Worth keeping in mind that the Obama administration only got 167 votes when it ran for HRC for first time (ending Bush admin's boycott) in 2009. So it's a step up. https://t.co/2flk6MID4P

British Conservative lawmaker David Amess was stabbed to death on Friday while meeting with constituents at a church in eastern England. In June 2016 Labour Party lawmaker Jo Cox was fatally stabbed and shot in her northern England constituency. twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon…
Elected representatives from across the political spectrum will be united in sadness and shock today. In a democracy, politicians must be accessible and open to scrutiny, but no-one deserves to have their life taken while working for and representing their constituents
