Dear Michelle Manning Barish,
There were plenty of jaw-dropping facts alleged in the article that lead New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to resign three hours after it was published by The New Yorker on Monday.

Spring Break provided an excellent opportunity to take a break from Twitter. And, given that I’d reached a point where I was defending Trump’s tariffs, I needed one. The world still turned despite me tuning it out for the longest stretch in my recent memory.

Remember how the “skinny repeal” of Obamacare failed to pass in the Senate by one vote last July? And how McCaskill’s “no” vote determined the outcome of that bill every bit as much as McCain’s did?
