tech 101

Google CEO re Steve King’s iPhone concerns: “Congressman, iPhone is made by a different company.”

Mark Zuckerberg on how Facebook remains free for users: “Senator, we run ads.”

Thus concludes this year’s Tech 101 for Congress.

Clarke threat

What's happening in France will look like childs play if the deep state tries to undo the 2016 election by MANUFACTURING a way to remove @realDonaldTrump before 2020.
They are underestimating the resolve of Trump's supporters. Like in France, people will only put up with so much. pic.twitter.com/6begUZacJm

demographics – evangelicals

This is a genius piece from @RonBrownstein. The Trump/GOP base isn't whites. It's white evangelicals. https://t.co/d4ityAc4yR pic.twitter.com/3ZfetIjU10

Romania

For years, the Romanian Consulate in Chicago held its national day celebration at the Chicago Cultural Center.

This year, the consulate chose the Trump Hotel.

anti-Beto panic

Ahh, now I get the anti-Beto panic coming out of the Bernie camp.

MoveOn was practically an extension of the Sanders campaign in 2016.

If Sanders trails Beto among even that population, no wonder David Sirota, et al, are all worked up. https://t.co/YhbSESpHSL

Glenn? You there?

Just trying to imagine my reaction if you told me during the Obama yrs, that on a news day where we saw the president's personal lawyer getting 3 yrs in jail for committing felonies on his behalf, Mr. Adversarial to Power @ggreenwald would not even acknowledge it even happened.

She’s overcome a Republican party that’s spent millions on attack ads against her.

She’s overcome the inherent misogyny in the media.

She’s overcome people in her own party attacking her.

She’s overcome it all and delivered for America for 31 years.

She is @NancyPelosi. pic.twitter.com/Dio2shRSu9
