If the DUP want to leave the EU but maintain the same regulatory framework as the rest of GB they could have voted for a soft Brexit option (CU+SM) last night. Instead they voted for a variety of no deal- which we know would divide society and crash the economy here. Why?

I say this to the President, and his defenders in Congress:
You may think it’s okay how Trump and his associates interacted with Russians during the campaign.
I don’t.
I think it’s immoral. I think it’s unethical. I think it’s unpatriotic. And yes, I think it’s corrupt. pic.twitter.com/nTdgRVfssQ

Reality check: Trump does not have the power to authorize funding of the Special Olympics — only Congress does. The proposal to strip its funding came from the draft budget his administration submitted to Congress, which was likely to be disregarded anywayhttps://t.co/CVRsTs2BDA
