@ewags82 @JakeSherman I can see it already, Liz invites MTG for a weekend of hunting to let bygones be exactly that. And unsurprisingly, MTG and her staff aren’t familiar and educated about Cheney’s and quail hunts.

@TrinityResists @aravosis Kind of amazing to think how Trump is making things so much worse. But to think that if both NY (8.2%) and CA (14.5%) take huge hits, they together make up almost one-quarter (23 percent) of the US economy in 2018, so best of luck on that economic recovery.

@POTUS The first time a bill to make lynching a federal hate crime was introduced in Congress was in 1900. Such legislation has failed over 200 times in the last century. Not sure "better late than never" has ever fit more aptly.
