Trump just made history, many ways. First president to preside over a govt shutdown while his party controls the House, Senate and White House AND first president to preside over a shutdown on the first anniversary of his inauguration AND earliest shutdown ever in a presidency.

Wow. Navarro just ran his oppo dump against Dr Fauci as an op-ed. In 10 yrs covering politics, I’ve never seen a senior WH official publish a broadside like this against a colleague. Where’s Meadows? This is what WH Chiefs of Staff are hired to prevent.

The Failing New York Times purposely wrote a false story stating that I am unhappy with my legal team on the Russia case and am going to add another lawyer to help out. Wrong. I am VERY happy with my lawyers, John Dowd, Ty Cobb and Jay Sekulow. They are doing a great job and.....

Mike Pence just publicly congratulated Martha McSally for winning the #AZSen GOP primary. None of the ballot counts have been announced in that race. Pence deleted the tweet, but here it is. NYT live results showed 0% of AZ precincts reporting when he sent it.

Trump's lawyers called the New York Times this morning to underscore that Trump's Sessions tweet was not an order, @nytmike tells MSNBC. So clearly that's what Trump's lawyers knew that it sounded like, as well.

Specifically, I've been told Trump doesn't respect their hours & shifts, and expects agents to fetch things for him. Both damaging morale.

Just watched Wacky Tom Steyer, who I have not seen in action before, be interviewed by @jaketapper . He comes off as a crazed & stumbling lunatic who should be running out of money pretty soon. As bad as their field is, if he is running for President, the Dems will eat him alive!

The White House is using its official "dot gov" government Twitter account to attack a decorated Army officer who is obeying a subpoena to testify before the US Congress. This seems like a questionable use of taxpayer dollars.
