Michael Avenatti told the Washington Examiner he is again considering a run at the Oval Office.
“I agree with Steve Bannon,” Avenatti said Saturday when asked if he was mulling another White House bid in 2020. That was a reference to the former White House chief strategist stating last year that Avenatti is a “fighter” who could defeat President Trump in an election because he resembles an outsider candidate that poses a threat to the president.

Former Vice President Joe Biden misstated the locations of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, while speaking to donors at a high-dollar fundraiser in San Diego on Sunday night.
Biden, 76, mistakenly referred to the shootings as “the tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before,” but later corrected himself, according to a pool report.
Biden seemingly confused Houston for El Paso and Michigan for Ohio when speaking to donors about the shootings.

The Ohio gunman described himself on social media as a pro-Satan “leftist” who wanted Joe Biden’s generation to die off, hated President Trump and law enforcement, and hoped to vote for Sen. Elizabeth Warren for president.
“I want socialism, and i’ll not wait for the idiots to finally come round to understanding,” he wrote in one tweet, according to Heavy.com.
The Twitter account painted a picture of a left-wing anarchist and discontent, very far from the anti-immigration manifesto posted by Saturday’s El Paso gunman. Though he had a fascination for guns, Betts also was a fan of gun control and blamed Republicans for school shootings.
But as of Sunday, Dayton police said they had no proof of Betts‘ motive.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Monday, suggesting tighter gun control laws linked with immigration reform in response to the shooting attacks over the weekend in Texas and Ohio that killed 29 and wounded dozens more.
“Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform,” Trump tweeted as he prepared to address the nation.
“We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!” Trump wrote.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conveyed his condolences to the American people on Sunday night after back-to-back mass shootings rocked the cities of El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend.
“In the past 24 hours, we have witnessed two murderous attacks in Texas and Ohio,” he wrote on Twitter. “On behalf of all government ministers and all citizens of Israel, I send condolences to the bereaved families, best wishes for recovery to the injured, and solidarity with the American people.”
Patrick Crusius, 21, has been charged with opening fire in a crowded Walmart in the Texas border town of El Paso on Saturday, killing 29 people and wounding dozens more. Crusius published a manifesto prior to the attack decrying the “Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

In a nationwide address from the White House, President Trump called to enact “swift” death penalty sentences for mass murderers, tightening of gun controls, clamping down on “gruesome” video games and dealing with mental illness.
President Trump said he was ordering new laws to ensure perpetrators of mass killings are swiftly executed.
“Today, I am directing the Department of Justice to propose legislation ensuring that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the death penalty and that this capital punishment be delivered quickly, decisively, and without years of needless delay,” he said in the televised address.

President Trump on Monday called for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to work closely with social media companies to identify potential mass shooters in remarks that largely focused on how technology can enable real-world violence.
During a speech in which the president condemned white supremacy and hatred following two mass shootings this weekend in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, Trump said the internet plays an important role in radicalizing mass shooters.
“The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate,” Trump said. “We must recognize that the internet has provided a dangerous avenue to radicalize disturbed minds and perform demented acts.”

A San Francisco-based web company announced Sunday it would no longer provide services to 8chan, a website notorious for hosting lawless message boards where manifestos have appeared before mass shootings.
The move came after a screed against immigrants was posted to 8chan shortly before a mass shooter killed 20 and wounded 26 at an El Paso Walmart and shopping center. Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare, a firm that protects sites from cyber attacks, said he decided to drop 8chan because it “has repeatedly proven itself to be a cesspool of hate.”
