So everything is not on the table. PM’s offer of talks is a promise to listen, but only if we all agree with her. @theSNP won’t be complicit in more time wasting. Rule out no deal, be prepared to extend Art 50 and agree to at least consider another referendum – then we’ll talk. https://t.co/6ZRtoEfqxT

Speaking at the Pentagon, Trump briefly expresses "deepest condolences" to families of Americans killed yesterday in Syria, then quickly pivots to making an extended case for his border wall while bashing previous presidents.
Very bizarre & unbecoming of the commander in chief. pic.twitter.com/hzpKzKPtFo

The President of the United States just compared visiting our troops in a war zone to a "public relations event." Another sad day for our nation when that's how the Commander in Chief sees such a visit. https://t.co/I7F6jlJUBF

Internal campaign polls are a blueprint for the entire campaign. They test oppo research, self research, where to target etc etc

The board of JP Morgan Chase-claiming expertise in financial matters-believe it is appropriate to pay their CEO 525 times the average per capita income of a US family of four. In other words, he makes what they make in a year every 16 hrs. This is a moral failing in our society. https://t.co/GCz3GEQoQ4
