    Awkward but business as unusual in Washington. 20 years ago I remember sitting up in the Senate gallery watching the impeachment proceedings all afternoon. Hours later, everyone traipsed over to the House for the SOTU. Being a reporter is such an amazing job for a history buff.

    Here’s the important thing from @CMSgovPress: “The recent federal court decision is still moving through the courts, and the exchanges are still open for business and we will continue with open enrollment. There is no impact to current coverage or coverage in a 2019 plan.”

    It never ceases to amaze me how ⁦@megtirrell⁩ makws complex pharmaceutical information easy to understand in real time without dumbing it down. Truly a gifted journalist. (I’m not just saying that because she’s also among the most collegial people to work with!)

    The USDA listed Wakanda, the home of Marvel's Black Panther, as a free trade partner in a tariff tracker on its website. They took it off after we asked why it was listed. Still waiting for an answer from USDA. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u…

    When friends from Hartford left to help launch @CNBC in New Jersey, I'd never have imagined that I would wind up here, reading balance sheets during earnings season and liking it! (I'm sure my accounting TA couldn't have either) CNBC Launched 34 years ago today.

    ⁦@ReformedBroker⁩ is absolutely right. The #workers keeping store shelves restocked deserve our #gratitude . $TGT $KR $WBA $CVS And a round of applause as well for the drivers delivering those supplies.

    .@LLBean revises generous return policy because "a small, but growing number of customers has been interpreting our guarantee well beyond its original intent. Some... expecting refunds for heavily worn products used over many years." Now returns limited to 1-year.
