Kremlin trolls love Trump, his chaos and his wall. Russian influence twitter is now pushing "GoFundTheWall" & "BuildTheWall" hashtags to boost Trump. Think about that.

“I’ll let a dictator slaughter our allies because he promised he’d defeat the group I bragged about having already defeated.”

This is the kind of behavior that leads to military coups in other countries. https://t.co/gAPCa4QZh7

The reason Trump’s shutdown narrative won’t succeed:

His own party isn’t keeping its mouth shut. In the old days, they’d stay silent while Trump manipulated the media.

Not so much anymore. https://t.co/8A3lRy2Yg1

I agree with Republican Senator Bob Corker.

A lot of Americans are being hurt by the vanity of @realDonaldTrump that is the root cause of the #TrumpShutdown. https://t.co/5auyi0Zk17

The Trump Cycle 1) Trump campaigns on anti-Establishment principles (on eg Syria, Wall); 2) Establishment types Trump's appointed jam him into jettisoning his principles; 3) They rush out & tell world 4) Trump rebels & reasserts principles; 5) MSM accuses him of being "mercurial" https://t.co/9dQ8hbsvZr

The most salient thing about this incident to me never makes it to the top of the page, that the Metropolitan Republican Club (a “bastion of establishment conservatism”) invited this violent hate group into its UES townhouse to watch a re-enactment of an assassination. https://t.co/H0LN4GJFKS

I've been working on this NYT project for months: Many of the deadliest mass shootings in the US were carried out by killers who used credit cards to buy high-powered weapons+ammunition that they couldn’t otherwise afford.

Facebook’s seemingly unrestrained sharing of user data is the privacy equivalent of the BP oil spill. Ongoing, uncontained, & toxic. We will be paying the price for decades.
