Trump's two (ill-advised) reasons for launching the #Iran war, per @TomRtweets: - He was emboldened by the successful operation to capture @NicolasMaduro - @netanyahu convinced him the Iranians would cave under a joint U.S.-Israeli air assault (they didn't)

Cropping a journalist's headline in a misleading way is a new low. Show some respect!

I hate the normalizing of treating reporters like shit. If Newsom wants to move the country on from Trump, he and his team should stop copying these sorts of awful tactics.
🚨🚨EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: What about that @GavinNewsom dyslexia disgnosis - can the gov. provide any paperwork related to his dyslexia diagnosis at any time of his life? Newsom’s comms team just now tells me to “fuck off.” Think @GavinNewsom’s comms team is losing it today?
