For the past week I've been thinking that there's too much media attention surrounding the House GOP, and not enough attention on the Senate. I'm clearly far from the only person thinking this way... mailchi.mp/cnn/rs-oct-29-…
"This is McConnell's moment," Laura Ingraham said Tuesday. She pressured the Senate Majority Leader to defend Trump -- and she said she hoped he was listening. He needs to stand up to "the Democrats' political reign of terror..." cnn.com/2019/10/29/med…
I was struck by @IngrahamAngle's message to McConnell last night. "He needs to show the American people that the GOP stands united" behind Trump, she said. Is she worried about his relative silence re: Ukraine scandal?

The NYT is out with a huge new feature about Trump and Twitter.

One part looks "inside the alternate reality of President Trump’s Twitter account, where he absorbs and amplifies a noxious stream of disinformation."

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
The NYT's analysis of 11,390 Trump tweets since inauguration day found that "more than half of the president's posts — 5,889 — have been attacks; no other category even comes close." 1,308 tweets attacked news organizations.

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
There's so, so much detail in these new NYT stories. "While many of Mr. Trump's tweets are shoot-from-the-hip attacks, he chews over others for days or even weeks, waiting for just the right moment to maximize the reaction, aides say..."

Wow, another major departure from the newsroom at Fox News: Catherine Herridge, who's been with Fox since it launched in 1996, is joining @CBSNews as a Senior Investigative Correspondent
Per CBS, here is Herridge's statement: "CBS News has always placed a premium on enterprise journalism and powerful investigations. I feel privileged to join a team where facts and storytelling will always matter."
Details of Catherine Herridge's exit: Her Fox contract expired over the summer. Fox wanted her to renew, but knew her exit was a possibility. She was already in talks with CBS before Shep Smith resigned three weeks ago. cnn.com/2019/10/31/med…

@TheWeek "Here are four odd details from Wednesday's bizarre circus:

1. A third of the occupiers had the right to be in the room already
Despite Republican complaints that this is a secret partisan inquiry, 48 Republicans and 59 Democrats are on the the..."
@TheWeek "...three committees allowed to attend and participate in the impeachment depositions — including 13 of the Republicans who "stormed" the SCIF, by journalist Marcy Wheeler's count."

1. Really happy that our recent @GLAN_LAW lawsuit against Italy gained so much media attention. This suggests that it will clearly generate discussion on border "externalization" practices -- in the central med, and more broadly.
2. However, it is also clear that political challenges abound. To name just one example from the coverage, note the title of the @washingtonpost piece: "Migrants Accuse Italy of Responsibility for Libyan Abuses"
3. In a few words, @washingtonpost expresses the view that the abuses are ultimately *Libyan*. It is of course true that those doing the torture, rape, and other physical violence are typically not Italians. But stopping there merely reflects prejudice of enormous dimensions.

⁉️WHAT⁉️

House #GOP investigating contact btwn FBI General Counsel James Baker & reporter @DavidCornDC who 1st broke the #SteeleDossier story.🤬

Baker ALSO believed to be one of the FBI officials w/whom @Comey shared details of his Trump meetings.🤨

politi.co/2zhVlio
Three FBI officials — Andrew McCabe, Jim Rybicki & James Baker — previously ID’d as being able to corroborate Trump's loyalty pledge to @Comey before he was fired.🤨

Now, they’re ALL being *attacked* by Republicans‼️🤬

#TrumpRussia🇷🇺

vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Baker was reassigned w/in the FBI, but the reason was unclear.🤨

Corn DENIES that Baker was a source: "I'm not going to discuss my sources. But in order to prevent the dissemination of inaccurate information, I will say that James Baker was not my source for this story.”🤔
