Just left the briefing.
The bottom line is this: I did not hear evidence of a specific imminent threat that would allow an attack without congressional authorization.
With consequences as serious as these, that is unacceptable.
Congress needs to act.
Three of Iran's top strategic goals were the following:
-Get US troops out of Iraq
-Get rid of limits on Iran's nuclear program
-Get its people to rally behind the Iranian government
The decisions by @realDonaldTrump delivered all three goals to Iran.
I don’t know why so many of my colleagues are reluctant to say in print or on the air what many of us saw in the room during today’s Iran speech.
@realDonaldTrump appeared sedated.
He slurred his speech and had trouble pronouncing words.
He sniffed constantly.
Why?
Cashier #1: “Can I help you?”
Me: How long would it take to get a turkey burger to go?
Cashier #1: “About 5 minutes”
Cashier #2: “Are you Tony Hawk?”
Me: yes
Cashier #1: “Do you want a turkey burger then?”
Me: yes please, and an iced tea
Cashier #1: “Can I get a name?”
Another great day of water quality testing! Mina (front & center) delegated and the rest of us recorded pH, turbidity, and temp (among other things) and counted macroinvertebrates in the stream! #pecfellows#practicum@TroutUnlimited
On Friday we had the chance to attend a planning commission hearing for Clarke County! It was informative/interesting and it was such a pleasure to learn a bit more about how they’ve worked to preserve the natural beauty of the land! #PECfellows
This is @ben_and_thejets using Google Earth to identify the streams of highest priority for our water quality tests!! We’re v excited to know where we’re going now. Go Ben! #PECfellows
Spending today getting started on a #streammonitoring project with my trusty partner @ben_and_thejets! Excited to explore the correlation between water quality and trout presence @chesapeakebay#PECFellows
SCOOP: Park Service has diverted $2.5 million in fees --normally used to improve parks around the country -- for Trump's July Fourth extravaganza as White House hands out VIP tickets to donors and Trump's campaign staff, W/@jdawsey1 and @DanLamothe https://t.co/zRsCtifxrW
Our national parks belong to every American. Trump is raiding funds meant to improve our cherished lands and wasting them on this ludicrous vanity parade.
Had a great time learning about geographic information systems (GIS) and then making a map of historic resources within view of Short Hill Mountain with @kschmidtmann1!! #pecfellows learning and then putting our newfound wisdom to use! #Loudoun#GIS#learningsomethingnew
