A funny thing about the MAGA outlets that pride themselves on their coziness with the White House is that they never break news on the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

"A senior Defense Department official with firsthand knowledge of events and a senior U.S. Marine Corps officer who was told about Trump’s comments confirmed some of the remarks to The Associated Press, including the 2018 cemetery comments." https://t.co/BKKPNl4WHq — PolitiTweet.org

Of all the astonishing details in this @JeffreyGoldberg story, the kicker may be the one that sticks with me the longest: https://t.co/G2UnFl9wj2 https://t.co/q4qwhqaE2R — PolitiTweet.org

@_megconley @IChotiner Reminded me of this: https://t.co/Z5uE6RKVV4 https://t.co/BVIYlrRnVS — PolitiTweet.org

If you haven't alread, make sure you read @gcaw's piece on Osterweil's book: https://t.co/Z5uE6RKVV4 https://t.co/SlVdQVXDyf — PolitiTweet.org

This conversation between @IChotiner and pro-looting author Vicky Osterweil is illuminating, particularly the final exchange: https://t.co/xMDWwbZWNb https://t.co/r5WXwmkDOI — PolitiTweet.org

@RealDavidAJones And doing beard trims? All our local barbershops are requiring masks, which rules out anything beard-related. — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

So, people with unkempt quarantine beards: Are you sticking with it until barbershops start doing beard trims again (someday)? Are you learning how to trim it yourselves? Do you plan on just shaving it off once the world reopens? Need some guidance from my newly bearded brethren. — PolitiTweet.org

"If reformers hope to succeed in curbing overpolicing, they will first have to overcome the challenge of underpolicing, which has often allowed officers to exercise an effective veto on reform." A smart, challenging piece @AlecMacGillis on a complex issue: https://t.co/LjqSAak3lQ — PolitiTweet.org

@jbarro Also, having "yes, some parts are true" as an option sort of makes the question useless. — PolitiTweet.org

The yoga teacher Karena Virginia says she was groped by Donald Trump in 1998. Another woman with a similar allegation has chosen to remain anonymous. Both women tell @ejeancarroll their stories and reflect on the aftereffects of their respective decisions. https://t.co/m8OdwHBbSP — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta say, the closer we get to the election, the more it feels like this "worst-case scenario" I laid out back in February underestimated how bad things could get. https://t.co/wW3zihKoqo https://t.co/EQ05gA2XSS — PolitiTweet.org

A big perk of working for @benyt as a young reporter was the deep, gossipy education in 2000s media history that he'd give us (and that he now gives readers of his column). https://t.co/6mBC8mdY2t — PolitiTweet.org

“Are you willing to hand over your freedom and create a health police state?” Worries about freedom and privacy are just one reason contact tracing isn't going well in the U.S., reports @olgakhazan: https://t.co/fT5s778Bej — PolitiTweet.org

@thepubprobably Yeah that's fair, though it feels like it lasted 23 years. — PolitiTweet.org

I mean, the Democrats had a long, drawn out, contentious primary and they ended up nominating... literally the least radical candidate in the field. — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Biden identifies the key flaw of Trump's message here—the idea of Biden as a secret radical is just not intuitive to anybody, so it requires a ton of explaining and insisting on the Trump campaign's part, and it still ends up sounding kind of absurd. https://t.co/gZ1gUfSS5L — PolitiTweet.org
