The role of consoler in chief is utterly beyond Trump. It’s hard to envision him delivering a moving eulogy, as presidents before him have done. He channels and elicits anger, but he has no compassion to provide. https://t.co/6uuVqr3ivu

We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change.

If Kim Jong Il were still alive, he'd be turning 77 today. The day is still celebrated by the North Korean regime as the "Day of the Shining Star" – another way it perpetuates the Kim personality cult. https://t.co/Fs3NV9irEq pic.twitter.com/XkUIGMw1oX

IMF's Christine Lagarde tells Leavers: "The experts were right, Brexit is already badly damaging the UK's economy. The numbers we are seeing today are actually proving the point we made a year and a half ago, when people said we were too gloomy."#FBPE

Be positive? Be positive?. If you were in the passenger seat of a car that was hurtling towards a brick wall at 90 miles an hour and the driver told you to be positive rather than turning the wheel, any sensible person would say fuck off, wouldn’t they? #positive #brexit
