@swin24 @lachlan Lol, my first version of this tweet (since deleted) had "Project Lincoln." — PolitiTweet.org

NEW- Trump’s campaign has spent more than $400k on ads to air on D.C. cable because, sources tell @swin24 and @lachlan, they wanted to make sure Trump knew they were running an aggressive operation, including at The Lincoln Project https://t.co/CjhVOiNwhB — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. That's quite the number — PolitiTweet.org

Trump should hold outdoor rallies. The weather is great and it’s safer. — PolitiTweet.org

In light of his “Defund” tweet that set off a lot of the D.C.-based portion of the debate, here is a piece on the radicalization of @brianefallon https://t.co/lE3bOBAY8Q — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@mattdizwhitlock Are you suggesting it? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@svdate Maybe you shouldn’t assume as much — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@svdate Sorry, who said I was confused? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

I get that Trump camp wants to tie Biden to the “defund” police movement. But Biden’s actual position is to stop sending military equipment to police and/but actually enhance funding on condition of hiring and policing reform. It’s…. on his website https://t.co/UWweRAd64L — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

My thinking is that campaigns brought out the worse in Romney, as they do in basically everybody. But it’s not particularly fair to portray his 2012 run as saintly and noble. Nor was it fair to buy into Obama’s hope/change stuff. His operation was vicious. Anyways, who cares. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Any discussion about whether Romney was treated “harshly” in 2012 probably needs to address that the public-facing Romney then is different than the one now. Yes, he clearly has a moral compass to him. But he was also harshly anti-immigrant, courted Trump, and made birther jokes. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

And that, ladies and gents, concludes my thread. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Certainly seems discordant to do this amid a campaign by the president and his party to vilify the press corps as basically #FakeNews — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

I suppose the NRCC can do what it wants with the piece. But this strikes me as a slippery slope. They're taking a news product, doctoring it, and then blasting it out without any indication it's doctored (no ellipses or anything). — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Here are the two version https://t.co/pOvtxmSQDh — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

They appeared to paste the story in its entirety. But upon inspection, two graphs were missing: the comment from Lee's office and the context of how Nevada gaming would benefit writ large from the change. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

The piece went live this morning. And shortly thereafter, the NRCC picked it up and blasted it out to its email list, which makes sense. Again, it wasn't a great look for Lee. But something was peculiar about the NRCC's email — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Not a great look for Lee. But her office defended the action by saying she had nothing to do with her husband's company getting loans and noting that her state's broader economy benefited from this change. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@lachlan The story was how Lee lobbied the federal government to expand coronavirus aid to her state’s gaming industry. After the change was made, her husband’s casino company received millions of dollars in government-backed loans. https://t.co/cg9IJDn19s — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Indulge me, if you will, on a short thread about a story we published this morning, that @lachlan wrote on Rep. Susie Lee, a freshmen Democrat from Nevada.  https://t.co/cg9IJDn19s — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Biden should make some cabinet picks BEFORE the election as a means of engaging the base, argues @tomperriello https://t.co/QrUKbZNPWI — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

“It’s somewhat reminiscent of when Trump said he was going to bring back manufacturing jobs or coal miner jobs...The easiest thing to express politically is: we’re going to get you back on your feet… But is saying it going to make it happen? No.” - @AndrewYang — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

NEW — Biden's dilemma: talk up economic restoration to a pre-COVID norm or embrace a more realistic (but maybe more politically risky) economic transformation. https://t.co/9g2wlizQCV — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@JohnCornyn Do you believe that? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Absolutely devastated that we have to spend another three days at least debating the NYT editorial page processes — PolitiTweet.org
