    👋🏻 I served as a senior staffer in @VP’s office & met with her daily. She makes sure every voice in every meeting is heard. She’s insightful & funny. She makes a point of warmly greeting interns and taking photos with them. Oh, and she brought me cupcakes on AF2 for my birthday.

    This press conference is one of the lowest moments in American democracy.

    I helped prepare the Obamas’ final Christmas message in 2016. For the record, they LOVED Christmas, and were honored to spend the holidays welcoming military families to the White House — “the People’s House.” I wrote about it here: google.com/amp/s/amp.usat… #MelaniaTapes

    I'm the speechwriter who wrote Obama's final Christmas message — Trump should give it a listen
    Even as a Jew, I was proud to celebrate Christmas in the Obama White House. Obama understood the importance of unity, charity in holiday celebrations.

    From my cousin in NYC: honking, cheering, celebrating. It’s over. It’s finally over. #bidenharis2020

    Wow. @Tim_Walz : “Make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump…. That’s not even counting the crimes he committed.” Separately “Mind your own damn business.” Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥

    I’m sure Donald Trump will react with calm & maturity to the trending hashtag #ObamaWasBetterAtEverything

    🚨 At long last updating with some overdue *personal news*: I’m honored to be head speechwriter for @VP Harris on the incredible Biden Harris team. This is my personal (mostly Red Sox related) account — for work stuff, I’ll be at @DaveCavell46.

    This @CNN town hall by @KamalaHarris is a master class. Empathetic. Hopeful. Direct. Clear. Honest. Informative.

    My husband & I have been raising kids for 27 years. Our eldest came to us when he was almost 3. His mom OD’d & his dad went to jail. There was no one to take care of this little boy, so we did. When you discriminate against LGBTQ couples, you deprive kids like mine of good homes.

    The best thing you’ll read today from my brilliant and brilliantly talented friend Azza on @KamalaHarris. “[She] never called a little girl cute or commented on her outfit; instead, she’d say, “You look like the smartest person in your class.”
    I Was Kamala Harris’ Videographer. I Wish I Could Show You What I’ve Seen.

    My friend @alexjgoldstein is doing such important and tragic work with his @FacesOfCOVID account. As he says: cases are spiking right now. Send this account to anyone who is considering putting others at risk or not taking this deadly virus seriously.
