And there it is. The Coast Guard has folded, fixed the language and published a new policy. Tonight. Maybe they say my segments on @CNN with @abbydphillip. Either way, I think the two guys on the show with me tonight owe @washingtonpost (and me) an apology. Good this was
UPDATE2: Late this evening the Coast Guard published a new policy, dated Nov. 20, that re-establishes that it specifically sees swastikas and nooses as hate symbols - not as just āpotentially divisiveā and states that they are expressly prohibited. Importantly, it says the new

Trump on truth serum really undercuts a central GOP argument on the shutdown. For the most part Dems are not being blamed, as Republicans had hoped. So now thereās even less leverage to force them to compromise.
HERE is what trump just told senate republicans about last night. Trump thinks last night was bad for republicans and thinks the government has to open āimmediately.ā And he seems to believes the bad election results are directly related to the now 36-day shutdown.

Just emailed with Setti a few days ago. Iām so devastated by this news. Iām praying for his wife and children. Setti was such a bright light and a dear friend. We will miss him so much.
It's with profound sadness we share that Setti Warren, Director of the Institute of Politics, has passed away. Setti was a beloved member of our community, and we're devastated by this heartbreaking news.

Absolutely no one defended Venezuelaās regime at this table. Thatās a lie. Fentanyl is responsible for 70% of the drug overdose deaths in America. And 90% of it comes from Mexico, not Venezuela. Those are the facts.
Trump: Maybe we shouldnāt let Venezuela send drugs & terrorists to the United States. Nobody: Absolutely nobody: CNN: Come on Scott, is Venezuela really that bad? Even I still get surprised sometimes. š³

Congratulations to Ken on his newest book. One of the sharpest, most knowledge reporters on the dark influence game in Washington. Highly recommend.
I have a new book out tomorrow! It tells the story of the shadowy foreign interests paying well-connected Americans to influence our politics & government. I would be grateful if you would consider ordering it, & I would welcome your thoughts on it.

Trump said at rallies that heād do something like this, but it showed up in polls as a problem for him, so he used a Fox News town hall to say he wouldnāt have ātime for retribution.ā Per @axiosalex, Trump got the town hall topics in advance. https://t.co/kGxZ2Tl1tg
Phillip: I asked senator Tim Scott when he was on the show last year, is Trump just going to go after his political enemies? And he said, absolutely not.Ā And now I'm being told that this is what he campaigned on all along and that the American people affirmatively voted for him

The degree to which the algorithm on this platform is pushing video of the shooting is incredibly disturbing. There has to be some human that can turn the dial down in a situation like this.
