Worried? naaah…
Ahead of tonight's Democratic debate, President Trump's campaign has purchased a banner ad on the masthead of YouTube — a space that can cost as much as $1 million for 24 hours.
It's one of the most high-profile places to advertise online. https://t.co/ZEdOoWUgD9

With news that Mueller will testify in open session on Wednesday, July 17 (h/t @NatashaBertrand)
Here's what I wrote with @AshaRangappa_ @jgeltzer:
"What Congress Should Ask Robert Mueller When He Testifies"https://t.co/8BDvHh39ln#MuellerHearing

The irony is that Mueller had evidence Trump committed multiple crimes, but chose not to accuse him our of a sense of fairness and a commitment to justice & the rule of law. https://t.co/MLAo7T8crL

Trump has opened the door to House questioning that will leave Bob Mueller no alternative but to demolish GOP efforts to accuse him of wrongdoing and to tarnish his entire inquiry with blatant lies about his handling of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Dumb! https://t.co/syft7K1eyL

BREAKING: The Senate has approved a bipartisan $4.6 billion border bill, with fewer curbs on Trump immigration policies than were in the House-passed plan. The next step is unclear. https://t.co/lBDksFDLWt

Immigration activists will unload on Obama anytime you ask them to. They also know what Trump is doing is way worse, because he wants things to be way worse. https://t.co/eVomzmnAZ9

This is Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez + his 23 month old daughter Valeria. Yesterday their bodies were found on the banks of the Rio Grande River. They drowned trying to get to the United States.

24 hours ago, if you Googled “Boris Bus” or checked out a #BorisBus hashtag you’d get the photo of him in front of the bus with the “We give £350m per week to the EU, Let’s spend that on the NHS” lie on it.

In the interests of balance, today Sky News gave us a Brexit debate between David Henig, a former international trade negotiator, and Mark Francois, a sort of semi sentient turnip whose closest scrape with glory was losing a staring contest to Will Self.pic.twitter.com/UtFie5g4up

To clarify, there isn't the slightest hope of the UK leaving the EU on 31 October, other than with no deal.
So we have to assume, @DUPLeader, that the DUP now supports no deal.
Businesses, farmers and many many others in NI will be very interested to hear that… https://t.co/NM0goEzoky

Perhaps this is true, I don’t know. What I do know is that advisers advise and leaders made decisions. We desperately need a clear decision on this. Ultimately, that’s down to Jeremy Corbyn. https://t.co/a5BfzwRYXO

No word I've come across better sums up Brexit than "Zugzwang". The German chess term for when you are compelled to move, but where all potential moves are disadvantageous and you just cannot win.
