    Iran's ex-president is not really on Kaepernick’s side. His underlying message puts him on Trump’s side. In effect he is saying, “See? You Americans punish dissent, too.”

    This is exceptionally interesting, as the person is described confirming the thrust of the op-ed, and then objecting that the information was placed somewhere that the president could see it.

    A dear friend of mine who works for President Trump tells me he loves the guy, but that they all spend an inordinate amount of time stopping his worst impulses. He says he feels deeply betrayed by this op-ed because it will hurt all of their efforts to help the President do right

    Does autocorrect know something I don’t? Tried to write “I would think” and it suggested “I wanna puke.”

    This is such an interesting essay from Tom Griscom—who, in 1987, was among those asked to assess Reagan’s fitness to continue in office.

    Also someone who professes inside knowledge of Cabinet-level conversations (“early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment... but no one wanted to precipitate a Constitutional crisis.”)

    The Times op-ed author seems to be: a) A competent, even practiced, op-ed writer (or had help from one). b) A movement conservative ("free minds, free markets, and free people"). c) Thinks free trade important (Trump's "anti-trade and anti-democratic"). d) Foreign policy focused.

    “Trump was unable to process the public discussion of this moment as being about anything other than perceptions of him, that is, of his weakness, as refracted through the demented prism of Fox News coverage.” An argument by :

    Wow.

    Believe it or not, this marks the first time has ever made the cover of a major national newsmagazine. Never happened when she was the first woman speaker.

    When you scribble the president’s remarks so fast this is what you wind up with.

    In a way, the op-ed amounts to pro-administration messaging: “Don’t worry, we know he’s off his rocker but we’re on that and don’t forget the tax cuts.”

    One weird thing about this anon op-ed: If you're arguing your goal at WH is to calm Trump down, doesn't publishing this op-ed (particularly in NYT) accomplish the exact opposite?

    This is quite a read. Alleges there were “whispers” within the Cabinet of using the 25th Amendment to remove the president, but key aides felt it better to let him think he is president.

    With 99% of precincts reporting results, Ayanna Pressley has beaten Congressman Capuano by 18 points. 18 points is huge. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I didn’t see a single poll that even gave her a shot at victory.

    Puzzled why the culprit here is identified as "Twitter" when it describes a de facto strike by festival talent and pushback from Remnick's employees and contractors, all of whom wield very real economic power over Remnick's plans. This is a labor story.

    “In a decade of reporting on and visiting Iran, I had missed Ahmadinejad’s interest in American football ... He responded to criticism by changing the subject." Tweeting about Kaepernick, argues, is Ahmadinejad's effort at distraction:

    I say this as a marathoner: the main “character” thing we all have in common, aside from running long distances, is being insufferable in talking about it.

    Sen. Jeff Flake highlighting Kavanaugh running the Boston marathon twice as something "that says something about your character."

    The attacks today on my wife are repulsive. Everyone tweeting this vicious conspiracy theory should be ashamed of themselves. We weren’t even familiar with the hateful symbol being attributed to her for the random way she rested her hand during a long hearing. 1/3

    It may seem odd that a leading politician would demand attention by writing on Twitter about matters that don’t seem to concern him, but surprisingly, there are occasional parallels between Iran and the United States.
