@therecount Actually isn’t this closer to the definition of obstruction, which I assume he’s fairly familiar with?

@kchoudhu And you thought House Bolton was only going to write a tell-all book and leave it at that?

[Karl Paulson Egbert @KarlEgbert]

@kchoudhu Yes-but that logistical expertise needs funding and stability, or you get systems failures.

We’re experiencing USPS delays in my own neighborhood— I realize that’s an anecdote, but I don’t think my postal carrier has herself lost expertise— she just can’t function with the cuts.

@IvanTheK Would you have taken the over or under on this particular quantum of disaster-ness?

[Karl Paulson Egbert @KarlEgbert]

@SMTuffy @SkeleCap Ive been to Sturgis, and yeah, it’s messy, but a lot of it is outside and a lot of the bikers are bank managers from Des Moines— I saw worse behavior at London holiday parties.

@TJPayne3333 Years after a botched plastic surgery, the White House had seen better days.

@SMTuffy Isn’t that really what a summary prospectus is? This is going to try to do the same thing for periodic reporting.

[Karl Paulson Egbert @KarlEgbert]

@vanitaguptaCR Ok. What concretely is he going to do about it?

[Karl Paulson Egbert @KarlEgbert]

@ROIChristie No, no, no. It’s a composite that more accurately reflects the investment strategy.

@Enforce_Update @Julie_DiMauro @ComplianceLearn Maybe the staff is more efficient working from home, too?

[Karl Paulson Egbert @KarlEgbert]

@ccpecknold But we certainly should run our societies trying to solve for unknowns where it’s possible.

[Karl Paulson Egbert @KarlEgbert]

@ccpecknold I do wish we understood the rate of permanent lung damage for survivors—I suspect it’s also low for children, but these unknowns are difficult for parents.

[Karl Paulson Egbert @KarlEgbert]

@vanitaguptaCR Is there any nationwide law requiring federal law enforcement to display badge numbers, etc? What’s the remedy for violations of posse comitatus?

We now have more detail about how the HK National Security Law will be implemented-- new regulations define what powers the HK Police have with respect to forfeiture of property, removal of messages and interception of communications.

@Tbaitis @SportsbyBrooks The GI Bill included low-cost mortgages. A lack of housing led to riots by returning service members after the war, so naturally the bill addressed that. But a combination of redlining along with other entrenched forms of racism meant that Black GIs didn’t benefit.

With the HK Autonomy Act creating a sanctions process, what comes next? The law builds-in a "cooling off" period before sanctions must be implemented, but gives the President discretion to act sooner. https://t.co/S6uEcA9pmI

How's the HK National Security Law actually work? Here's what we know... https://t.co/h3t5mrUyVc

@SMTuffy [said in Scottish accent]: “I can’t SOFR any more of this.”

@_SidVerma “Hurry up with my damn croissants” should be understood as an expression of frustration with the slow pace of change to the Accredited Investor definition.

If you like your in-laws and have a family office, the new Volcker re-vamp allows them to be family office clients.

But there's a problem: you'd have to register with the SEC as an investment adviser, because in-laws *aren't* permitted by the SEC's family office exclusion.
