For everyone asking, here is a thread with my current book tour dates for Rough Draft which officially comes out on Tuesday 6/14. (Less than a week!) If you want a copy right away, click here.
Wearing a “censored” mask while speaking on the house floor which is being broadcast live by multiple broadcast and cable news outlets and on the web is something something else.
Some in our media can’t contain their glee & delight in reporting that the U.S. has more
#CoronaVirus
cases than
#China
Beyond being grotesque,its bad journalism
We have NO IDEA how many cases China really has but without any doubt its significantly more than why they admit to
It will no doubt resonate that each GOP Senator starts his time by apologizing to Kavanaugh for what he is going through, while none took their time to apologize to Dr Ford what she has been through.
Fauci makes a plea to all Americans. If you get it, even inadvertently, you are part of process of infection that could badly hurt or kill someone’s grandparent or a kid with leukemia. It’s not just about you. “We can either be part of the solution or part of the problem.”
Sorry I missed my show today but .... my brother graduated from medical school today and I couldn't be a prouder older sis! Now we have a doctor in the family. A Doctor Tur. DocTur?
With all due respect, it’s odd Jordan and GOP keep harping on whistleblower when his/her allegations have been corroborated by the two men sitting in front of them - and the the other witnesses to come.
House GOP minority leader Kevin McCarthy states that if campaign finance crimes are a violation then lots of Congressmen (probably in his caucus) will have to go.
The president’s job is not to give live updates. There is law enforcement for that. The president’s job is to find a solution. Or at the very least to try to bring the country together.
The FBI, local and state law enforcement are working together in El Paso and in Dayton, Ohio. Information is rapidly being accumulated in Dayton. Much has already be learned in El Paso. Law enforcement was very rapid in both instances. Updates will be given throughout the day!
Hard to swallow Pompeo telling Americans to turn to “reliable” sources of information when this admin has spent the last 3 years tearing down reliable news outlets. Including yesterday from POTUS during this same briefing.
I thought I could understand the horror and feel the pain of what our govt was doing to these kids. Then I had my own child and I’ve realized no words are strong enough.
EXCLUSIVE: Botched reunifications left separated kids in vans overnight, one for 39 hours.
E-mail: "There has to be a better process. I hope... there can be adjustments so that we don't put tender age kids in this position."

It was weird sitting down with Donald Trump - a candidate nearly everyone called a joke - back in July 2015.
It was surreal seeing him overcome scandal after scandal to get elected in 2016.
It is depressing but not surprising watching him get impeached for abusing power.
This was not two days in the making. Not two weeks. Not two months. The violence we saw - urged by Donald Trump - has been 5 years coming. Since he announced his candidacy. No one woke up this morning and suddenly realized he was a dangerous leader. They knew.
Pete Hammill didn’t want to run Trump stories at the NYDN in the 1990s because he said they were too often Trump trying to serve as an anonymous source about himself.
A friendly reminder to everyone out there talking about Donald Trump's self professed deal making skills...
Donald Trump did not write Art of The Deal.

did.
I got up. Took a shower. Packed. Rode to JFK. Flew to DC. Got a taxi to the NBC bureau. Did my makeup. Drank a coffee. Caught up with colleagues. And I’m still waiting for

My friend’s 73 yr old mother went to the ER at Interfaith in Brooklyn at 6pm last night. She’s now been sitting in a chair in the ER for 29 hours waiting for a bed. She has a bad cough, a fever and violent chills. She calls her daughter crying pain and fear.

come out to cheer on and take a knee in support of protestors. The same people NYC has been honoring every night at 7pm now returning the support.
Trump’s doctor:
Said 72 hours into diagnosis (Trump told the public 35 hours ago)
Won’t say when his last negative test was
Was evasive on questions about oxygen
Won’t detail what heart and lung scans revealed
Won’t answer about steroids
Won’t reveal how high fever was

Nevada, a state in one of the richest countries in the world, has painted social-distancing boxes on a concrete parking lot for the homeless to sleep in.
Given that there will be a lot of people and businesses not making money in the coming weeks. Would it even be possible to suspend bills (for everything but material goods) for a month?
Rent
Mortgages
Loan payments
Car payments
Utilities

The only lies and made up stories here are coming from the President of the United States.
I could say this every day. Any accusation leveled against him he throws right back at the accuser:
In this case, he lies. A lot.
The “I’m rubber and you’re glue” strategy.
...The Fake News will knowingly lie and demean in order make the tremendous success of the Trump Administration, and me, look as bad as possible. They use non-existent sources & write stories that are total fiction. Our Country is doing so well, yet this is a sad day in America!
Mr President, I respectfully suggest you watch this. It’s Warmbier begging for his life side by side with what you said in Vietnam. Cc

I’m having a panic attack trying to figure out a baby registry. Why is there so much stuff? What is all this stuff? How can an 8 pound human need all this stuff?
I went to my first Trump rally in two years yesterday. I also went to my first Obama rally ever on Friday.
The events might as well have been held on different planets.
Trump and his campaign tried to claim he was kidding. He was not. At that same press conference, minutes later, I asked if it gave him "pause" to ask a foreign government to hack into the emails of any American citizen. He said no and then accused me of trying to "save" Clinton.
The first coronavirus case in the U.S. and South Korea was detected on the same day. By late January, Seoul had medical companies starting to work on a diagnostic test — one was approved a week later. Today, the U.S. isn’t even close to meeting test demand
Election officials are furious about this. They say it’s both voter suppression and a dangerous disregard for safety by asking people to risk their lives to vote in a pandemic when it easily could have been delayed.
It’s been unacceptable since 2015. The President’s own rhetoric causes this. His words.
What’s deeply demoralizing is how his own party hasn’t condemned him into stopping.
"W.H. Correspondents' Assoc. condemns the physical attack on our colleague at the president's rally in El Paso, TX ... this time, no one was seriously hurt. The president of the U.S. should make absolutely clear to his supporters that violence against reporters is unacceptable."
Looks like Nunes is going to focus entirely on a debunked conspiracy theory. Debunked by our own intelligence community. One Trump’s own administration officials have told me is nuts.
Mattis’ resignation letter makes it clear.
“My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues.”

MCCONNELL on the Senate floor just now: “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.”
Rod J. Rosenstein went even further...telling the five prosecutors that it did not matter how young the children were. He said that government lawyers should not have refused to prosecute two cases simply because the children were barely more than infants.

Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad!
