Navarro once drafted a 15-page memo accusing a colleague of being the Anonymous who wrote an op-ed and book criticizing Trump. The only problem: He was wrong. But it didn’t stop his suspect from being pushed out of the White House weeks later. @dlippman https://t.co/2UkR8ykMCu — PolitiTweet.org

In 1980, Vernon Jordan was shot and seriously wounded. He once told me he had lunch with a minister afterward: "I said, 'Gordon, you’re a preacher, you’re in touch with the Lord. Why didn’t I die?' He said, 'That’s very simple, Jordan. The Lord is not finished with your ass.’" — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats have pushed for federal aid to states hard hit by the pandemic. But by some measures, states ended up collecting nearly as much revenue in 2020 as they did in 2019. ⁦@marywalshnyt⁩ https://t.co/fEZ6hf0Fnr — PolitiTweet.org

"President Biden is facing his first major test of a campaign promise and, it appears, he’s about to fail it," writes ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ publisher Fred Ryan after the decision not to sanction Saudi Arabia's MBS for Khashoggi's assassination. https://t.co/yWIFHV5rqm — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly two months after the Capitol attack, the claim that antifa was involved has been repeatedly debunked by authorities, but it has hardened into gospel among hard-line Trump supporters. ⁦@grynbaum⁩ ⁦@daveyalba⁩ ⁦@reidepstein⁩ https://t.co/61VBu78q6l — PolitiTweet.org

Cuomo’s fellow Democrats demand an independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment, unswayed by his appointment of a former federal judge with close ties to a longtime ally. ⁦@danarubinstein⁩ https://t.co/jwtCOG19EM — PolitiTweet.org

Second woman accuses Cuomo: “I understood that the governor wanted to sleep with me, and felt horribly uncomfortable and scared. And was wondering how I was going to get out of it and assumed it was the end of my job.” ⁦@jessemckinley⁩ https://t.co/SEhPX7GnAG — PolitiTweet.org

A proposal to rename a Balkans reservoir Trump Lake "achieved a singularly elusive goal in this part of the world: It has united ethnic Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo. Almost everybody thinks the idea ludicrous." ⁦@ATHigginsNYT⁩ https://t.co/9Lg0jr798p — PolitiTweet.org

While defendants charged in the Capitol siege have shifted blame to Trump, downplayed their actions or expressed remorse, federal judges, particularly those who work blocks from the Capitol, aren’t buying it. ⁦@rachelweinerwp⁩ ⁦@hsu_spencer⁩ https://t.co/HkAbzo1ONv — PolitiTweet.org
