From 1936-2000, Washington's Football Team had an unbroken record of predicting the winner of the presidential election. If Washington won its last home game before the vote, then the incumbent party won. By that rule, Washington's win over Dallas means Trump should win. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly three out of four opinions issued by Trump-appointed judges have favored maintaining limits on voting, while just 17% of rulings by Obama-appointed judges have. @amarimow @matt_kiefer https://t.co/zcP6JOAsnq — PolitiTweet.org

Amid bad polls in so many other places, Republicans feel buoyed by @DMRegister survey showing Trump up by 7 points in Iowa, 48-41. Biden does not need Iowa to win but the shift worried some Democrats. @brianneDMR https://t.co/0J81mx6ocr — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he ran "because I could not sit by & watch any longer as a small group of Washington Insiders continued to get rich bleeding America Dry." Trump's businesses have taken in $8 million from US taxpayers and political entities. https://t.co/ALHZ4eZVsQ — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. border authorities have expelled about 200 migrant children from other countries into Mexico, violating a diplomatic agreement with Mexico and testing the limits of immigration and child welfare laws. ⁦@itscaitlinhd⁩ https://t.co/Mi1aD1kujh — PolitiTweet.org

Seven years later, after Baker left office, Trump's real estate industry got Congress to restore the breaks, and then some. https://t.co/pmWaBwpnB4 — PolitiTweet.org

Baker brushed him off and pointed out the window to the White House next door. “A guy that wants to do this is in that building and you need to go over there," Baker told him, meaning Reagan. In the end, Baker pushed the bill through Congress and Trump complained bitterly. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

In "THE MAN WHO RAN WASHINGTON," @sbg1 and I report on how Trump tried to pressure Jim Baker when he was Treasury secretary to drop plans to scale back the real estate tax breaks in the landmark 1986 tax reform legislation. "He came in there like a stormtrooper," Baker told us. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

Smart story on how Trump profited off real estate tax breaks for decades--and how after acknowledging the code was out of whack and promising to fix it, he actually doubled down on real estate tax benefits. ⁦@JesseDrucker⁩ ⁦@JamesStewartNYT⁩ https://t.co/qAnadUlWKM — PolitiTweet.org
