The midterms highlighted an increasing gap between rural & urban America. When it comes to discussions about communities and education, rural areas aren't often emphasized. It's time to restart those convos and I'm excited to see that happen R Street Institute Andy Smarick bit.ly/2r8oQ4N

Nothing like the House trying to clean House - if there is a will, there might actually be a way. This is such a big deal for our institutions that R Street Institute has published an #AINUpdate on this: bit.ly/2FgtLaz

I agree. Perhaps, in addition to the legislation we are already working on together to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, we can team up here as well. A simple, clean bill making birth control available over the counter. Interested?

"Democratic norms have been broken across all three branches of government, and our system of checks and balances has lost its teeth," writes Aubrey Neal of R Street Institute in The Fulcrum. thefulcrum.us/big-picture/br…

Most positive outcome of today's hearing: Dr. Fiona Hill showed congressmen, congresswomen and other politicos how they should act-with respect, professionalism, humility, honesty, duty and civility. Her demeanor was such a needed breath of fresh air. #ImpeachmentHearings
