@Budget What’s going on at your counter in Rekjavik? Super slow!

Morning @MackieMet and @KevinAppleby_ any thoughts on this from our local U Albany?

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.

A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.

In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.

Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.

This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.

🚨Nancy Mace and Debbie Wasserman Schultz getting escorted through TSA …

… bypassing the lines the rest of us are stuck in.

No wonder Americans are fed up with Congress.

Just because you can skip the line doesn’t mean you should.

This may turn into another George Floyd incident. The woman driver was murdered not because she posed a threat, but because an agent was mad she disobeyed his orders. Was there any probable cause to order her from the vehicle? Doesn’t look that way. Witnesses: this is murder.

A US citizen was shot and killed by ICE in Minneapolis today. There's no sugarcoating this; the President's security theater just cost someone their life.

Her family is grieving an unimaginable loss. We need a full investigation, and ICE needs the same accountability we demand from all law enforcement. There are no exceptions.

Dear Liberals,

You and I are not friends.

We disagree on everything from abortion to the Second Amendment. Your belief system is abhorrent to nearly every personal and political value I hold.

That said, you did try to warn us about Trump.

You screamed and yelled from the mountaintops that he was not what he presented himself to be, and I, like many, refused to listen.

I mocked you. I laughed at you when he won. I felt entitled to his victory because I dedicated eight years of my life to his campaign.

My eyes are now open.

This is not the man I voted for.

When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong.

I am sorry.

I apologize.

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

I’m a doctor who has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong, irresponsible, and actively makes Americans sicker.

We need to understand the real causes of autism. Studies show there’s a genetic predisposition when a mom who’s pregnant is exposed to environmental toxins which can increase a child’s risk of autism. It’s deeply troubling that, according to HHS officials, they appeared to have canceled hundreds of millions in research on autism genetics. Redirecting attention to factors we definitely know DO NOT cause autism denies families the answers they deserve.

We had two children die and many more hospitalized nationally from measles this year. Louisiana is experiencing its worst whooping cough outbreak in 35 years. Families are getting sick and people are dying from vaccine-preventable deaths, and that tragedy needs to stop.

if you let the brains go and the bigotry go and the integrity go and the decency go, pretty soon you get the worst Defense Secretary anyone can remember

Hey @AlliantCU can you get your “back office” and customer service to work together? I never get a resolution or answer when I call or chat! Do better!

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

You deserve a break on Sundays that doesn’t break the bank.

Perfectly expressed!

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

American President raises taxes on Americans across a wide range of goods; European Union President announces tax cuts for Europeans across a narrow range of goods.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

These trade deals are all underwhelming for one simple reason: While trade barriers were a big deal in Trump's youth, they've been tiny for decades. When tariffs are 1-2%, there's not much to gain from a trade war.

But you can do a lot of harm by charging Americans a 15% (or higher) import tax.

“This is simply not only incompatible with Catholic teaching, it’s inhumane and is morally repugnant.”

— Cardinal Robert McElroy, the Archbishop of Washington, DC, on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
