Every President wants to get the troops home as soon as possible. But the total disconnect—so highly public—between the President and his top advisers on strategy to the ISIS threat to national security stunned Washington. https://t.co/LoYK3S1Z0o

One person died tonight at Trump Tower in a fire on the 50th floor. I would expect the fact that the upper floors do not have sprinklers is going to be the subject of some scrutiny in the coming days.

Fire at Trump Tower. A resident died. Four @FDNY firefighters were injured. No sprinklers in residences. The president claimed the fire was out when it wasn’t, bragged about his “well-built” building and went to dinner at his DC hotel. pic.twitter.com/15wPUDCyeq

Here's the truth: Pruitt claims he needed to fly first class because of threats, but only did so when taxpayers were footing the bill. When he's traveled on his dime, he's flown in coach. Sometimes he's used one of his subordinate's frequent flier miles to do so. https://t.co/R64pCkVrTi

The right think out of the wreckage of a hard brexit will come an unfettered free market, the left think out it will come the People’s Socialist State of Britain. But I reckon we’ll just end up skint, like a badly run nursing home,or Cuba without the sunshine and cigars.
