reenacting an interview
I’ll believe that Trump is growing into the presidency when his lawyers stop talking about him like a toddler. https://t.co/Dz6pkZtJLF pic.twitter.com/THaVghOYzB

and 🍊 knew Flynn lied
New—That mock special counsel interview Dowd did with Trump centered around Michael Flynn, according to Woodward. Trump doesn't rule out that he was told before firing him that Flynn lied to the FBI. Additional details from "FEAR", which I obtained today: https://t.co/ZbzQJJ2N7s

don’t trust human intelligence
Stunning but not surprising, Trump told James Clapper re intelligence agencies use of human sources: "l don't believe in human sources … These are people who have sold their souls and sold out their country … I don't trust human intelligence and these spies." pic.twitter.com/vahPq0iOCU

more paranoia ensues
For Trump, who is obsessed with loyalty and betrayal, the idea that someone under his roof is stabbing him in the back will be all-consuming. This White House mole hunt will dwarf the Woodward source smoke-out. https://t.co/IZCr0qI01l

SCOTUS
named by a criminal
A president who is named by his longtime personal lawyer as an un-indicted co-conspirator should not be nominating Supreme Court judges for lifetime appointments.

Kavanaugh for NRA
Father of Slain Parkland Teen (Fred Guttenberg) Says Not Only Did Kavanaugh Turn Away As Soon As He Mentioned His Murdered Daughter. But Kavanaugh Himself Asked Security to Remove Guttenberg and ID'd Him to Security By the Bracelets He Wears for His Daughter. pic.twitter.com/7MD66IBLk3

Late night projection at the Supreme Court to send a clear message to the Senate:

No ACA promise

LIEGATE
Woodward interviews
Of 13 current and former White House officials I spoke to today, seven said they spoke to Bob Woodward for his book.
— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) September 5, 2018
pro-tip
Pro tip regarding denials of Woodward quotes: when they are overly specific they are confirmations. "I didn't call Trump 'a fucking idiot.'" without a full throated defense of Trump's intelligence means the person called Trump an idiot but used a different adjective.

re: Sessions
Not that it matters because nothing does, but there's literally audio of Trump calling at least two people "mentally retarded". https://t.co/0XVfq3ywmr

Hunting Woodward’s sources
There would be no need to hunt for Bob Woodward's sources if, as Trump alleges, Woodward made up the claims in his new book. https://t.co/OoPLdd2kHY

For Trump, who is obsessed with loyalty and betrayal, the idea that someone under his roof is stabbing him in the back will be all-consuming. This White House mole hunt will dwarf the Woodward source smoke-out. https://t.co/IZCr0qI01l

REPUBLICANS
Ted Cruz
Obviously @tedcruz is desperate if he's stooping to splicing videos to mislead voters. @BetoORourke is a REAL PATRIOT who reveres our flag and believes in everything it stands for – freedom, justice and equality for all. We all saw his video, Ted. We know what he really said. https://t.co/dxVmDAlzOj

Alabamans on 🍊
Jeff Sessions was an esteemed Alabama senator for 20 years, beloved by many in the state. The first sitting senator to endorse Trump. Wonder what the 1.3 million Alabama residents who voted for Trump think of him calling Sessions a mentally retarded, dumb Southerner traitor?

Cruz/Beto
TX-Sen is 48-48 in today's @civiqs tracking poll. Undecideds are minimal. People have picked sides. The race is within the Margin of Who Turns Out. Holy shit. Men 55-41 Cruz, women 54-42 Beto. pic.twitter.com/AYaCZhCkwC

NRA
It’s very disappointing to see Brett Kavanaugh turn away from a grieving father. Especially when the @NRA pledged to spend over $1 million on Pro-Kavanaugh ads. https://t.co/GFiu1fkdVq

NRA answer
This is stunning.
.@SenFeinstein: are you worried about AR-15s being used in so many school shootings? #Kavanaugh: Yea, it's sad. But we need to "harden" our schools. Lots of people use AR-15s for self defense. (Shorter: School shootings are the price we pay for "freedom") pic.twitter.com/EhttL30Gp1
