Empty top-level positions aren't unique to President #Trump. #States have a surprising number of #vacancies at the top -- often filled by "acting" officials. https://t.co/zwaNZ1C5mM @NASCIO @NASPE @KatyCoba @ASPANational @hrmagazine @sallyselden @statemedicaid

CT is considering cutting the NRA out of it's gun permitting process. “It is both unnecessary and unacceptable for the NRA to have such status in Connecticut law. As a result, residents are effectively required to subsidize the NRA and its agenda.” https://t.co/FTaHshiqRi

Of the 12 governors who have won a third term since 1990, we found that half remained popular, five had mediocre third terms and one had a truly awful final act. https://t.co/VdS1g3zMCM

Some notable moments: Legislators in suits and ties with backward hats on their heads, some strange and jerky hand movements approximating dance moves and a few hilariously deadpan deliveries. Twitter had strong opinions. https://t.co/h9WMi0RFCH https://t.co/NDxtFVysdK
