What anonymous "senior official" would quote an anonymous "a top official" in their own oped? Put me in the "not impressed" column for now. Would have been way more powerful with a byline: "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" https://t.co/hkKeuITzbM

An undercovered piece of this: POTUS’s fierce denunciation of the NYT and the op-ed was loudly applauded by the 40+ sheriffs visiting the WH this afternoon. They are supposed to be leaders, not puppets who cheer attacks on the media. A shameful scene. https://t.co/ds6jUL83Lc

No, anonymous Trump official, you're not 'part of the resistance.' You're a coward https://t.co/jcRL2VKU8F

.@JamieGangel on @CNN: "In DC, nothing stays a secret. Eventually I think we're going to know who wrote this." @DanaBashCNN: "I just got a text from somebody in and around Trumpworld who suspects that it's somebody who WANTS to eventually be known, and be known as a hero."

It's the same play as the "Committee to Save America" leaks, and Paul Ryan saying "I avoided that tragedy, I avoided that tragedy, I avoided that tragedy." Loot the country, then fake-atone for losing their way under Trump. https://t.co/L2tvQTO4P2

If the author of the NYT had used his/her/their name, all we'd be talking about is who they are, where they grew up, their entire career resume, who else they ever worked for, and where they are now.
The message of the oped itself would be completely lost. /1

"Mr. Trump erupted in anger after reading the Op-Ed article" the @nytimes reports — without any attribution, other than noting that "John F. Kelly… and other aides scurried in and out of the press office trying to figure out how to respond." https://t.co/eNH17c5hIg

Chuck Grassley complains about senators "playing politics with a qualified nominee" like Brett Kavanaugh, who distinguished himself on the US Court of Appeals in DC.

He's going to be *heartbroken* when he learns what happened to Merrick Garland, chief judge of that same court.
