- I thought I requested 5 yams on Instacart, turns out I requested 5 BAGS of yams. Send help and yam recipes.
- Replying to @AliRoginTrump then makes two flagrant lies in a row: 1) He said the US military got its first pay raise in 10 years. FACT: The military has received a pay increase each year except for '83 and that was a technical glitch. @PolitiFact rated it Pants on Fire.
- Good morning! If you're just waking up in the US, here's what President Trump said overnight about why he wouldn't have wanted to serve in Vietnam: "Well, I was never a fan of that war. I’ll be honest with you. I thought it was a terrible war, I thought it was very far away..."
- LBJ would be proud of that power stanceMURKOWSKI and FEINSTEIN huddling in Capitol basement. What are they talking about?
- .@joshrogin talked to the leader of Syria's Civil Defense (White Helmets), who hadchilling advice for Ukrainians: "Do not give GPS locations of medical facilities to the U.N., which may claim it needs the information to keep them safe. The Russians will use that information"
- BREAKING: At least 3 CDC leaders have resigned tonight: Dan Jernigan, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Deb Houry, chief medical officer Demetre Daskalakis, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Possibly more TKNEW: Following the reports of Monarez’s departure as @CDCgov director, several other leaders have just submitted their resignations: Dan Hernigan, head of the National Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases and Deb Houry, the CDC’s chief medical officer. Unclear if related.
- Replying to @AliRoginAnd -- "You had plenty of people that came up and said, you know, we can make it smaller. ...I said no. Make it ten percent. Make it more than ten percent. Because it’s been a long time." Both those quotes are lies that the president has been called out on before.
- BIG Ukraine news: @nickschifrin reports: The US believes Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine, and communicated those plans to the Russian military.
- Replying to @AliRoginThen 2) He said he raised the military's pay by ten percent. FACT: It was raised 2.8% in 2018 and another 2.6% in the current NDAA.
- Wow - @marcorubio on tax bill: "I thought we probably went too far on (helping) corporations. By and large, you’re going to see a lot of these multinationals buy back shares to drive up the price... That isn’t going to create dramatic economic growth."
- The fact that Mick Mulvaney -- the poster child, when a congressman, for the Freedom Caucus/deficit hawks -- is saying "nobody cares" about the deficit... not sure how to finish the sentence but I think the point is made.Trump told supporters 40-50% of speech will be about foreign policy. When asked if the deficit will be mentioned in #SOTU speech, chief of staff Mulvaney said “nobody cares,” per attendee
- In an interview with @ABC, @maziehirono, member of Judiciary Committee, says of @ChuckGrassley's assertions that Republicans are doing everything they can to contact Christine Blasey Ford "such bullshit I can hardly say it."
- Sen. Lindsey Graham on Nunes' claims: "Incidental collection is not equivalent to government-directed surveillance of an American citizen"
