    Wait, Tom Cotton just said America is Safer now than 4 years ago - but one of the themes of this convention is that America’s cities are more violent than ever.

    Worth noting that today is Alexander Hamilton’s Birthday - you know, the immigrant kid who came from the shithole of Nevis to create the USA

    One day it will be an amazing case study: how someone can have access to the most accurate information in the world, on any subject, and still choose to believe rumors, lies and conspiracy theories.

    Let’s not simply dismiss this latest presidential tweet as Trump being Trump - The President of the United States just denied the official death toll from Hurricane Maria and blamed it on Democrats. This is among the lowest statements made by any American president.

    Michelle Obama’s speech - and especially her delivery – was the kind stuff they’ll teach in classes. But the biggest takeaway for me was that Joe Biden vs. Trump is a campaign that can bring together Bernie Sanders and John Kasich - and that’s a real big tent.

    DNI just said that the most urgent threat America faces is not a military strike from a foreign nation but an attempt to undermine the integrity of our election system. Let that sink in.

    Character is what you do when nobody’s watching. This is Trump sober, mid-day, with someone he barely knows, while wearing a mic.

    It's official: I'm running for Congress in #NY01 because there's too much at stake for the country & community I love. Long Island families deserve someone who fights for their values, not Trump's. It's time for us all to get off the sidelines. Join Me. secure.actblue.com/donate/avlon-d…

    Jacob Blake’s dad just said on @NewDay that he spoke to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for an hour - said it was like speaking to “my uncle and one of my sisters.” When Ali Camerota asked if he’d heard from President Trump to date, Mr. Blake only said “negative.”

    Here’s the biggest takeaway from this morning’s hearing: Not a single Republican asked about the many troubling allegations about our president put forward by his former personal attorney. Instead, it was all attack, distract and deflect. Which they learned from the president.
