In about five minutes DOJ is scheduled to start a briefing on “a matter of national security,” which could be anything from plans to deal with ISIS detainees to, you know, a major intervention in the political process.
They’ve set up a livestream here. https://t.co/tafgUT4bU9
It is in fact the ISIS detainees; DOJ announcing indictments of members of the ISIS hostage taking call that became known as The Beatles.

This is a good thread and it’s right; making $400k per year objectively relieves you of the deprivation and stress of poverty and the lion’s share of middle-class annoyances. It is flat out rich.
I think it’s also worth describing briefly why imo the CNBC article scratches that hate click itch. There are more than four levels of wealth.
The rare rich people who makes $400k/yr by and large spend their daily lives in close proximity to the even rarer people who make millions of dollars per year; those are their bosses and clients. They spend probably way more time thinking about what those richer people have...

This is a stunning quote. publicpool.kinja.com/subject-in-tow…
That’s the White House communications shop saying on the record that the doctors’ on-camera briefing to the American people presented a false picture of his health to boost his mood, but the WH COS leaked the truth anonymously to reporters afterward to provide “transparency.”

Here come the white coats to try again.
“Two episodes of transient drops” in Trump’s oxygen sats.
Conley is now admitting to giving the President supplemental oxygen, something he adamantly refused to do yesterday.

I’m trying to puzzle out how the Meadows story plays into it. One theory: Trump and his COS were at odds over what message to give to the public, Conley chose the President’s implausible sunnier version, and Meadows leaked a darker one.
A more peculiar theory I guess is that Meadows released a second message undercutting the doctors somehow with Trump’s approval. Both would be staggering stories.
Meadows as Chief of Staff to a frail, hospitalized president could presumably prevent a misleading press conference from going forward outside. He could certainly have stepped up to the mics himself to say these things. Is he just a chaos agent? https://t.co/kXA3taDhc1

??!! It wasn’t Conley who said the 48 hours part. It was another physician. This is so weird.
Dr. Brian Garibaldi is the fellow’s name. npr.org/sections/lates…
Also, as indicated in the NPR story, Garibaldi’s “48 hours ago” was counting backwards from the current time, not forward from the diagnosis, so even leaving aside that Conley’s memo incorrectly attributed the statement to himself, the “day 2” explanation doesn’t make any sense.
