    Update: she has packed a backpack and has her winter coat beside her bed because when Santa comes she plans to go with him for a ride until the morning. How do I deal with this situation???

    "This is a picture of a lost and damaged soul,” said of Trump’s Christmas Eve. “There’s something sad and poignant about a president isolated and alone. He’s like King Lear, raging against the winds.”

    Oh look it’s at the bus station on Christmas Eve. I’m sure is on his way there soon.

    .⁦⁩ is on scene with about 50 migrants who were released by ICE at El Paso’s Greyhound station. Another 150 are expected later today, 200 more on Christmas Day.

    5. If you see yourself as a Bernie supporter, as do I, I’m telling you now that you are doing Bernie harm if you go in full attack mode against Beto or other candidates before they even announce. It turns off potential voters and partners. I see it happening. //End of Thread

    A fair reading of the politics is that Sanders backers are worried about his pull with progressives and millennials -- and that is framed by portraying O'Rourke as a tool of the old Democratic establishment. 10/x

    It's Christmas Eve and President is plunging the country into chaos. The stock market is tanking and the President is waging a personal war on the Federal Reserve—after he just fired the Secretary of Defense.

    Replying to @TopherSpiro
    I’ll explain. He thinks he doesn’t have to pay the federal workers back what they’re owed. He thinks he just stiffed contractors to get more wall money, similar to how he generally operates his money laundering businesses.

    Trump's White House tried to calm markets this weekend. It backfired. The S&P 500 is now in a bear market, a 20% decline from the all-time high in September. Technically, this ends the longest bull market in post-WWII era.

    Markets tank as Mnuchin appears to panic. Then they begin to recover ... until Trump Fed bashing tweet hits the tape. Then down we go again.
