briefed on WH Syria statement. Spoke to one senior official tonight who heard the news from me.
18:55:57 Retweeted @chrislhayes2017-06-26 22:33:20 Everyone realizes if the Senate passes this the House is gonna try to pass it untouched and forgo conference right?
21:17:45 Retweeted @TopherSpiro20:40:27 INTEL: I’m hearing McConnell wants to come to an agreement by Friday, have CBO score it over recess, then vote in mid-July.
01:21:00 Retweeted @Blatherscribe2017-06-24 17:07:55 It’s a beautiful 68F outside. Someone please tell me how to lock the thermostat there. The temperature has no business ever going above 75.

1) Not all ticks are related to Comey.
2) Fuse length remains uncertain.
3) Interesting preemptive defense of collusion happening.

19:44:48 Retweeted @MarkHarrisNYC17:51:20 I don’t care about the WH insisting on no cameras/recordings at briefings. I care about journalists who think their job is to obey.
20:27:23 Retweeted @ddale820:25:51 The CBO says the Senate bill would leave 15 million more people uninsured next year; had estimated the House bill would leave 14 million. in reply to ddale8
20:28:51 Retweeted @AP20:20:07 BREAKING: Congressional Budget Office sees 22 million more uninsured by 2026 under Senate health bill in latest hurdle for GOP.
20:30:01 Retweeted @samstein20:20:59 if your reaction to the 22m uninsured in the CBO score is — “it’s less than the House bill” — then you need to readjust your frame
