Trump's campaign manager tweeted a dramatic photo of Air Force One at Daytona, saying ".@realDonaldTrump won the #Daytona500 before the race even started."
The shot was of George W. Bush's plane leaving in 2004. Parscale deleted three hours later.

Journalism can be terrible to its elders. Their bylines fade or they're bought out or quietly retire. When they stop the presses do not. Blatch is giving that idea the finger. She demands tribute. Thought about flashing people, but wrote this instead.

So basically if more people turn out for you but in fewer places you lose? Even if you have more voters? What's the thinking on that?
Each precinct caucus is given a certain number of delegates so you can swamp a site w thousands but only get a certain amount of delegates. Those who voted for candidates not meeting the % threshold can also move to other candidates.
I am legitimately confused.
Is it the case that (so far at least) @BernieSanders got more votes but @PeteButtigieg is winning in Iowa?
And, if so, how?
Thanks for your answers!

Trump and his Republican enablers believe the power of the presidency exists to reward the loyal, not the deserving. It’s not just foreign aid—they’re doling out farm and transportation aid to red states with seemingly little regard for merit.

Opinion | Pompeo Called Me a Liar. Thats Not What Bothers Me.
nytimes.com
Previously, @tomscheck has looked at Klobuchar's time as a prosecutor. She relied on grand juries to charge cops — seen today as avoiding accountability — and shied from getting between police and diverse communities during a violent time in Minneapolis. apmreports.org/story/2019/03/…
Klobuchar didn't prosecute controversial police killings or brutality cases as a county attorney
apmreports.org
Amy Klobuchar has told a story throughout her political career: A little girl killed by a stray bullet while doing homework in her dining room. It was Klobuchar's office that put Tyesha Edwards' killer behind bars.
But what if Myon Burrell is innocent? mprnews.org/story/2020/01/…
But what if Myon Burrell is innocent? mprnews.org/story/2020/01/…
Amy Klobuchar's office successfully prosecuted the case of a black teen accused in the shooting death of a girl. But an @AP investigation has uncovered new evidence and inconsistencies, raising questions about whether Myon Burrell was wrongfully convicted mprnews.org/story/2020/01/…

"Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?" Pompeo's remarkable exchange with @NPRKelly, one of the absolute best journalists in the business. npr.org/2020/01/24/799…
Transcript: NPR's Full Interview With Secretary Of State Mike Pompeo
n.pr/2RLkihO
n.pr/2RLkihO
The coda to @NPRKelly's interview with @SecPompeo is shocking. As described on @npratc: He screamed, swore at her, and said she couldn't find Ukraine on a map. He ordered staffers to bring a blank map. She pointed to Ukraine and thanked him for his time.
npr.org/2020/01/24/798…
npr.org/2020/01/24/798…
NPR's @NPRKelly tells @arishapiro this about Mike Pompeo interview: "I was taken to the Secretary's private living room where he was waiting and where he shouted at me for about same amount of time as the interview itself. He was not happy to have been questioned about Ukraine."
Documents requested by MinnPost under the MN Data Practices were improperly/illegally erased by the Department of Corrections. Kind of makes it harder to cover the government.
