I love the photo that you posted to Twitter of Alaska from the sky. Did you take it? It's nice that you got a warm reception at JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON. We share an affection for Alaska, although I suspect that neither one of us would like to live there. Too dark and cold for too long. The summers are amazing though!
Can you stand the suspense? Michael Cohen is speaking to the House Oversight and Reform Committeeright this very minute. Your buddy, Mark Meadows, did his best to delay the hearing claiming that the 24-hour rule was not followed and the written testimony arrived at his desk after 10 PM last night. I am so glad to hear that he is worried about the rules, but also glad that there's another rule that lets the rest of the committee bend the rules when they want to.

How are things in Hanoi? According to the Greenwich Times your trip has not been very well planned and some reporters had to switch hotels yesterday. That's too bad.

I'd recognize your new UN pick, Kelly Knight and tease you about her strange statement regarding climate change where she claimed to "respect both sides of the science."
…How was your visit with Chancellor Kurz yesterday? According to the NYT you two are kindred spirits and you are impressed with how young he is. The EU Observer claims you are not "best friends after all," because you want to put tariffs on Austria car parts and Sebastian doesn't want to waste tax payer money on the military. ..
…Feel free to give me a call so we can chat about it. According to today's WP you are the "chatterbox in chief" and like to have impromptu conversations with Senators. Apparently, they can call Madeleine Westerhout and she puts them through. I am not much of a phone person but, for you, I'll make an exception….
… Almost everyone is quoting your statement, "“I could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn’t need to do this [declare an emergency]. But I’d rather do it much faster.” I encourage you to exercise more caution in your remarks next time. Clearly it's not an urgent matter. If it were, you wouldn't be taking the weekend off for a few rounds of golf […]
