.@ACLU response to @SecPompeo announcement that U.S. will impose travel ban against @IntlCrimCourt personnel: “This is an unprecedented attempt to skirt international accountability for well-documented war crimes that haunt our clients to this day. 1/

It reeks of the very totalitarian practices that are characteristic of the worst human rights abusers, and is a blatant effort to intimidate and retaliate against judges, prosecutors, and advocates seeking justice for victims of serious human rights abuses. 2/
We won’t rest until we get to the bottom of this, and are considering options on behalf of those potentially impacted by this misguided and dangerous policy.” END aclu.org/news/aclu-comm…

During her tenure, the Trump administration withdrew from the U.N. Human Rights Council and UNESCO, pulled out of the negotiations leading up to the Global Compact on Migration, and attacked a U.N. independent human rights expert investigating poverty in the United States. 2/
Haley will leave her post having caused long-term damage to key international human rights bodies and having put the United States in the company of some of the worst human rights abusers. 3/

There has been a lot of discussion about pallets, pallets as they mostly relate to BREXIT.

Like many subjects, scratch the surface and it is very complex, there is even a standard for the bending resistance of pallet nails.

A thread…

This is going to be a thread in three parts

PART 1 - A Pallet Primer
PART 2 - Pallet Standards
PART 3 - That BREXIT thing

Would you like to see Congress be a check on President Trump?

Yes: 71%
No: 20%

Including 51% of Republicans saying yes.

Stunner and makes you wonder about the hot takes surrounding Rep Sanford.

Continuing in the same Quinnipiac poll:

Would you like to see the Supreme Court be a check on President Trump?

Yes: 65%
No: 24%
