1/ I salute the 12 years of outstanding work by the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (@CICIGgt), investigating and supporting the prosecution of serious crimes and contributing to strengthening the rule of law. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2/ Today is CICIG’s final day. I thank Commissioner @Ivan_Velazquez and the CICIG staff for their comprehensive final report which includes a road map for sustaining the progress made to date. It now falls on the Guatemalan Attorney General, judicial system...
3/ ...and the whole Guatemalan government to continue the fight to end corruption and impunity and to protect and promote human rights.

To begin, the Guatemalan government must guarantee the protection and security of CICIG’s staff who are already receiving threats against...
4/ ...themselves & their families. With CICIG’s departure, international scrutiny of Guatemala’s commitment to human rights and rule of law will increase by necessity. We will be watching what happens next.

1/ Make no mistake: @realDonaldTrump is trying to please another authoritarian strongman instead of standing w/ our allies. His reckless twitter announcement undermines U.S safety, empowers the Islamic State, Russia & Assad. It will create more humanitarian chaos in the region.
2/ What did Trump and Turkish President Erdoğan discuss in their phone call before this announcement? Were any promises exchanged for this disastrous and unplanned withdrawal that paved the way for Turkey to move into Syria?
3/ This decision (made without consulting the Pentagon or State Dept.) will likely cause hundreds of thousands of civilians and internally displaced people living near the border to flee, in addition to disrupting ongoing humanitarian operations. This is a disaster in the making.

For over 50 years, America’s economic blockade against Cuba has been a complete failure. That's why I traveled to Cuba w/ @rosadelauro to build upon President Obama’s constructive dialogue between our countries and extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people.
Not only does our embargo hurt the Cuban people, it hurts America, too. There are lifesaving medicines that have been developed and produced in Cuba that are not available here because of our policies. Our businesses want to trade w/ Cuba, but they can’t because of our sanctions.
During our trip, we met with Cuban entrepreneurs and biotechnology researchers, alongside with their American counterparts, to discuss opportunities for collaboration and investment.

1/ Another ridiculous lie from @realDonaldTrump.

From day one, @HouseDemocrats have been focused on delivering on our promises to the American people. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell calls himself the “grim reaper” and refuses to even consider our bills.
2/ We have the receipts to back it up.
We passed #HR1, the For The People Act — the most ambitious set of ethics & election reforms in a generation. It gets big money out of politics, protects voting rights & strengthens ethics laws.
3/ We passed the #EqualityAct to ensure #LGBTQ Americans get the same legal protection as everyone else.

THREAD: "Looking the part" - how to move from middle to senior management.
1/The HR director concluded the elaborate presentation of the two candidates for promotion to senior management and asked for input from all the members of the board of directors. They all selected candidate A even though candidate B was by far better qualified.
2/ I was the managing director of the firm and knew the capabilities of both candidates better than the non-executive board members so I probed deeper, trying to understand why they wanted candidate A instead of the better qualified candidate B.

Guatemalan President Morales is making a grave mistake by cowardly threatening to expel the International Commission Against Impunity. nytimes.com/2019/01/07/wor…
Instead of worrying about what this important body might find in terms of corruption, he should be supporting its work and focusing on improving the lives and security of the Guatemalan people.
If this isn’t reversed, I will take this reckless decision into consideration when voting on future U.S. assistance to the Government of Guatemala.
