Trump plans to sign an order tomorrow that will pave the way for drilling in National Parks. Here's a list of phone numbers in one place. pic.twitter.com/TjSfEaiP0i

And if DH does stay in a different hotel, just bat away all enquiries with, "Oh thank you, but I prefer X Hotel". Rinse and repeat as necessary.

There's not too much offence they can take if he just smiles, declines to elaborate, and moves the conversation on.

While at the same time he needn't lie or validate any Trumpery on their side.

Spicey live now. Question time just started and straight in to Michael Flynn asking why the WH are blocking documents for the enquiry

Tommy Christopher‏ @tommyxtopher
lol, Spicer has a video presentation of a webpage that the WH built in honor of the "ridiculous standard" of the First 100 Days

Pain I thought you'd appreciate it

I see Ivanka had a difficult time. Sad.

The New Yorker has some great titles there:

Jared Kushner Calls Kim Jong-un “Totally Unqualified Person” Who Got Job Only Through Nepotism

Putin Angrily Resigns from Trump’s Reëlection Campaign

Caroline O.‏ @RVAwonk
Q: Did Flynn break the law by not disclosing Russia/Turkey?

Sean Spicer: "That would be a question for him and law enforcement." ...🙃

Well. That shows what the market thinks.

John Harwood‏ @JohnJHarwood
Spicer calls it "outlandish" to expect WH to turn over information on NSA-pick Flynn's phone calls during transition to Trump administration

Spicey's hair colour job is becoming daily more approximate. Still - he's still taking the salary.

The wal the wall the wall... Spicey is waffling big time and no one is any clearer

Jim Sciutto‏ @jimsciutto

.@PressSec essentially arguing WH had no role and/or responsibility in vetting Flynn as president's national security advisor

Nick Brooke‏ @HiDrNick
Replying to @joemamma_1 and 6 others
Flynn is being hurled under the bus head first. Chaffetz emphasizes that Flynn's treason happened in 2015, before Trump. That's the angle.

Brutal question about when the White House will be staffed up enough to develop and negotiate complex legislative goals. [No real answer.]

I wouldn't be taking any long weekends away if I were Bannon.

He doesn’t really want to stay there as he doesn’t want to further line the Trump pockets but at the same time he doesn’t want to be seen to be snubbing the company. Eek! What should he do?

Take a permanent marker and write seditious notes on the walls, and fill up comment cards with critiques of Trump

I like how Rush Limbaugh keeps talking of a "measly billion dollars" in relation to the wall.
Perhaps he could donate it, then.

And fund Meals on Wheels, public school funding, etc, etc, that Trump is taking funds from.

The brief clip I saw of Ivanka on the news was not good. She came across as, well, vapid. All breathy whispering, I half expected her to toss her hair a la a shampoo commercial.

I'm sure she's very smart and playing a game, but my god I hate women who "play dumb".

....a measly billion dollars....

As if!

They're readying the scene for a 'soft landing' it smells like.

The ever delightful Stephen Colbert:

Ah Yes. The '(unintelligible)'.

This article talks a bit about the links between local elections and general elections, and how people tend to vote differently when they are held at the same time. I think the local elections next week will give us a good indication of how things are likely to go in June.

What will the 2017 local elections tell us about the general election?
