One of the ineradicable things we have learned about Boris Johnson over the reaction to the London Bridge murders is his core instincts are contemptible. Read this article by Jack Merritt’s father Dave. Jack would have held Johnson’s attitude in contempt. https://t.co/qlYy2kZ34E

NATO is central to American security in a troubled world. It is a political alliance of democracies with a formidable military capability. Their military budget is larger than Russia and China combined. Trump is wrecking NATO and embracing Putin. https://t.co/EtYLF6LTTa
