Why do you want to dismantle Scottish justice and roll out English law in Scotland?
Why do you want to destroy the Scottish NHS and leave Scotland to take its chances with what England chooses?
Why do you want to dismantle Scottish education and join the illiterates?

Refusing to vote to reopen the government unless the ACA subsidies are extended is maybe the single most popular thing Democrats have done since…jeez, I don’t even know when.

"... China learned this lesson the hard way in 2004, when global traders manipulated soybean prices — driving them from $540 to >$750 / ton, then announcing bumper harvests that sent them crashing to $500, trapping Chinese processors in high-priced contracts..."

Supply-chain economics beat tariff politics
Twenty years ago, China learned the hard way that once supply chains reorganize, they never return to their previous form.

Calling out #BadFaith behavior is something that many #negotiators find difficult.
Some feel awkward doing it. Others worry that they'll scuttle the #negotiation.
However, addressing bad faith behavior swiftly & consistently is essential to achieving good, implementable deals.

RIP Hind Rajab.
Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her.
I will never forget this story.
