You know that scene in The Incredibles where Mr. Incredible tells an old lady how he can't possibly help her with her insurance claim and she definitely shouldn't fill out this specific form and take it to this specific office
Looks like that was Amash's interpretation
Seems like Nadler too
Definitely Booker's take
Seems pretty clear this interpretation is taking off with D's
And here’s Mueller’s biographer running with the Mr. Incredible theory

At D presser to introduce a $15 min wage bill, which could define the party consensus. Legislation would raise wage floor to $15 by 2024 and then automatically increase it based on changes to median wages.
When I say consensus I mean the presser includes lead sponsor Bobby Scott, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, chair of progressive caucus Mark Pocan, chair of Blue Dogs Stephanie Murphy. Schumer is also backing it.
As Pelosi notes, minimum wage was a big issue in 2006 Democratic wave. One of the first bills they passed raised it to current $7.25.

This is a predictable example where DHS burning credibility over a two-year period really affected the reaction. Nielsen's mostly treated as an extension of Trump at this point, with all the added skepticism that entails.
When your public debut is feigning ignorance about what the president meant by certain shithole countries producing inferior immigrants to Norway, you end up in situations like this. washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/w…
But this isn't even the first WH-initiated crisis she's had to weigh in on. And during the last one -- child separation -- she contradicted cabinet officials and made misleading claims. cbsnews.com/news/dhs-sec-k…

My sense is that most Trump-skeptical R's are desperate for him to give them even the mildest cover to treat him as a normal president. For a lot of them that cover was McMaster/Mattis/Kelly/Haley, and well, there you go.
FWIW, I'd expect there to be a new consensus "adult in the room" within months that the same people can move onto instead. The concept of "adults in the room" is far more powerful than any one individual.

1/ My latest article "Bitcoin's Security is Fine" where I address concerns with Bitcoin’s security model which is funded by the block subsidy + transaction fees. Part of a new content series produced by @InterchangeHQ called “The On-Ramp”

Thread 👇

2/ Approx. every 10 minutes, a new Bitcoin block is created, which contains newly minted Bitcoins (the “block subsidy”) plus transactions fees. The value of the newly minted coins plus transaction fees is called the “block reward.”
3/ Per Bitcoin’s hard-coded monetary policy, the amount of newly minted coins per block decreases over time, eventually reaching 0% in the year 2140. At the time of this tweet being published, over 83% of all Bitcoins that will ever exist have already been minted.

Starting at page 221 with the regulation itself (see how I do this...I skip to the regs first, I’ll go back through the preface material later) #PatientAccess cms.gov/Center/Special…
In the following, mom is simply how I think about the phrase "Medicare Enrollee". It could be dad, uncle Fred, my buddy Glen et cetera. #PatientAccess is about the patient.
So, mom's MA organization has to provide APIs that allow her to use an app (after mom approves it) to access standardized claim data, adjudications, appeals, provider payments (remittances) and co-payments (cost-sharing) within one business day of claim processing. #PatientAccess

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

I should share my #insurance story. It happened en route to Ajah from Lekki Phase 1. #LiveWithFreedom #Nigeria @youareinsured
My story is a reminder that good things come to those who have key information and those who pay attention to documentation. #LiveWithFreedom
I was driving a BMW at the time and was unfortunate enough to be rammed by a Danfo! Now when a Danfo hits you, you already know they can’t pay for repairs. #LiveWithFreedom

Since it's Tax Time and a lot of self-employed or freelance people are feeling the hit of a giant tax bill, I'd like to share a handful of things I've learned about taxes that Independent Businesspeople Might Like To Know. A thread! 1/
First caveat: I don't know what the new Republican tax bill will do to this information. It probably will change it a little bit. Also, I live in California and your area may differ w/r/t local taxes. So please remember to do research or consult a pro for your specific case. 2/
Second caveat: I only know what I have done and I'm comfortable recommending for people in GENERALLY my same shoes. I have a small business and I make my money as the owner of the business. Your situation may differ! 3/
