Of course he'd stoop to tacitly calling brown-skinned hurricane victims lazy. Of course.

He just can't help himself.

Yep.
In conclusion: the president is a white supremacist.

Come at me.
Oh hey, here go the receipts.
Nobody could've foreseen this — nobody at all.
Shouts out to @jmpalmieri — who meant what she said. 👇
Reminder:
By the way: we’re agreed he’s well ensconced as at least the worst since Hoover — right?
😬 BE QUIET

😖 AND DO

👉 YOUR JOB
.@NateSilver538: Sometimes, that 45 is irrational, incompetent or bigoted is the only explanation that makes sense. 53eig.ht/2xOc6EN
In fact — as @AnandWrites explained in this smart thread — those facets of Trump are all of a piece.

Pretty clear this ginned-up outrage against Broward officials originates in a coordinated Republican effort.

What comes next — Brooks Brothers Riot II: Electric Boogaloo?
I think what galls me most when Republicans say Democrats will turn the country into Venezuela — or Central America, or what have you — is how the same Republicans turn around and pull straight-up banana republic 💩.
This is the sum of it.

This has to be an incomparably tough time for the journalists of the Post, but the event at the center of these tough times makes this with saying:

Nah, y’all are at war now.
Same for the NYT: in a real sense — nonpartisan, but still real — the forces the administration represents see you as the opposition, whether you accept that perception or not.
I don’t say this as a Democrat, or as a liberal in the partisan sense. I say this as someone committed to the liberal (to use that in the nonpartisan sense) project of inquiry — the centuries-long tradition in which journalists do their best to establish the facts …

Alright, a little thread on Where We Are Now™. In a less than 36-hour span:

1) @BernieSanders spoke on the march of kleptocratic authoritarianism—as seen of late in Brazil, where @jairbolsonaro took the plurality of votes in the first round of elections:
@BernieSanders @jairbolsonaro 2) The @GOP — the political mouthpiece of the Trump administration — spoke out to … :checks notes: … attack Sanders for condemning authoritarians:
3) The WSJ editorial board — a voice of the same company that controls the GOP-aligned, for profit super PAC known as Fox News — *endorsed* the authoritarian for Brazil's presidency!

Totally normal morning news show ending with a "Trump 2020" banner waving in the background as a bunch of the president's surrogates tell the audience to vote for Republicans
But seriously, try watching Fox & Friends sometime between now and the election. It's basically just a Trump/GOP infomercial.
Also gave them an excuse to play Trump's new campaign ad

Short thread. It’s important to make distinctions.

This should go without saying, but a shooter who hates Trump is different from a bomber who loves Trump. 1/
There does exist a scary Trump superfan community (mostly alt-right) that is responsible for an astounding level of harasssment and threats against Trump critics — and for isolated acts of violence. This is very, very real. /2
BUT it is NOT THE SAME as the pre-existing, hideously evil Nazi/White supremacist community that has long committed acts of violence in this country and will sadly exist after Trump is gone. These people come straight from the gates of hell. /3

Oh sweet Jesus.

At 4:24 am, Fox & Friends First ran a segment about Alec Baldwin saying he was tired of playing Trump on SNL. An hour later, Trump tweeting an attack on him.

Some more screengrabs from that segment; they aired tweets of people saying that Baldwin is terrible.
Fox & Friends First was also airing John Cornyn's warnings about trade wars.
