I enjoyed the recent @Marketplace feature on delivery bikes, but cities in Europe have already proven their effectiveness. I've got a bike distribution center down the street that has a huge daily volume of packages.

🇩🇪 🥳 If it's your birthday in Germany, you bring your own cake to the office or party. 🎂 B.Y.O.C (bring your own cake) can be a bit jarring for Americans who are accustomed to receiving a cake on their birthday. You still get presents, don't worry! 🎁 🇩🇪

The @astros have now won 100+ games in 3 straight seasons.

The last team to do that was the 2002-04 @Yankees.

Eric called me and said let’s write a song called “desperate man.” I said I was so desperate one time I went to a fortune teller to get my future read & she said I didn’t have one. So 50/50.

Huge news for Texas and our future economy. Glidepath announces 149 MW Wind portfolio to compliment energy storage goals to power homes even when the wind doesn't blow! This was made possible by the intersection of good policy and market forces. #txlege https://t.co/qHtBYWorhw

Did you know that the famous painting “Washington Crossing the Delaware” was painted in Germany? Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze was born in Southern Germany, grew up in the US, then returned to Germany in 1841 for art school.

Reagan took the deficit from 70 billion to 175 billion. 
Bush 41 took it to 300 billion. 
Clinton got it to zero. 
Bush 43 took it from 0 to 1.2 trillion.
Obama halved it to 600 billion. 
Trump’s got it back to a trillion.

Morons: “Democrats cause deficits.”

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

Trump wants us to meet asylum seekers with walls and cages. We're going to meet them with a hand, a meal, and the best values and traditions of a nation comprised of refugees and immigrants from the world over.

It appears most of the folks down on the National Mall won’t be able to get very close to the tanks and military vehicles down by the Lincoln Memorial. That area is behind a lot of fencing and security (accessible to VIP’s and other ticketed guests).
