Below: The First Family departing for the first weekend at Bedminster, NJ, of Summer 2018. 😎☀️🍦🍦
(2) POTUS, FLOTUS, Barron, and Amalija boarding AF1 at Andrews for the flight to NJ for the weekend before the 4th of July. The Kushner family also travelled with them.
(6) Beautiful family. A well earned weekend break in NJ.
(7) POTUS and #TheExpert shortly before flying out of Joint Base Andrews yesterday.
(8) Leaving JBA, speaking to the press pool, and arriving in NJ.
(9) Various recent photos. Rally in Fargo, ND. Embroidered 45 on his shirt cuffs.
(10) POTUS seems to have a very warm relationship with the Portugese President. There were a lot of laughs shared during the public part of their Oval Office meeting.
(11) Wonderful signs outside the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, VA. Love always wins. The silent majority of Americans can see exactly what is happening. They're not stupid.
(12) Larry Kudlow returned to the White House 3 weeks after heart attack. Said "rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated."😉
Please Larry, encourage POTUS to lose a little weight. We need him around as long as possible. When Pence is POTUS, his support will be helpful.
(13) Trump's trusted inner circle are looking happier these days than they have in a long time. In general terms, they're going nowhere. If Kelly does complete this assignment soon, I'm confident his replacement will be just as good. Esp. if it's Mulvaney or Ayers.
(14) Great visit to DC by the King and Queen of Jordan this week. Never underestimate the importance of Senate relationships with allied leaders.
(15) POTUS at his lunch meeting with Congressional reps on the day the travel ban was upheld by SCOTUS.
The Left are using the slogan "Heart of ICE," but they don't realize there is no greater love than to serve as an LEO. Our ICE heroes love saving lives & protecting us.
(16) Melania Trump's second visit to a DHS site near the border, this time in Arizona.
Smart, compassionate and beautiful, as always. Best FLOTUS ever.
(17) POTUS joined Gov Scott Walker and others at a groundbreaking ceremony for the new $10-billion #FoxConn factory that will produce state-of-the-art flat-panel displays in Mount Pleasant, #Wisconsin.
(18) National Security Adviser, Ambassador John Bolton in Moscow last week. Bolton met with a group of British MPs on the way home. POTUS will meet with Putin in Helsinki this month, and make his first visit to the UK as President.

(2) Brett M. Kavanaugh will soon be the 102nd Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA. He has earned this highest honor throughout his life, inspired by his trailblazing mother, Judge Martha Kavanaugh.
His title for these few hours is Associate Justice Designate.
(3) This statement from the Supreme Court explains the two ceremonies:
(2) This WaPo reporter is incorrect about the vote being "scheduled for" Saturday. The earliest time a vote COULD be held is Saturday pm. There's no reason not to hold it on Sun/Mon IF we need Daines. I think we won't. Read my 5 tweets about him here:
(1) A directory of my Kavanaugh threads since July 9, 2018.
I never planned more than a couple of threads about him this year but, I shoulda known the Dems would try to destroy whoever was the nominee this time.
(2) Like Democrats, I'd already decided how I felt about him before his nomination was announced. I live-tweeted the announcement, which was a great event in itself.
(3) I followed Kavanaugh's progress over the summer and on September 22nd, I finally wrote a thread about the preparations for the all-important hearing on September 27th. It covers the hearing before the next thread started the day after.
(2) Mitch laughing to himself about how absurd it is that he has to push his way through the crowd of reporters on 9/25/18.
(3) Sen Grassley is 85 years old. (Democrats have senators around that age, too.)
Today he had to hold onto a Capitol Police officer to reduce the risk of a reporter knocking him over. This has to stop. Senators must return to being able to walk around freely at work.
(2) First Lady Melania Trump is a natural in this important role.
She's one of those women whose face lights up whenever she is around children. God Bless our great First Lady.
👠🇺🇸
(3) FLOTUS left Joint Base Andrews in her trademark high heels and arrived in Ghana wearing practical flats. She still looks sensational, whatever she happens to wear!
(2) Cloture in the Senate is a procedural step that you can learn more about at the link below. The senate.gov website is the best resource for learning about Senate procedure and a lot more. Same for house.gov.
(3) Watching live Senate floor proceedings is boring as hell, as they pass bills for naming Post Offices, & so on. But every now & then, they confirm a SCOTUS judge. And this time, they will affirm our great #BillOfRights#DueProcess & the hard-won #RuleOfLaw. Seriously. 🇺🇸🦅
