Bishop defeats McCready in North Carolina in a victory for Trump, who made a full-throated plea for him at a rally a day earlier. Bishop squeezed by with a 2-point margin in a district Trump carried by 12 points. ⁦@RichardFausset⁩ ⁦@jmartNYT⁩ https://t.co/m9MXI5HtIP — PolitiTweet.org

Bolton saw his job as stopping Trump from making unwise agreements with American enemies. “While John Bolton was national security adviser for the last 17 months, there have been no bad deals,” a person close to him said minutes after Trump’s tweet. https://t.co/dgS7WlHDHd — PolitiTweet.org

In Kabul, gunmen in trucks raced through the streets firing in the air to mark the anniversary of the assassination of Ahmed Shah Masood, the legendary anti-Taliban commander. "Today we are as far from peace as we were years ago." ⁦@davidzucchino⁩ https://t.co/UiyueZctJD — PolitiTweet.org

In a private meeting last spring, Trump railed about Ukrainian politicians, calling them "corrupt," and insisted the old Ukrainian government "tried to take me down" by helping Clinton in 2016. Now he's holding up a military aid package. ⁦@kenvogel⁩ https://t.co/Weov7KSsSj — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign is squeezing Iran in a dramatic way. Oil exports likely have dropped to about 200,000 barrels a day, down from roughly 2.5 million barrels a day when Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal. ⁦@GeraldFSeib⁩ https://t.co/LwyD7mmfdc — PolitiTweet.org

The US successfully extracted one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government, a move driven in part by concern that Trump and his administration mishandled intelligence and could contribute to exposing the source. ⁦@jimsciutto⁩ https://t.co/GSFAcy5oWr — PolitiTweet.org
