Dear @realDonaldTrump: I think you might not know that the person prosecutors identify as Individual-1, who committed multiple felonies, is you.
You may want to read the court filings today. https://t.co/w7gn0kazzw

Just in: WH chief of staff John Kelly "is expected to resign in the coming days," @kaitlancollins reports, citing two sources. Trump and Kelly "have stopped speaking in recent days." And "Trump is actively discussing a replacement plan."

“Mr. Kelly and Mr. Trump have grown weary of with each other. But Mr. Trump, according to several senior administration officials and people close to him, has so far been unable to bring himself to personally fire a retired four-star military general.” https://t.co/tqctUhpy3K

Today wasn’t a search for truth, but a desperate attempt to find anything that can be used to attack the institutions of justice investigating this president. They came up empty today but will try again. In the long run, it'll make no difference because facts are stubborn things.

Dear NBC, you are doing it again. This is not some minor media criticism or partisan complaint. You have become a vector for an obviously lie. You seriously have to cut it out. https://t.co/AaqOlHeWUG

What a tragic figure Corbyn makes,blandly ignoring difficult issues & spouting platitudes.He surrounds himself with racists & marxist opportunists, his cabinet is callow & useless.He could have gone down in history as the man who saved his country from brexit but he won’t.

I don’t care if I appear weak, but I‘m crying. I’m done. Brexit has been a hard road as an Irish citizen. Who on earth are these people? What disdain do they have for us? Calling to starve the Irish to solve the Border? For the first time, I want to leave. https://t.co/8zH1CYnroB

It’s not a ‘big win’, you utter balloon. It’s a massive loss for every single British citizen for generations to come. And, as you well know, it’s why we have no hope of emulating Norway/Switzerland-type deals. https://t.co/gkYwSS5hjl

WORLD
In an instant Europe has gone from being the most stable region in the world to anything but. Paris is burning, the Merkel era is ending, Italy is playing a dangerous game of chicken with the EU, Russia is carving up Ukraine, and the UK is consumed by Brexit. History is resuming.
