The 5 Secrets of Effective Pull Requests

Should I keep going with writing this? But maybe ditch the horrendous listicle title?

Trump ordered the end of DACA and TPS. Then he shut down the government. Now he’s holding federal workers hostage, saying he'll temporarily give back what he took away—only if we give him a pointless, ineffective wall he falsely promised Mexico would pay for. This is a bad deal.

No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to https://t.co/ob1Ynoesod today and pass this on — you just might save a life.

@TDBank_US I've been trying to cancel my account since 2/9 and was already charged two fees while as I attempted to zero the balance. I'm having trouble due to your slow processing & customer service response times.

Secure messages to @etrade are not allowed to contain double quotes. How secure are their systems if they are afraid of "this"
