Trump Learned How to Thread Tweets, But He Already Screwed It Up

Since he was elected president, Donald Trump has become a big believer in the multi-part tweet. But he never threaded his tweets to make sure that they all stayed together. Until today, that is.

Kellyanne Conway: We Can be Watched by ‘Microwaves That Turn Into Cameras’

Kellyanne Conway, on a couch littered with embroidered throw pillows, told Bergen Record columnist Mike Kelly that we can all be surveilled by “microwaves that turn into cameras.” This, according to one of Trump’s most distinguished fabulists, is “just a fact of modern life.” Pardon me while I have an aneurysm.
