(2) Historic photos released on the day Mike Pompeo was finally confirmed by the Senate and sworn in as the 70th US Secretary of State. Pompeo then jumped on a plane for a 4-country trip.
As CIA Director, he met with Kim Jong Un secretly at Easter. No guarantees but its a start
(3) Cute photo of Sec Sonny Purdue with some of his grandkids a year ago. Family is what it's all about.

(8) Macron's address to the Joint Meeting of Congress. (Not the about-turn the media made it out to be; read the transcript and consider the context. It's politics.)

(10) So many genuinely historic events this week. The meeting of South and North Korean leaders at the demarcation line 65 years after the ceasefire started was huge. My eyes are wide open but I'm hopeful for what Trump is enabling. Lots of photos here:

(15) Rep Brad Wenstrup, MD (and Army Colonel) saved the life of Rep Steve Scalise, who made it to the OR within the #GoldenHour of trauma medicine. Horrific injuries. Col Wenstrup represents the best of our military MDs, and America. An honor well earned.

(16) This is a GREAT video. POTUS calls a number of Olympians individually to come to the podium & it's totally freeform ad lib comedy & national pride & singing the praises of the athletes. 12 mins if you start after speech (17 mins if you watch it all).
(17) POTUS making our Olympic champions laugh and smile. Watch the video above, it's awesome. He's so authentic with them, honors their achievements, esp the paralympians and the military paralympians. He watched as many events on TV as he could.
(18) Abraham Lincoln was somehow able to start to bridge the divide, before he was tragically taken. Who knows what he would have achieved if given the chance.
On 4/25/18 the dam broke... Kanye West is a leader like Lincoln was.
Historic changes.

(20) POTUS is in Michigan now, for his rally. Always good fun!
(21) Two Guide Puppers to Paralympians wait while POTUS thanks Team USA at the WH last week.
(12) Merkel going out for dinner in DC with her lovely assistant and security detail in tow.
If you can shoot a photo of someone from across the street, you can fire at them. These body guards should surround her instead. Just basic stuff for any leader.
(13) I'd love to know what POTUS said to Merkel that had them all smiling.
(14) Your face on communism vs your face on capitalism.
(15) Merkel's gift to Trump: A map of the area within modern day Germany where his paternal ancestors came from. He is far more American-Scottish than American-German. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. And Scots are cool, but I may be biased.
(16) #TakeYourKidToWorkDay 2018. The girls are woke and the boys are thinking of their next soy-based meal.
(17) Our classy, accomplished, beautiful #SarahWarriorPrincess with her daughter a few years ago.
(18) VP is in CA near the border.

(22) I swear, cabinet members in other countries must vie for the role of Defense Minister just so they can get to meet Secretary Mattis. Macedonia is visiting this time.
(23) On behalf of a grateful nation, POTUS thanks the pilot of Southwest Airlines Flight 1380, a former Navy "Top Gun" jet fighter pilot, for her textbook landing of a plane with one engine and a window that was broken at 30,000 feet.
(24) Not just any championship football team, West Point @ArmyWP_Football's Black Knights, winners of the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for the first time in 21 years. I imagine some of these shirts will end up on display at the Trump Presidential Library and Museum. #MAGA

(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. 🇺🇸🦅
