    Sorry, I'm still busy reporting out Trump's accusation that your father was involved in the killing of JFK.

    There is only one word to describe this performance of Trump’s in Tulsa: pathetic. And one conclusion to be drawn: he’s finished ... and he knows it.

    I'll ask again: Why would a man this indignant, emotional, and certain of his innocence not be demanding an FBI investigation of the accusations against him? Why is he not insisting that his friend Mark Judge testify on his behalf?

    Simply devastated by news of the passing of @RepCummings -- a figure of enormous political and moral dignity and gravity. It's been a couple years since the last time we talked on camera. When it aired, this scene moved people hugely. Watching it now brings me to tears.

    He’s looking around at the empty seats and saying two things: “Brad’s fired” and “I’m fucked.”

    "I think there's probably, possibly drugs involved. That's what I hear." -- during interview with Judge Jeanine, Trump casually accuses Joe Biden of using performance enhancing drugs

    Why is Trump losing the election right now -- and not just losing, but getting crushed? This right here. This is why.

    I very much enjoy occupying space in @seanhannity's head. It's a large, sprawling space, with ample room for furniture and all 14 of the multi-syllabic words he knows.

    Some of us have been predicting for months EXACTLY this scenario and EXACTLY what Trump is doing — not because we are so prescient but b/c he TOLD US he was going to do EXACTLY this.

    If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then @PeteButtigieg must really be trying butter up @BarackObama.

    It was supposed to be a triumphant return to the campaign trail — instead Trump’s Tulsa rally turned into a disaster on all fronts. Let @jheil take you through the turbulent turn of events: recount.co/Recap2020
