- The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.
- This is Patricia Gaines, whose father, a liberal minister, was driven out of Selma in 1961 by Klansmen on horseback. She went back to Selma for the first time today to drive black voters to the polls.
- Asked a longtime House GOP staffer where things are headed. "This is like Reservoir Dogs. Everyone ends up dead on the floor."
- Replying to @mollyesqueMy God. Maybe the whole Trump "movement" has been an antifa false flag operation! Impressive they kept up the ruse this long.
- The Conway marriage is a perfect metaphor for the current Republican Party, split between those who see Trump as an opportunity & those who see him as a horror—and yet, somehow, they stay together.
- The GOP is in quite a pickle today. You might even call it... ...the Art of the Dill.
- One year ago today, Mike Fanone, a plainclothes narcotics officer with the DC Metropolitan Police Department, reported to work and answered the call to the Capitol. 🧵
- Trump should know better than anyone that you don't have to own something for your name to be on it, right?
- Please take some time to read my new cover profile of Officer Mike Fanone, the hero cop we don't deserve.
- These are the talking points the White House sent out to Republicans in Congress tonight: "The President was entirely correct."
- A bunch of convention cops & security guys came into the hall to listen to Michelle's speech. They stood, riveted, at the top of the stairs.
