This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.

Give Trump a fair trial. And then convict him…

What people are missing: It’s not whether he had sex with her 17 years ago (of course he did), but whether he is lying about it today (of course he is). Liar, liar… #TrumpTrial #StormyDaniels

This is exactly correct:
“You can recover from bad policies, but you can’t recover from a bad heart,” Ms. Prevost said. “And Donald Trump has a bad heart.”

Four years ago, South Carolina changed the course of the Democratic race. This year, it could shock the nation and change the course of the Republican campaign. #scpol #NikkiHaley #DumpTrump

@TheTNHoller @nycjayjay They're already trying to launch a charter school in Charleston, SC called @AshleyRiverCA (h/t @sjbailey1060) https://t.co/zt02s1LI8T

@_emma_whalen @trdchicago Glad to see you back in print. Or whatever.

The Reggie Burgess Story is better than any fiction. Born into poverty to a mom who gave him away. The All-American athlete. The cop who in 34 years never once fired his gun. Who grew up to be the police chief. Who grew up to be the mayor. #chsnews #scpol https://t.co/9l4oICnpPG

@_emma_whalen @postandcourier Well done. The paper will miss you..

There’s no more critical issue facing Charleston than climate change. So there should be no more critical question for voters than deciding who they trust as mayor to lead the Mission Possible to save the city from the rising tides. #chsnws #scpol https://t.co/ZIcsOGhyYA

Russia fired missiles that destroyed 100 tons of peas and 20 tons of barley. Earlier this week, Ukraine said 60,000 tons of grain waiting to be loaded onto ships had been destroyed, enough to feed more than 270,000 people for a year, according to World Food Program. #Ukraine

“This Book Is Gay” is a good example of the adage that you can’t judge a book by its cover. Sometime you have to actually read it to know “This Book Does Not Belong in the Library.” Not for kids, anyway. #chsnews #scpol #BookBanning #ThisBookIsGay https://t.co/qiG27XCs4F

The campaign for mayor of Charleston is just beginning, but Cogswell’s 400 words about crime in the Mercury say something worrisome about his political instincts and his grasp on the facts — or his willingness to distort them. #chsnews #scpol #Charleston https://t.co/Rnd7tczIB9
