Twitter released a statement Thursday evening saying an employee had “inadvertently deactivated” President Trump’s personal twitter account.

The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored.

  • Donna Brazile: Clinton campaign rigged the DNC. Donna Brazile, the former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, wrote a scathing tell-all in Politico, accusing Hillary Clinton’s campaign of controlling the DNC for her advantage and keeping it on financial “life support.” Why it matters: Brazile is accusing Hillary Clinton and her campaign of “rigging the system” to ensure she would become the party’s presidential nominee (not Bernie Sanders). And Brazile argues that it “compromised the party’s integrity” during an election in which everyone has since been focused on Russian meddling to help Donald Trump’s campaign. President Trump tweeted in response Thursday night: “Donna Brazile just stated the DNC RIGGED the system to illegally steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders. Bought and paid for by Crooked H…This is real collusion and dishonesty. Major violation of Campaign Finance Laws and Money Laundering – where is our Justice Department?

— Frank is president of the American Principles Project – APP has been heavily involved in the VA-13 race featuring a transgender man against a longtime family values champion Bob Marshall. Some specifics on the race:

The Bob Marshall/Danica Roem in VA-13 is an important race that may determine how Republicans approach the gender ideology issue going forward. It’s a winning issue, even if Republican consultants don’t know it yet.

When voters learn about Roem’s support for radical education policies that would force young girls to shower with boys and learn about transgenderism as young as five, they are outraged.

Around 30% of Democrats say they are less likely to vote for Roem when they learn about these policies. Through APP’s efforts in VA-13, we are flipping many of these voters.
