EXCLUSIVE: Trump is demanding a high-profile surrender to NY authorities. “He wanted a perp walk, he wanted daylight hours,” one source tells @RollingStone . “He wants to get out of the vehicle and walk up the stairs.”https://t.co/CxcFY16W96

The real question: will Trump opt for the grimace or the grin for his mugshot. Trump is famously a fan of gangster movies, so he may opt for the tough expression of a mafioso. But he also may want to appear unphased, and thus prefer to express amused playfulness. Tough call. pic.twitter.com/L0NecCmw3I

Real missed opportunity from 60 Minutes. Leslie Stahl could’ve at least asked Marjorie Taylor Greene if she still believes that JFK Jr was murdered by Hillary Clinton.
MTG said this five years ago at a political conference, so it seems like fair game to ask about. https://t.co/YHoO4FUToR

Fox is in deep
The timeline of events related to Jeanine Pirro's show, as revealed by the Dominion lawsuit, is unbelievably damning for Fox News. They put on someone they knew was irresponsible to say things they knew were false.

Meanwhile, at Twitter
For years, journalists and researchers have had access to free or low cost tools to analyze Twitter accounts and conversations.
Many of these tools are now in jeopardy due to recently announced changes from Twitter.
