I gave this unsolicited advice to @AOC six months ago. She did not pay any heed. 1/
So now @AOC faces the wrath of her Dem colleagues in Congress who give zero f's about the number of twitter followers she has.

“Her peers do not take her seriously,” a senior Democratic source said Friday, adding: "She is a nobody. She is a freshman with no power." 2/
"She is not worth the speaker’s brainpower,” the source said -- accusing her of starting "needless distractions from serious issues," and skipping meetings and conference calls in favor of media interviews, tweets and "glamour." 3/
“In this building, it is about how many others you can bring along to your side. She maybe has two members—sometimes four,” the source added.

Well, @AOC, don't say I didn't tell you. 4/
Democrats lose patience with ‘complete fraud’ AOC, rally to Pelosi’s side.

Exactly as expected. 5/5

1. A New Liberal Demon: "Metering"

This is stupidity run amok. @AOC and our execrable media have decided to create a new villain to hide their own complicity in creating the horror on the border, and to act all sanctimonious toward Trump administration.
2. First, let us all recognize that the situation at the border is a horror show. Too many migrants flooding our border, some genuine asylum seekers, most economic migrants, all desperate to get in, but we just don't have enough resources to process them all in a timely manner.
3, So what happens when there are too many people trying to get serviced and there are only a limited number of agents and/or seats to serve them at a concert, DMV, in a bank, at the INS office, at the Post Office. in a department store, oh for God's sake, even in Disney World?

1. A Question of Citizenship
The question doesn't actually accomplish all that much by being on a census. People can provide misleading of incorrect information with impunity. What is going to happen now is far superior.
2. One thing the brouhaha over the citizenship question's inclusion in the census achieved is to expose the Democrats on the issue. Now the whole nation knows Democrats will go to great lengths to keep us in the dark about exactly how many illegal aliens are in the U.S.
3. Regardless, by issuing an executive order to collect this information from the agencies, Trump has set in motion something that is far better than what would have been achieved through the census question.

AG Barr Sees Route to Citizenship Question
BTW, 2010 Census (under Obama) is the only Census in our history which did not ask the citizenship question of any household. Prior to that, citizenship question was always asked [either for all foreign born family members or from families which received the long form version].
GOP, why didn't you sue the Obama admin for dropping the citizenship question in 2010 Census? Learn from this moment. Don't ever let them get away with even a minor infringement of common sense. They will always try to normalize their every insanity if left unchallenged.

The last lawfully ratified state constitution of Pennsylvania is 1838. All the state constitutions after 1860 are NOT lawfully ratified because #Congress collapse on November 1860 when the southern nations seceded. I will remind everyone we are still under martial law since 1861.
Martial law was never lifted, there were never any peace treaties with the Independent Southern Nations after the international war of 1861. This prevented to restore congress of the southern nations & northern nations. Below I will tweet the preamble and Article I.
1)
 Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania -1838.

WE, The People of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Ordain and Establish this Constitution for its Government.

Six months ago, I would not have believed that one could turn a terrace into an akshayapaathram of fruits, herbs &vegetables just using pots, grow bags, cocopeat, sand & cow dung. The seeds largely come from the TN government’s “roof top garden” initiative tnhorticulture.tn.gov.in/horti/do-it-yo…
Of course, with about 350 days of sunshine, chillies are a no brainer. in retrospect, one plant is enough since it’s pretty productive
And of course, cousins from the Solanaceae family, tomatoes, eggplant and turkey berry (sundakkai)

Six months ago today, I published a book called @WinnersTakeAll that terrified me every day as I wrote it.

Today my heart is full thanks to all of you around the world who have read it, struggled with it, questioned it, reached out to me in so many ways. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/539747/w…
Traveling for a book is brutal, especially with two children under the age of four. But with this book, it was important to have these hard conversations together, in person. And so we did, feeling our way to truth in so many towns and cities, east and west, north and south.
I am grateful to every young person who has written to me wondering about what to do with your life. I don't know the answer exactly. But so many of you are asking new, correct questions, sensing correctly that you live in a new time demanding new assumptions.

Six months ago, a dear friend was reaching the end of the line. Her only hope was an organ transplant, but she was too weak to get on the waiting list – let alone survive the 7-hour operation. We knew every day we had with her was a gift.
On a grey day in August, I took my mum up to North London to see her. Mum is a retired NHS nurse and spent most of her career in end-of-life care. She's seen it all. And she knew right away that our friend was in a bad way.
I sat in silence as Mum talked to her about care plans, hospice and respite care, and all the other morbid practicalities you hope you'll never have to discuss with someone you love. I knew things were bleak but this was the first time it'd all felt so real and irreversible.

Six months ago I started teaching teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds. In the end, it was them who taught me.

With students like them you see the whole spectrum of human problems in its rawest form.
It's because they know how to express themselves. Most of them, anyway. They don't sugarcoat, don't hide, they'll tell you to go fuck yourself if you ask them how they are.
And you have to remain calm and loving, otherwise they'll pick your energies up and throw it right back at you.

You really do have to learn what unconditional means.

And also, what authenticity means.
