Each morning Trump watches recordings of shows. DVRs record Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Martha McCallum, Anderson Cooper. ⁦@shearm⁩ ⁦@maggieNYT⁩ ⁦@nickconfessore⁩ ⁦@karenyourish⁩ ⁦@larrybuch⁩ ⁦@collinskeith⁩ https://t.co/qWBCbHs5gs — PolitiTweet.org

Just guessing, but tonight may be the first time a president has attended a competition in which the winner is declared the “Baddest Motherf**er” and receives a BMF belt. — PolitiTweet.org

One day, two Washington book agents were invited to meet a senior official at a private location. They did not know why until they got there. "I am Anonymous," the official told them. Inside the story of the book DC is waiting for. ⁦@anniekarni⁩ https://t.co/TCAZABp2ez — PolitiTweet.org

Even the president told Don Jr. "that I might be getting ‘a little too hot’ on my social media accounts," the son says in his new book. He usually takes his dad's advice. "This, however, was probably the one time I decided not to listen!” @maggieNYT⁩ https://t.co/l8kvwjhgKC — PolitiTweet.org

For four decades, Trump viewed New York as his playground, going to parties, squiring women and avoiding a boring life at all costs. But the New York he once saw as synonymous with himself no longer exists. ⁦@maggieNYT⁩ ⁦@EricLiptonNYT⁩ https://t.co/EqMyvLc1sY — PolitiTweet.org

Russian officials held up the evacuation from Moscow of a sick US military attaché to a hospital in Germany in the latest episode of a long-running campaign of harassment against American diplomats. ⁦@michaelcrowley⁩ ⁦@EricSchmittNYT⁩ https://t.co/uCIdjHSkPN — PolitiTweet.org

"He needs to tweet like we need to eat": Deep dive on Trump's Twitter; 2,000 self-praising tweets; a staff plan for 15-minute delay. ⁦@shearm⁩ ⁦@maggieNYT⁩ ⁦@nickconfessore⁩ ⁦@karenyourish⁩ ⁦@larrybuch⁩ ⁦@collinskeith⁩ https://t.co/qWBCbHs5gs — PolitiTweet.org

A week after he was greeted by “lock him up” chants at Nationals Park, Trump will host the World Series champions at the White House. But at least one star will stay away. https://t.co/3EdvKwoKbT — PolitiTweet.org

Four Defense officials say they've seen no after-action reports, situation reports or other communications that support Trump’s "whimpering" claim. "I don't know how he would know that. It sounds like something he made up.” ⁦@EricSchmittNYT⁩ https://t.co/5BK3938eSL — PolitiTweet.org

The great historian @jmeacham makes the smart point on @Morning_Joe that the split on impeachment in the @washingtonpost poll is almost exactly the same as the popular vote in 2016. In other words, essentially no one has moved in three years. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

In the House debate, there was lots of discussion about how unfair the Democratic rules for the investigation are, but almost no one claimed it’s just fine for the president to pressure a foreign leader to investigate his political rivals. ⁦@sbg1⁩ https://t.co/QSPTJGY6rF — PolitiTweet.org

America is split right down the middle on impeachment, with 49% in favor and 47% against. Sentiment is entirely divided along parry lines, with 82% of Democrats for and 82% of Republicans opposed. ⁦@danbalz⁩ ⁦@Emilyguskin⁩ https://t.co/boMpanx0fW — PolitiTweet.org

White House complains that newly approved impeachment rules are still unfair: "The Democrats want to render a verdict without giving the administration a chance to mount a defense. That is unfair, unconstitutional, and fundamentally un-American." — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

House votes along party lines to endorse impeachment inquiry against Trump and set rules for the process, with no Republicans voting yes. In 1998, 31 House Democrats voted to authorize impeachment inquiry against Clinton. @npfandos https://t.co/2OIeIC9XfR — PolitiTweet.org

Was al-Baghdadi “screaming, crying and whimpering” at the end? So far the only person who has said so is Trump and he had no way to hear. Top Defense and military officials say they don’t know what he’s talking about. @helenecooper https://t.co/rH6OLFZaha — PolitiTweet.org
