@MarkGPatterson @kirawontmiss Except that Danny Meyer did this in nyc and it failed. Among other things, he lost servers. And customers were put out that the prices went up.

@gotochelle It will be prospective only is my guess.

@jdawsey1 Husband’s question: how did he know he was going to fail when he wrote the letter? Did he write it after his attempt and before he was arrested?

Donald Trump was asked today if he would commit to prioritizing legislation to make childcare affordable, and if so, what specific legislation he would advance.

This is an unedited transcript of his response:

Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, and I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so, uh, impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that, because, look, child care is child care is. Couldn't, you know, there's something, you have to have it – in this country you have to have it.

But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to — but they'll get used to it very quickly – and it's not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Uh, those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care.

We're gonna have - I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with, uh, the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about.

We're gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care, uh, is talked about as being expensive, it's, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we'll be taking in. We're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people, but we're going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It's about Make America Great Again, we have to do it because right now we're a failing nation, so we'll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question. Thank you.

@aliciaandrz Travel stuff. I look at Paris hotels and apartments and make notes about where I might want to stay next. Look up and choose a recipe for tomorrow’s dinner. Text with friends. Watch Netflix. Get in touch with friends to make lunch plans for whenever. Check out my library online.

@emilykmay Wow. I don’t understand all the “drove myself to the hospital” posts. Why not an ambulance or even a husband/partner (if there is one) to take care of you? Is this what motherhood requires? The stories made me sad for the lack of care for women.

@AttorneyCPA @RonFilipkowski Is there somewhere we can read Roberta Kaplan’s response?

@MikeSington The very best to you. Diagnosed with Stage 3 20 years ago. Had all the treatments. Still here at 70.
