1/ Thanks @JohnBrennan for your service & tireless support in the fight to bring justice to the victims of Lockerbie.I lost my brother that day. I was only 19 when I went to DC to fight for better airline safety regulations & helped pass the Iran/ Libya Sanctions Act. #ny19
2/ The Act forced Libya to turn over the terrorists. That experience is big part of why I'm running for Congress in #NY19 - & why nat security is a front & center issue for me. I want to work with our international allies & support our military service members at home & abroad...
3/ ...who are dedicated to the safety & security of the American people - so that other families never have to experience the loss that mine did. Again, thank you. And welcome to Twitter! #ny19 #resist

1/ @chrisjdmartin Hey Chris - ACA prohibited ins co's from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions & required that everyone pays the same regardless of health. It also eliminated annual and lifetime limits on coverage.
2/ There were also consumer protections with the mandate that prevented individuals from waiting until they get sick to enroll, which kept the balance of healthy and sick individuals in the insurance risk pool - and premiums low. Without mandate, healthy enrollees can now drop...
3/ ...out of ACA-compliant plans. Remaining enrollees in risk pool would be sicker on average, forcing insurance co's to increase rates by about 10% to cover the increased average cost.

1/ The House passed the devastating Tax Cuts & Jobs Act today. Starve the Beast? More like starve the poor and vulnerable. Thread. #winwithflynn #brianflynn #ny19 #taxbill
2/ As if that wasn't bad enough, Republicans are already planning to pay for their $1.5 trillion tax bill by making cuts next year to vital safety net programs the most vulnerable in our district rely on such as Social Security, Medicare, welfare and food stamps.
3/ So who in the GOP is going to step up and go to bat for America’s most vulnerable? Who will put country over party? If you’re betting on @repjohnfaso think again.

A true somali horror story - A thread
Backstory - This story was told to me by my adeero who experienced this in May 1972.
The year was 1972 hargeisa and my uncle on my mothers side, who was 17 at the time was working to help import goods from hargeisa to berbera and vice versa. One day there was a shortage of jobs and my uncle was desperately looking for a truck driver.

#IBARome ⁦@IntlCrimCourt⁩ Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda says emphatically that pushback by the American govt, & other states, will not deter the ICC from doing its work without fear or favour. #CrimesAgainstHumanity #genocide
ICC can be faced with total non-cooperation, dwindling resources, hostility etc. Forms part of challenge to conducting investigations. We need to anticipate such challenges. US isn’t 1st state to refuse to cooperate with ICC, eg Sudan, but we still collected evidence: Bensouda.
Since I announced investigation into Philippines. I’m sure you’ve heard response of leader, including threats against Prosecutor. But, eg, see Burundi where I opened prelim invest. Burundi immediately withdrew, but we ctd investigation & obtained satisfactory evidence- Bensouda.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
