-12 seats

When Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May called a snap election in April, her party had 330 seats in Parliament, slightly more than the 326 required for a majority. Expecting she could beat Labor soundly and bolster her support, she called an unscheduled election. This went extremely badly for her. With some results still being finalized, Conservatives lost 12 seats in Thursday’s election; Labour gained 31. Conservatives can still form a government, but they’ll need help.

2nd longest break

President Trump may be a Twitter addict, but he just refrained from firing off any 140-character thoughts for one of the longest stretches of time since launching his bid for the presidency. As of earlier today, his most recent tweet was Wednesday, and despite reports he considered live-tweeting the congressional testimony of his fired FBI director, POTUS had been mum. Until, that is, he re-entered the fray at 6:10 a.m. Eastern this morning. [The Washington Post]

233 Republicans

It was an almost perfect party-line vote, 233-186. Among members who voted on the legislation, all 185 Democrats were opposed and all but one Republican was in favor.
