2) it’s all about the Benjamins but more money more problems — Bc @realDonaldTrump thinks we pay too much for everything and get nothing in return. Btw @UN contributions are determined by a specific formula related to GNI and per capita income ...
3) .@UN#UNGA is kicking off. @antonioguterres has "a commitment to increase transparency on the reporting of sexual exploitation and abuse within the UN." Wonder what he would say about DT's tweet saying victims always speak up or they weren't attacked un.org/preventing-sex…
4) "It is estimated that 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or sexual violence by a non-partner at some point in their lives." unwomen.org/en/what-we-do/…
5) In the majority of countries with available data, less than 40 per cent of the women who experience violence seek help of any sort...Less than 10 per cent of those women seeking help for experience of violence sought help by appealing to the police

Reading this @StateDept press release on @SecPompeo 's meetings in the Koreas: 1) What did we give up to get the North Koreans to refrain from calling @SecPompeo a gangster this time?
2) Why are we second Summiting when we haven't achieved the meat of what we wanted out of the first? If a "historic" Singapore Summit just led to red herrings, why further normalize Kim with a second?
Heading onto @cnni to speak with @RobynCurnowCNN about why not all election interference is created equal. @VP speech today was a dangerous use of time and attention. All it takes is some overt propaganda in local newspapers and @WhiteHouse refocuses its election meddling ire
.@VP did cite covert action, front groups, and propaganda in his speech - in my experience you don't publicly reference covert action unless there's been a substantial discussion with the IC about publicizing this info.
question is what mission of this reported China covert action was / is? Sow divisions? Create confusion? Are Chinese bots fighting with Russian ones in cyberspace? via @USATODAYusatoday.com/story/news/wor…
Prepping for my discussion tonight with @secupp and want to highlight this section of @realDonaldTrump 's UNGA speech: "The United States is the world’s largest giver in the world, by far, of foreign aid. But few give anything to us."
The US foreign assistance budget is designed around where assistance is needed. We consistently review needs to make sure our $s are well spent, but we have not, to date, used $ to buy something in return. We have used foreign assistance to ease suffering, grow economies, + more
bc we determined that these objectives were in fact "giving" something back to the US and our national security.
.@AshaRangappa_ and I are speaking about what “security” means to us, as women, this afternoon. What a day to be having this conversation. We should be having it every day.
.@realDonaldTrump just mixed up alleged Iran and North Korea hostage payment reporting.
He also gave us a “readout” of topics discussed during his 1:1 with Putin — no mention of election meddling - but there wasn’t anyone else in the room so ....
.@POTUS reportedly canceled a meeting with @JustinTrudeau over a trade dispute but wants to meet with Putin and Kim again. Two men who use WMD, cyber attack us, and more. But milk tho ....
Well it looks like the media factually speaking. They just laughed.
Repeated that China is trying to interfere in our election but he and Xi have a great relationship. Is getting on the President's friends and family list as easy as attacking us?
