OK I think I've got a couple of this morning's tweets lined up.
Left, Fox & Friends, 7:09 am
Right, Trump, 8:25 am
Timeline matches up with these.
Left, Fox & Friends, 6:26 am
Right, Trump, 8:00 am
I'm not really sure what's going on with the CHAOS tweet. Could be a reference to the Sam Nunberg segment at the top of the 6 am hour, but really hard to say.

Hrm. Okay, I'm a bit confused now. Trump's "had the right to end DACA" quote in his latest tweet is an exact quote from 7:03 am.
Left, Fox & Friends, 7:03 am
Right, Trump, 8:46 am
That pushes back the Oscars tweet, which is probably early in the 6 am hour.
Left, Fox & Friends, 6:11 am
Right, Trump, 8:25 am
Which places the first DACA tweet probably at the very beginning of the show.
Left, Fox & Friends, 6:00 am
Right, Trump, 8:00 am

Crashing out and telling people it's because you're mad about the handling of the Epstein files sounds like a great way to stop doing hard work and get back to making tons of money podcasting...
Grain of salt but if the deputy director of the FBI resigns and says it's because the attorney general is directing a cover-up you kinda need to have congressional hearings at that point...
Bad state of affairs that the deputy attorney general had to come out and deny Laura Loomer's claims within the hour of her making them...
1. A Fox host told Trump over lunch two weeks ago that Iran was days from a nuke, which he apparently believed over the denials of the former Fox contributor he made director of national intelligence.
2. Then Trump woke up on Friday and saw wall-to-wall positive coverage of Israeli strikes on Iran, and decided he wanted some credit.
3. Now the former Fox host Trump named Secretary of Defense has the U.S. military marshaling forces in the region while a different former Fox host has been in a scorched-earth fight with the first Fox host to capture Trump's attention and stop it.
1. I'm going to thread out the very odd sequence of events that led Fox News anchor John Robert, theoretically a "straight news" guy, to pretend the early hours of June 7 actually happened a day ago in order to avoid pointing out that Donald Trump was wrong about something.
2. A few hours ago at the White House, Trump was asked when he last spoke to CA Gov. Gavin Newsom. Trump replied that they had spoked "a day ago."
Pirro stands out, even among the long list of shills and propagandists Fox employs, as a diehard Trump sycophant. In 2018, my late colleague Simon Maloy wrote that her "advocacy for the president is so aggressive that it often borders on insane -- some of her commentary would be at home in an authoritarian state media apparatus." mediamatters.org/jeanine-pirro/…
Here's a thread of notes on Pete Hegseth, the Fox & Friends weekend co-host that Donald Trump is trying to make Defense Secretary, overseeing the U.S. military, massive Pentagon budget and bureaucracy, and sixth in line to the presidency.
Hegseth is an extreme hawk who has backed attacks on Iranian infrastructure and cultural sites and even floated a “preemptive strike” against North Korea. mediamatters.org/pete-hegseth/t…
Hegseth has complained that military rules of engagement in combat zones are “a huge problem” and were “written for us to lose.” He's backed that up by successfully lobbying Trump to give clemency to alleged and convicted U.S. war criminals. mediamatters.org/pete-hegseth/t…
Takeaway from the truck stunt is Trump won’t say anything bad about the supporter who spoke at his rally and called PR garbage, and indeed doesn’t seem able to even denounce the comment.
He’s just giving those influential Puerto Ricans who have been expressing outrage about the comments all week new material to post about, insane self-own.
