.@ainsleyearhardt: "What do you think about this lack of civility? Is it worth it, Sarah?"

.@PressSec: "I think we can disagree in a way that's much nicer...it's a sad day when Democrats' only message is 1 of intolerance...attacking people that support this POTUS & this country"
.@SteveDoocy: "I was wondering, since you were asked to leave the Red Hen, have you gone to another restaurant anywhere?

SANDERS: "I've been to one. It went fine." (LOL)
Sanders' @foxandfriends interview contained 0 questions about family separation, Trump's border policy, Russia, or really any other substantive issue. Instead she was asked about "civility" and her dining habits. #HardHittingJournalism

TRUMP: "I don't think we have ever seen unity like this in the Republican Party. The media, which I call the opposition party, in coordination with the Democrats, they are not talking about the Democrats folding... I don't think there will be any break away [among Republicans]."
TRUMP: "I'm a professional at technology."
TRUMP: "When during the campaign I would say Mexico is going to pay for [the wall], obviously I never meant they are going to write out a check. I said they are are going to pay for it. They are. They are paying for it w/the incredible [unapproved] deal we made called the USMCA."

TRUMP: "We are having some very good times in our country. We are doing very well, except for the border... Something will happen [to end the shutdown], I hope. Otherwise, we will go about in a different manner. I don't think we will have to do, but you never know."
Trump offer gore porn: "Human trafficking. It really hits a nerve, talking about, in many cases, women & children grabbed, thrown into backseat of a car or thrown into a van, w/no windows, no form of air. Tape put across their mouths, and they are brought across the border."
TRUMP: "Human trafficking cannot be stopped if we don't have a steel barrier or a concrete wall, something very powerful. It cannot be stopped...It doesn't mean a thing if they're going to be driving women & children through sections of border where nobody is, where you can't be"

TRUMP: "Every day CBP agents encounter 1000s of illegal immigrants trying to enter our country. We are out of space to hold them... Among those hardest hit are African-Americans & Hispanic Americans... Over the years 1000s of Americans have been brutally killed by [immigrants]."
TRUMP: "1 in 3 women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico. Women and children are the biggest victims by far our broken system. This is the tragic reality of illegal immigration."

He then lies & says there has been a "sharp rise" in illegal immigration.
TRUMP: "Law enforcement professionals have requested $5.7b for a physical barrier. At the request of Democrats, it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall... The federal government remains shut down [because] Democrats will not fund border security."

Today has been a very bad day for #The5Million. I had prepared myself for defending #FreedomOfMovement against @theresa_may. Turns out I should also have prepared myself for defending it against @HackneyAbbott who chose to pit EU citizens against other immigrants today. 1/
Earlier today I tweeted that I consider doing this - pit people against people -the lowest of the low. I expected it from @theresa_may and @sajidjavid, but I did not see coming that @HackneyAbbott would choose to do so too. This is always wrong, but especially in this case. 2/
Because:
1) It neglects the fact that freedom of movement is a *reciprocal* right, not preferential access, not a one-way street into the UK.
2) It is in the UK Govt's choice to treat immigrants from elsewhere in the way they are being treated - that is not a result of FoM. 3/

This is a George Soros attempt to hobble the court system, inundate our infrastructure and decimate any laws we have on reasonable access to this country. It will mean that some of these men determined to collect payment for invading this country will die. The troops will not be
2/ leaving a fluid situation soon, with three more caravans of hardened criminals behind them this is a threat to our citizens & our homeland, @POTUS It never was about claiming asylum, it was about Soros proving he can destroy America easily by using these people as a human
3/ battering ram to gain entry. He has no interest in these caravans other than what they can do for him: create Open Borders & eliminate the sovereignty of the United States. This is one of the first articles to include WHAT is trying to get in: an army of criminals, pillaging &

#Civility, in the age of Trump, looks like a stolen Supreme Court nomination.
Civility is putting your hands up and getting shot.
Civility is being nice to people who created internment camps for children.
Civility is useless in the face of hate and fascism.
Civility, in the context of today’s finger-wagging by Dem leaders, is thinking that taking the moral high ground is some kind of victory.
IT’S NOT.
Fascists use your morals and guilt to lull you into ineffective action or inaction.
Dem leaders are begging for civility because they want to stay in power as much as the GOP. They don’t want anyone to rock the boat, and they’re too blind to see that it’s already sinking.

Brexit, all that’s happened since June 2016, has no benefits. But after #PeoplesVoteMarch let me say that I consider it my privilege to have been able to meet so many amazing people because of Brexit. They are what keeps me going. All of you are. Together we can #StopBrexit 1/
So here’s a little walk down memory lane, as it were ... told through some events, activities ... and wonderful people. 2/
24 June 2016 ... it was a sad day. But still the message is unchanged ❤️ 3/

Despite big wins on election day for #Democrats, a small group of people continue to argue for major changes to the party through the Dem Unity Commission. Some proposed changes are getting rid of superdelegates and more caucuses. Let's discuss what these changes could mean /1
One proposed change is to remove super delegates from the primary nominating process for president. Supers are mostly elected representatives and major party members who can vote for whomever they want at the convention /2 dailykos.com/stories/2008/2…
Super delegates have never overturned the popular vote but do provided a fail-safe option in case the party needs them (Trump anyone?). They also help diversity in delegates because people dont need to compete w/ elected reps to go to the convention /3
