This comment by Fauci is puzzling because Italy halted all flights to/from China on Jan. 31, days before Trump. It was even broader than the US ban. I have contacted NIH to clarify, but here's the Italian announcement --> enac.gov.it/news/coronavir…
More: The Italian ban was complete, no flights, no exceptions. Trump's action let airlines keep flying, with restrictions that contained wide exemptions. thelocal.it/20200131/italy…
Full fact check with NIH response. --> washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…

Having known @AmbJohnBolton for nearly two decades, it’s amazing to see him suddenly portrayed as a “Democratic witness” or part of a left-wing cabal. There are few more conservative people in Washington. From personal experience, here are some basic facts about Bolton:
@AmbJohnBolton Bolton is not a “neoconservative,” as many portray him. He’s a national conservative, a realist dedicated to projecting U.S. power. (No starry-eyed promotion of democracy for him.) He’s smart and a very skilled lawyer, especially in the field of international law.
@AmbJohnBolton What’s most important to Bolton is the policy, not political patrons. He served George W. Bush for six years at senior levels but did not minch words when he thought Bush’s North Korea policy was going off course.

Christianity Today, founded by Billy Graham, 20 years ago said Bill Clinton was "morally unable to lead." It reaches the same conclusion about Donald Trump and calls for his removal from office.--> christianitytoday.com/ct/2019/decemb…
some striking lines: "His Twitter feed alone—with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders—is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused."
"None of the president’s positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character...no matter how many hands we win in this political poker game, we are playing with a stacked deck of gross immorality and ethical incompetence."

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.
