From @DanCrenshawTX, a key read. I hope @realDonaldTrump asks the warriors in his own
party to go to WH to talk with him: Crenshaw and @RepGallagher from House, @SenTomCotton @SenJoniErnst @SenDanSullivan @SenToddYoung. Add @LindseyGrahamSC too. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2018/…
I know @LindseyGrahamSC isn’t a combat veteran like all the others (and I neglected to add soon to be Senator @MarthaMcSally) but Graham has spent years in the places where our troops deploy. This group is the best group of legislators to advise @realDonaldTrump on next steps.
And quick decision on new SecDef —@SenTomCotton or @JimTalent?— would keep focus on the border barrier and looming #SchumerShutdown.

I was at the breakfast briefing and this is the top line from ⁦@AmbJohnBolton⁩ (pretty sure 99% accurate thanks to colleagues with recorders): “A lot of the press coverage about the decisions on Syria kind of missed what the president had in mind.” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
“And certainly encompassed in that is it’s very clear we’re going to withdraw, we want protect american forces during the withdrawal period. But the president also expects we woyld be able to accomplish the destruction of the ISIS territorial caliphate
and other ISIS personnel and facilities that r potentially dangerous to us as we leave.
It’s also very important that as we discuss with members of the coalktion, other countries that have aninterest like isreal and turkey that we epxect that those who have fought w/us in Syria

Earlier this AM, @AmbJohnBolton told journalists traveling w/ him re timetable for w/drawal from Syria that “this is a cause and effect. Timetables or the timing of the withdrawal occurs as a result of the fulfillment of the conditions and establishment of the circumstances we
want to see.” In response to question re legal authority for maintaining US troops at Tanf, @AmbJohnBolton replied “Well I think there’s plenty of legal justification about concern for the resurgence of ISIS. But I’m a strong believer in Article II, and I think what that means is
the president has full authority to protect American and allied interests around the world.” @AmbJohnBolton also commented on passing of fmr SecDef Brown: “He was a great patriot who devotes most of his life to public service. You don’t have to agree w/someone all the time to see

From one of military buddies: "A couple points to consider about the Chang'i 4 landing. One, China's space program is controlled by the Party and by their military. There is no civilian aspect to it.
Second, the southern and norther poles of the moon are critical for a number of reasons. One is that there is water there in the form of ice in the permanent shadow of deep craters. This water will be important for building permanent bases on the moon.
Third, the poles are important military positions because there are places at the poles that can always look down on the earth with sensors and weapons. China's landing at the southern pole at the Aiken Basin is a key military strategic achievement.

Talk is Cheap. Anyone can go on TV to claim governance ‘genius’. Reality = different.

What you see here is a history of very poor mgt of strikes:

2011-2012: State Doctors on strike for 13 months

2011: Threats of review of employment of non-indigenes in Anambra Civil Service
Every day you see the candidate on TV but no one asks these vital questions. The ruling party has insisted on being judged by its 3.5 year record, same should apply to all opposition candidates. If you‘ve got a record, let’s discuss it.
As Governor for 8 years, somebody did not conduct LGA elections at all until it was almost time to leave office. I’m talking final months in office. If it was @elrufai that tried this in Kaduna we for no hear word. #WasDemocracyInDangerOrNot? #TalkIsCheap

@realDonaldTrump .@LindseyGrahamSC @ChuckGrassley @SpeakerRyan @GOPLeader @VP

I have have some questions

Why did 19 senior members of the Trump campaign lie about 80 contacts & 24 face to face meetings with the Russians

Why does any campaign have to meet with Russians
@realDonaldTrump @LindseyGrahamSC @ChuckGrassley @SpeakerRyan @GOPLeader @VP Why didn’t JR report the Russians when he read”this is part of Russia and its governments help for Mr Trump

Why didn’t anyone in the Trump campaign report any of the 32 meetings after the FBI warned them
@realDonaldTrump @LindseyGrahamSC @ChuckGrassley @SpeakerRyan @GOPLeader @VP Why does any campaign need to speak to Russia

Why did Trump call Papadopoulos a coffee boy he meet with 2 foreign heads of states

Why did you lie and tell us the Steele Dossier stared the investigation

"Hope Hicks" is trending as DNC Media digs deep into the bullpen and trots out news from months ago & puts a new spin on it.

@DonaldJTrumpJr released those emails HIMSELF.

This new narrative is beyond stupid.
At the 11th hour, they are going to float a Hail Mary narrative where HOPE HICKS produces the smoking gun about the PLOT to never release the Don Jr. emails that....Don Jr. himself released months ago.

Yes, they are doing this.

#BLUEWAVE2018: IF THERE'S ONE THING YOU DO TODAY, READ & WATCH THIS!

308 days til the 2018 Midterm Elections. It's time to talk about HOW we take back the House & Senate.

THE STRATEGY MUST BE TWO-FOLD:

1. DEFEND BLUE SEATS. #KeepItBlue
2. FLIP RED SEATS. #FlipItBlue

[THREAD]
#SENATE: DEMs are at a "disadvantage" and ON THE DEFENSE.

DEMOCRATS and Independents must DEFEND 25 SEATS.

REPUBLICANS must only DEFEND 9 SEATS.

For a Majority, DEMS MUST KEEP ALL SEATS...and #FLIP2 BLUE.
#SENATE: TRUMP WON 10 STATES w/ SEATS DEMs MUST DEFEND.

Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Florida, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

HILLARY WON 1 STATE GOP MUST DEFEND...Nevada.

See competitive races below. Made BEFORE Franken's open seat.

House Republicans are hoping to race massive changes into law before the American people see/1 #NotOnePenny #TaxScam
...it’s just another GOP multi-trillion dollar giveaway to the wealthiest at the expense of the middle class and working Americans/2
And while Republicans have been desperately hiding the details about their bill, we already know this much is true: /3
