    Nope, Joan. No edit feature. Lots of crap no one asked for. Which is pretty much par for the course.

    This assumes the main use of Twitter is for momentous political pronouncements. When most of us just wanna correct spelling mistakes. Is this what thinks?

    Wouldn’t an edit function allow someone to make a tweet, get a bunch of replies and likes, then go back and completely edit the tweet to say anything they wanted? Including the opposite of their original text? This seems to be a bad idea. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Really think about this. These were written answers given by the President of the United States to federal investigators. His answers were incomplete. He didn't answer some questions at all. He was not truthful. Don't we deserve better from an American president?

    0:50
    Rep. Demings: "Isn't it fair to say that the president's written answers were not only inadequate and incomplete, because he didn't answer many of your questions, but where he did, his answers showed that he wasn't always being truthful?" Mueller: "I would say generally."

    It's finally happened. I went to walk my dog and came back to New Twitter. All I want to know: Is there an edit feature?

    The NYT headline about a "halting delivery," Chuck Todd's thoughts on "optics," reporters bemoaning the lack of fireworks, WaPo's movie review of the hearing—this is how the media gave us Trump. It is *not* how they'd have covered this hearing if it happened in a foreign country.

    Mueller’s report is damning and his testimony confirmed its most damning aspects on camera for those who didn’t read it. The type that debases our national life by covering politics like a sport calls it a disappointment because sober professionalism lacks the air of spectacle.

    If you want to understand how much the putatively objective press has internalized Trump’s own metrics for evaluating public events, check out these headlines treating a hearing where Mueller all but said the president is unprosecuted felon as a lackluster Rolling Stones reunion

    I am blown away by Trump's success in blowing away the correct coverage: how Mueller's afternoon testimony was much more devastating than the morning. All about optics again. SAD!

    The two exchanges that matter most: Schiff got Mueller to confirm outlines of Trumpworld's efforts to coordinate with "sweeping" attack on our democracy Nadler got Mueller to debunk "total exoneration" lie Rest is noise. New from and me:

    What's amazing about watching Trump right now is that for all the "book is better than the movie" takes, he actually was the guy who needed to see it on TV to believe it was real.

    I really hope my colleagues cover this meltdown the way it deserves, because it is a cavalcade of delusion, lies and crazy.

    After claiming previously that Robert Mueller exonerated him, President Trump says today that Mueller doesn’t have the right to exonerate.
