So, America, perhaps the greatest danger we face is not a caravan 1000 miles away.
Maybe it’s already here. – at Wisconsin, USA
#Caravans help GOP. Scare & energize Republican voters. More likely to be funded & helped by Republicans than by Democrats.

Jurist? I'd say Kavanaugh is more a sophist. He writes in @WSJ about last week's hearing, "I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and father." No, judge, you were there as a nominee and as an accused sexual predator.

The Kavanaugh debacle reminds me of a former Republican leader of the 40-member Kansas Senate back in the day. There was a big disagreement over an issue.
I asked, "What's the truth?"
"The truth," he said, "is 21 votes." – at Georgetown, TX

Medicaid recipients not knowing about work requirements. From @j_jgreene @BaruchMarxe @CUNY in @nytimes
If people don’t know there’s a Medicaid work requirement, can it reduce poverty? nyti.ms/2Q1APvo?smid=nytcore…

A hero died today. You won’t read about it on the news or hear about it at your dinner tables. Her name was Paulina Plaksej, and she, along with her parents, risked their lives to save 18 jews during the Holocaust. Paulina was a Polish Christian. She made god smile. Rest in peace

"@realDonaldTrump does not see people who are not white as people." Author, journalist, and Trump biographer @DavidCayJ explains to @DeanObeidallah the President's long running bigotry toward minorities, following his denial of Puerto Rican hurricane fatalities.
Remember how much the city depended on you that day — and on @SharonDiz and @cominer not to mention @danjacobson718 and @clairebrinberg
For all those killed or have gotten sick from the toxic dust that filled the air we must never forget. My live report from the scene as the first tower fell.

Seven. Hundred. Million.
The Republican tax cuts gave Sheldon Adrlson a nearly $700,000,000 windfall earlier this year. Adelson has since given $30,000,000 to a Paul Ryan-linked super PAC. nyti.ms/2MsMc1t

The end of the @ChrisCuomo and Rudy Giuliani conversation perfectly captures our modern moment:
Giuliani: It’s in the eye of the beholder.
Cuomo: No, facts are not in the eye of the beholder.
Giuliani: Nowadays they are

Hillary Clinton is 71 and people tell her to knit.
Nancy Pelosi is 78 and people are telling her to go away.
Mitt Romney is 71, they want him in the Senate.
Bernie Sanders is 77, they want him to run in 2020.
Its almost as if there's some sort of pattern.

The single most favorable indicator for Democrats, in terms of their chances of taking over the House, is fundraising. Specifically, individual contributions to individual candidates, which tends to be the most important/predictive measure of electoral success.

It's official. With polls closed in KS, MI, MO, we've broken the record for women major party nominees for U.S. House in any year.
The previous record was 167. With 5 women candidates unopposed and one all-female primary, we've hit 168 tonight with possibly more to come.

The wildfires in the news have reminded me of an NYC evening, not that long after 9/11. I and a couple of colleagues were at a bar (Automatic Slim's, if memory serves) and there was this group of young guys in some kind of uniform. 1/X

Mbappe was born in France and grew up in the banlieues of Paris. His father is from Cameroon and his mother is from Algeria. Immigrants are great for France— just as they are for the US. teapawt.net/ajplus/status/10185428…
France just won the #WorldCup
19 of its team's 23 players are immigrants or the children of immigrants
