Morning. A reminder that the proposed latest end date for the #Brexit process is currently XX.XX.XXXX. (Not because it’s supposed to be endless but because EU leaders have to pick a date tonight.) – at Brussels, Belgium

Truth exists and truth matters. Truth has always been the touchstone of our country’s justice system and political life. People who lie are held accountable. If we are untethered to truth, our justice system cannot function and a society based on the rule of law dissolves.

Just like a healthy marriage, AP style calls for clear communication. We also believe in the value of compromise. So as a reminder, the Stylebook doesn't prohibit all Oxford commas. If omitting a comma could lead to confusion or misinterpretation, then use the comma.
This is what happens when an AP style journalist marries an English major and the English major edits the wedding website copy

Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.

I’ve seen some people use the term burqa and niqab interchangeably. They’re not the same. I’ve never seen a woman with a burqa in the UK. Maybe the below image will help

If you want to understand the kind of bureaucratic fight the Air Force will mount to block this, imagine what the Navy would do if a president decided to make an "Undersea Force" and take away all its submarines.

The goal of the Outer Space Treaty was to prevent an arms race from extending into space. Pence, today, spoke about US space endeavors as a task to be handled by a branch of the US military.

VP Mike Pence giving an extended speech on the proposed "Space Force" is an example of how the power of the US presidency is such that even the most off-the-wall ideas coming from the Oval Office have to be taken seriously.
.@VP: "As @POTUS has said, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space, we must have American dominance in space, and so we will."
