Just when you’re ready to throw your hands up with the Florida Legislature, a couple of lawmakers come together to host a bipartisan digital town hall.
Well done, @RAlexAndradeFL and @DanDaley.

At the office, where the local soft-rock station is piped thru the ceiling, & they just played “nuthin but a G thang”(it followed a Sheryl Crow number). We have come a long way since 1992... #FridayThoughts #PutinsPuppet

This whole serious from #scmp has been excellent.

With #NAFTA nearly wrapped up, deals with many of the Americans' other #trade partners will come as easy to the #Trump admin as a Twitter rant. With the US' recently marshalled allies and leverage to spare, #China is starting to feel a change in the air. tinyurl.com/y72ujspc
