Things could be worse, at least we're not related to El Presidente:

'Trump’s Ancestral Village Abounds With His Relatives. Few Will Admit It.'

@KamalaHarris
As a career prosecutor, I actually went after gangs and transnational criminal organizations. That's being a leader on public safety. What is not, is ripping babies from their mothers.

Press Sec. Sanders repeatedly declines to answer whether Pres. Trump wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned, citing ongoing process of selecting Supreme Court nominee. link: abcn.ws/2MFXawQ

@tarapalmeri
More context — if Trump asks #SCOTUS candidates about Roe v Wade then when nominee is in confirmation hearings, Senate can ask if President inquired about abortion stance and if they say yes it can appear that he’s pressuring them to take a position.

@RonBrownstein
Even this answer, while revealing, doesn't fully capture Trump's shift. Other presidents have been credibly accused of ignoring/slighting areas & voters outside their base. Trump goes further by viewing those Americans as a target 2 attack in policy & rhetoric 2 mobilize his base

In response to ⁦*@MariaBartiromo*⁩,
Trump indicates he sees his responsibility as to his base, not the whole country. link: nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/07/asked-to-bring-country-together-trump-praises-my-base.html nymag.com/daily/intellig…

'Judge: Trump tweet did not declassify CIA program for Syrian rebels'

'The judge rejected arguments that Trump effectively confirmed the existence of the program when he used his Twitter account last July to counter a Washington Post story.'

'Carter’s opinion could be a hurdle for other litigants seeking to use Trump’s often undisciplined Twitter comments and other public remarks to force government agencies to release information they would normally withhold.'

The FART Act? Now c’mon, that’s a joke right? That can’t be true.

Off to google.
