Of all the easily provable insane lies he tells -- on the eve of one of our nation's greatest tragedies, this should be the top news story
If a news organization does not cover this as a clear case of: “president Trump tells story of 9/11 that glorifies himself but has no basis in fact” they are not worth listening to. Yes, I’m talking about you, @nytimes.com
Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

No, not irreversible.
But it will almost certainly take more than one Democratic term to fix.
Which is why I’ve been so insistent that folks stop the goddamn purity tests and vote responsibly in November.
We aren’t looking for perfect candidates. We’re looking for better than Republicans.

I'm amending my pantheon of great tv series endings to add a new one: The Knick (Cinemax but streaming now on HBO Max). If you didn't see the series when it first aired, all 2 seasons are directed by Stephen Soderberg and star Clive Owen. Amazing tv.

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections.
In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million.
This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

It was a great day in SC!
The previous one day record for early voting in a SC primary was 23,000. Today, 55,500 South Carolinians shattered that record by voting early. Today was a good day for American democracy in South Carolina.
