Growing up as a Georgetown fan in the DC area, what I remember most about John Thompson was not even the 1984 championship, although that was awesome -- it was the 1982 game that Georgetown lost in the last seconds to UNC. (1) — PolitiTweet.org

RIP John Thompson, who led the Georgetown Hoyas to the national championship and set a model for using sports to lift disadvantaged youths to greater opportunity. Those of us who grew up in DC in that era know what a giant we've lost. @lizclarketweet https://t.co/jtBDVkcJDg — PolitiTweet.org

Mnuchin's politics have driven a wedge within his family. His father is "appalled" and his stepmom was so anxious to avoid shaking Trump's hand at the secretary's wedding that she pretended her arm was injured. ⁦@JamesStewartNYT⁩ ⁦@arappeport⁩ https://t.co/BO3Fdg5MIm — PolitiTweet.org

As perhaps 100,000 marched for Lukashenko's resignation for the third weekend in a row, the large turnout indicated that the explosion of popular fury against the longtime dictator of Belarus is nowhere close to abating.⁦ @antontroian⁩ https://t.co/4G7rec6wp6 — PolitiTweet.org

It is a year in which one Black American after another fell victim to the police and one city after another erupted in flames. ... But while 2020 feels cursed, it is still only two-thirds over. What could the next four months bring before the calendar turns? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

It has been a year of tragedy, of catastrophe, of upheaval, a year that has inflicted one blow after another, a year that has filled the morgues, emptied the schools, shuttered the workplaces, swelled the unemployment lines and polarized the electorate. https://t.co/YOLDDZE8DZ — PolitiTweet.org

Even for Trump, it was a morning of especially wild tweets, advancing conspiracy theories claiming a coup against him and an inflated virus death toll while embracing a call to imprison Cuomo and offering support for Kyle Rittenhouse. https://t.co/PlSF8ft3W2 — PolitiTweet.org

Is New York a crime-ridden hellscape? It's complicated. Shootings are up 87% and murders 35% but increasing from a low base after seven years of record-breaking calm. Other crime is down, like rape (25%) and grand larceny (20%). ⁦@alanfeuer⁩ https://t.co/vYGWXzmc5Z — PolitiTweet.org

Trump calls Biden “the worst candidate ever put up by the Democrat Party” and goes after Harris, saying, "You know, I want to see the first woman president also, but I don’t want to see a woman president get into that position the way she’d do it and she’s not competent." — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

Trump, far more energized than last night, sounds defensive about reviews of his convention speech, noting that commentators said it was low energy. “Well, it’s a different kind of speech,” he said. “Tonight I’m in New Hampshire and we can wing it.” — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

Trump is more Trump off-script tonight in New Hampshire than he was sticking to the TelePrompter on the South Lawn last night. — PolitiTweet.org

For a ratings-obsessed president, a disappointing result: About 23.8 million people watched Trump’s acceptance speech last night, short of the 24.6 million who watched Biden’s address last week. Both were down significantly from four years ago. @grynbaum https://t.co/VvALsDI6dR — PolitiTweet.org
