I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.

I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Thanks for advice - will keep an eye on it. I also have psoriasis which causes other nail stuff!

Probably some bruise from getting whacked - I have very weak nails & was skiing last week (badly of course)

My pleasure!!

And just opposite that, was the poem about Why Dave Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Name Things Any More. Which I’m keeping in my pocket. Because I know it will come in useul.

Then I wanted to read the Ratatouille Poem due to the obvious rhyming challenge...
