Welcome to #TwitterTuesday for the week.  The news has been full of information about the new SCOTUS nominee and the legal challenges to President Trump's immigration executive order.  Since state SGs play an important role in checking the president and preserving federalism, today we will feature a few state SGs to follow on Twitter:
