Christopher Hale @chrisjollyhale - For the first time ever, the most famous American in the world is not the president or a Hollywood icon or tech billionaire — it’s the pope.
This is more than a Catholic triumph; it’s a cultural watershed for the United States.
In a society that often equates American influence with might or money or celebrity, now our foremost representative on the global stage is a humble man in a white cassock, preaching love, justice, and mercy.
It suggests that America’s greatest export might not be our entertainment or weaponry, but our capacity for idealism and moral vision.
My argument in @TIME:

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer - Republicans keep defending their SNAP cuts as "reducing fraud, waste, and abuse."
Which category does a hungry child fall under?
Are they waste? Are they fraud? Or are they abuse?

Clandestine @WarClandestine - Hear me out
What if Trump just negotiated a new deal with Iran, without Netanyahu?
Trump visited the red arrows near Iran’s border in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE.
Now we get news Iran are willing to give up their nukes? I find it hard to believe this is all merely coincidence.
To me, it looks like Trump’s trip to the Middle East might not actually be about signing economic deals with Saudi Arabia and Qatar. I think there’s more going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about. The real meetings are going on behind closed doors.
Trump is up to something.

Congressman Andy Barr @RepAndyBarr - As I told @CNN, President @realDonaldTrump’s agenda is ushering in MASSIVE investment into the U.S. and market access for our businesses.
Gas prices are down. Diesel fuel costs are down. Inflation is down. We are back!

Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill - The American people didn’t vote for open borders. They voted to take our country back.

CSPAN @cspan - This fall, C-SPAN introduces CeaseFire - a new weekly series where leaders from both sides sit down for thoughtful conversations that focus on listening, learning, and building common ground.
CeaseFire reflects C-SPAN’s mission to present the full picture of American democracy.

Danielle D'Souza Gill @danielledsouzag - Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just masterfully dropped a major truth bomb:
"So, we survived until the 1960s without universal [activist judge nationwide] injunctions."

Dan Scavino Jr. @DanScavino - Comey truly is a POS. While he’ll claim not to know what 8647 means, there’s no doubt that the former disgraced FBI Dir. knows exactly what he’s doing, with a plea to bad actors/terrorists to assassinate the POTUS’ while traveling internationally. Don’t let him get away with it!!
