Session revaluing, with the dow only losing 36 points and the nasdaq actually advancing a remarkable 2. 0 after being crushed. How in the the heck can this Health Care Debacle wasnt that supposed to spell the end of the trump rally . As somebody shouted from the rooftop this is weekend, and this very morning. I think we need a History Lesson here to answer that question. Lets go back to the beginning of this remarkable advance.

Of our own accord using the kinetics we have seen. We have seen Good Progress but it is insufficient and we will continue to lean on that. As it relates to the political process, we have through secretary kerrys efforts in the geneva process a pathway forward for the parties to work. And the biggest and most immediate challenge, i think particularly as it relates to the spillover is had refuge challenge and we will continue to work that. Continue to work that including perhaps opening our doors to more refuges . Not opening our doors but rather continuing decades long and generations long tradition of maintaining the doors open in this country as a source of refuge to to the worlds most vulnerable.

And graphics and presentations. Perhaps you feel as i do, every time we have not won a Pulitzer Prize is a great injustice. Apparently you do. But we know the truth and the truth no matter how much or organizations and journalist cawe covet this and should be heartened by the experts we see in the finalist. Amid this year of celebrations, it is worth reflecting that the pulitzers represents standards. High standards in an era where we have seen standards erode or under frontal assault. When we see distortion and disception and lazy reporting, the pulitzers remind us week take a different route. In pointing us in that direction, the value of the pulitzer is greater than it has ever been. Today we have two sessions that will allow us to do what the pulitzers sask us to do; dig deep.
