Fox & Friends aired this quote -- which actually says "could potentially attract," not "will," as the president claims -- at the top of all four hours of the program.

Left, Fox & Friends Weekend Edition, 7:03 am
Right, Trump, 10:24 am
I'm using the 7 am match because, well, this 6 am hour segment seems like a natural fit for Trump's Virginia tweet.

Right, Trump, 9:53 am
Housekeeping some of these tweets from yesterday. When Trump quotes someone like this it's usually a Fox livetweet, and McClintock was on Fox Business about 10 minutes before the tweet was sent, but said nothing like this on-air. Not sure what the deal is.

1. There's a weird phenomenon under way: Fox News is the cable news network providing the most coverage of progressive policies. (The coverage, of course, is very bad.)
2. Here's our study of prime-time coverage of the Green New Deal: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/02/1…
3. And another showing coverage of state abortion measures. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/02/0…

**goes back in time**

"Hi past Matt, in ten years you're going to be profiled by @CJR."

"Oh wow, that's great! For what?"

"You're the expert on how President Donald Trump starts his day by live-tweeting Fox & Friends."

"... wait, what?"

@CJR Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the tweets. My work is indebted to that of many others -- WH correspondents for first-hand reporting, @ddale8's twitter methods, @pbump's analyses of Trump's tweets, and folks like @swin24 @daveweigel @armandodkos who encouraged me to keep doing this.
@CJR And of course everyone at @mmfa who gave me the time and space to do all this crazy stuff.

1. Shadow chief of staff Sean Hannity gave the spending deal the green light last night. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/02/1…
2. This was a pretty major reversal. On Monday, Hannity was openly threatening any congressional Republican who dared to back the bill, leading to commentators saying he had all but vetoed it.
3. But after Trump criticized the bill but did not say he'd stop it on Tuesday, Hannity backpeddled. That afternoon and evening, he said that while the bill is "garbage," it's fine if Trump signs it and then uses other means to get more money.

#president @KRLS "No tinc xofers ni seguretat, però tinc gent que ajuda. És evident que l'Estat em considera "caça major", però no pots viure amb paranoia constant. Qui ha de viure amb por són els criminals, no nosaltres" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "Matí i nit intento parlar amb la dona i les nenes i fer els deures amb elles. Curiosament quan era a Catalunya no podia fer-ho. El dia a dia és a dins de la Casa, si no no surto" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "El Consell és un espai fora l'abast de la repressió espanyola. Això no ho paga fons públics, ni clavegueres de l'Estat ni fons reservat. Es fa igual que l'1oct. Jo ara no tinc sou. Intento gastar el mínim " #QuatreGatsTV3

1/ I'm stunned, but not surprised by AT&T's decision to extended their #Friends licensing deal with Netflix through 2019. A perfect example of, despite saying they were committed to winning in SVOD, Big Media wants to have their cake, eat it to - and then hope they get a 3rd cake
2/ #Friends is one of Netflix's most valuable titles. It's one of the most celebrated sitcoms, one of Netflix's most popular series, and has a whopping 236 episodes of tonnage - and a fervent fanbase
3/ AT&T could (and should) have simply moved #Friends to HBO, their leading SVOD asset. Imagine the impact on customer acquisition - all of a sudden the press coverage inundates all Friends fans to get HBO, if they haven't already!

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.

A story about religion. Don’t take this the wrong way. This is not an attack on the Catholic church. It’s simply a true story that communicates what is wrong with religions.
Have you read what Thomas Jefferson had to say about religion? You should. Jefferson and I would have gotten along well, because we have similar beliefs regarding Christianity and religion. (Those are two entirely different things.)
Religion is an attempt by man to impose a set of beliefs upon a gullible public. Christianity is a relationship with the Son of God. The twain shall seldom meet. That is not to say that there are not good men and women in religious positions. There are. Many.
