To the 932 Tennesseans who stood up and voted their conscience: Thank you! Movements don’t start with millions; they start with the few who refuse to surrender their principles. You are the first ripple of something much bigger. More to come.

Our founders put war powers in the hands of Congress for a reason. No president should bypass that safeguard. America needs a foreign policy grounded in restraint, law, and the defense of our people. Closing foreign airspace and saber rattling without congressional authorization
To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

It's Thanksgiving. Take a breath, set the politics down and spend some real, meaningful time with the people who make your life whole. Rebuild those connections. Rebuild your community. That's what truly matters today.

This is an incredibly important piece to read. While I disagree with the $140k figure, the underlying problem is an enormous elephant which nobody is talking about. Post election, I'll be taking a deep dive into the "working poor" and just how pervasive this catastrophe is.
If you read this analytically it will show how the poverty line in our country realistically is the poverty threshold for a family of four is $140k https://t.co/T7zldAS23c

What does this have to do with the election? Nothing. But it reads into the future of technology. I would argue pretty accurately. And the dinosaurs in Congress don't understand a word of it.
