Tomorrow Senator Hatch will be laid to rest in Salt Lake City and this account will cease activity.

Before that, a few final thoughts on one of the greatest Americans in history.

Senator Hatch finished his life the way he finished his Senate career - sprinting through the finish line to ensure he never wasted a single moment.

He fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.

Some highlights:

A quick thread on Coronavirus

What @RealDonaldTrump talked about last night, and lawmakers are focusing on today, is how we slow the spread, and how the Fed. Gov. provides support to families and businesses during a short period of disruption.

cdc.gov/coronavirus/20… In the short term, this chart is everything. Short term disruption will prevent long-term pain.

If we can slow the spread over the next few months, our healthcare ecosystem can both keep up with and stay ahead of cases, provide treatment, and lower risk.

Biden isn't a "moderate alternative," and his healthcare plan is Bernie's in a ski mask.

Here's the architect of the public option -- central to Biden's plan -- mocking those who suggest it's a "Trojan horse for single payer."

"It's not a trojan horse. It's right there." In 2009, Democrats tried to force a Public Option in Obamacare, but Joe Lieberman (I-CT) threatened to filibuster the entire bill if "another government health insurance entitlement" was in

He said he'd rather have no bill than one with a Public Option

Tomorrow I am launching a “No Tomfoolery” bus tour across Iowa to see the state and ensure there is no tomfoolery taking place. On Wednesday we will kick off our “No Folderol” seniors parade float, which will slowly drive across Iowa to stamp out any and all illicit folderol and fiddle dee dee.

I have more questions today than yesterday.

1) How/ why did *editors* decide to remove the key fact that alleged victim had no memory of the “bombshell incident?”
2) is it normal to circumvent editorial standards by sending material to opinion section?

3. Your “editors note” about the alleged victim Not recalling anything came 24 hours later, after an entire Sunday of news coverage of the incomplete story. Would we have ever found out that key detail if @MZHemingway and others hadn’t revealed it and applied pressure?

“Heal” say the group of bad actors who have done irreparable damage to the Supreme Court.

For the rest of their time in the United States Senate NONE of these Judiciary Committee Democrats ever deserve to be taken seriously on the courts again.

“The Supreme Court is not well” says Mazie Hirono, who went on national tv and said Judge Kavanaugh didn’t *deserve* the presumption of innocence against their reckless character assassination game.. because of his views on Roe v Wade.

These “fun facts” the Democratic Presidential candidates gave CNN are quite fascinating. #DemDebate
cnn.com/interactive/20… Not sure I would call this “fun” but I suppose that word means different things to different people.
