Transparency would be a start. It would enable congress, the public and the media to monitor compliance better.

Family members who want Donald Trump to succeed need to let his Chief of Staff do his job.
They need to get out of the way.

We can't know what she intended, but it sends the message of a challenge to his authority, a warning not to pull rank on her or Jared K.

Maybe send a letter asking WH about its mysteriously unsigned, undated retroactive ethics waivers or for copies of its ethics agreements.

I can tell you from experience that even a single stand can be costly. I'm sticking with courageous to describe this piece by the Senator.

This is big. This is serious. To those who underestimate the importance of ethics, I say this is the dangerous effect of tone from the top. twitter.com/billkristol/st…

I'll be on Morning Joe at around 8:40 this morning, give or take a little. See you there! (Disclaimer: I won't actually be able to see you.)

Alongside? This disrespectful tweet is a case for amending the anti-nepotism law to apply to White House -after OLC rev'd its 40yr precedent twitter.com/ivankatrump/st…

if they were as widely applicable as they were brief they might be ecumenical ephemeral entomological ontological questions

This began as a fantasy about seditious little questions that confound authoritarian instincts. It's late and I have to go tuck them in now.

Reposting: If their meaning is in the eye of the beholder are they equivocal ecumenical ephemeral entomological ontological questions?

I pegged you for episcopalian the minute I read ecumenical. It's like our secret handshake.

As a good episcopalian I should have added ecumenical before you got there, but I fear I've joined a knife fight with a paper clip.

I fancy the Feckless Lentils as a good name for a bunch of middle aged Washington lawyers covering 80s tunes by Axel Rose and Rick Astley.

If they were short questions would you call this an ephemeral entomological ontological question? Or just another malapropism?

Small consolation if I can't figure out how to use "ontological" in a satirical tweet about anthropomorphized questions.

If there's even the slightest chance I used "ontological" correctly, you can join me in imagining a PONC tweeting "I'm asked therefore I am"

This isn't an ontological thought exercise. If they've got a nasty infestation of PONCs, you can see why the 1st Amendment traumatizes them. twitter.com/waltshaub/stat…

If these questions were crawly pests would there be a taxonomic difference between the Pests of No Consequence and the Not Pertinent Pests? twitter.com/waltshaub/stat…
