(3) The State Department photographers are very good at distributing photos of Sec Pompeo's work on the day or soon after. He's worth a thread of his own!
You will also find in this thread photos of Amb Nikki Haley & others who work closely with him.
(5) FLOTUS visited Microsoft DC and met with kids as part of her #BeBest initiative to reduce the cyberbullying of children. There's an important distinction between kids and adults online: kids should be cared for, adults have a right to free speech.
(6) VP and Karen Pence arriving at Andrews to help receive the remains of USSS Special Agent Remagen this week.
(7) VP campaigning in Tennessee today with Rep Marsha Blackburn.
(8) After campaigning in Tennessee, VP traveled to Georgia to campaign with Brian Kemp for Governor.
(9) A pajama clad Arabella Kushner made the news on Friday by carrying her Dad's satchel out to his car before work, complete with bed hair.😂
(10) @SecretaryCarson is great. I'm sure his visits to staff are appreciated. Federal staff aren't all haters of the admin.
"Thanks for the warm welcome, @HUDMidwest ! I’m visiting our field office here in @CityofCleveland to thank our fantastic staff for all their hard work."
(11) Treasury Sec @stevenmnuchin1 tweeted on 7/19: "Good to be back visiting Puerto Rico. Met with PR Gov. @ricardorossello to discuss economic development and the progress in restoring the island."
(12) Team Trump members at the National Council for the American Worker launch: Kellyanne Conway, Jared Kushner, Mick Mulvaney and John Kelly.
It's all about training American workers. Much needed!
(13) POTUS launching the National Council for the American Worker.
(14) A positive event this week at the WH about workforce training and development, which is so important in a booming economy.
(15) Sarah Sanders and Stephen Miller this week reflecting on how ridiculous the Left has become.
(16) Not that you'd know it from the liberal MSM, but this week on Capitol Hill it's been a tale of two parties. Our self-confessed turtle #CocaineMitch is sitting pretty, while the #KeepDiggingDemocrats can't fill the seats at their press briefings.
(17) POTUS and FLOTUS arriving from Bedminster to the Morristown, NJ airport to board AF1 tonight. They are currently en route to DC.
(18) POTUS and FLOTUS returned to the White House from Bedminster via Air Force One and a motorcade (due to weather.) They were welcomed at Joint Base Andrews by the base commander and her wife.

(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. 🇺🇸🦅
