Volker arrived at Capitol Hill on Thursday to testify in private to congressional investigators who want to ask about any role he may have played in Trump’s efforts to press Ukrainian officials Democratic demands test for damaging information about the son of former Vice President Joe Biden.

Be aware of a tendency to pull back and isolate yourself at times. Taking some downtime might work, but you don’t want to create a pattern. If single, you open up to many new possibilities. DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker The person you choose today could be different in a few months. Avoid commitments if possi- ble.
