    I served as US Ambassador in Hungary during Viktor Orbán’s crackdown on freedom of the press. But the independence of the Hungarian press was only truly extinguished when news outlets began “self-censorship” to avoid political reprisal. Democracy dies in darkness.

    I am so proud to endorse @PeteButtigieg to be the next president of the United States. He stands for everything I believe in. He's smart, he's young and energetic, and as a Navy veteran he knows what American power is and what it needs to be again. Please join me! #TeamPete

    Elected officials, labor leaders & businesspeople from every corner of CA are on #TeamKamala. She's the highest ranking black woman in US politics, which is a testament to her extraordinary capabilities & dedication to her work. She’s also made close, loyal friends along the way.

    Thank you Dasha Navalny for coming to San Francisco to spread the word about your heroic father, Alexey Navalny. I encourage everyone to see the incredible documentary – Navalny, which I had the opportunity to see this weekend.

    Our hearts go out to the Armenian community as violence escalates in Artsakh. The U.S. must engage immediately to deescalate this crisis.

    To the students, veterans, culinary workers, DREAMers, and those wondering whether this country will ever be their own: this is your campaign. We've built a movement around a new kind of politics with nearly 1 million supporters, and this is just the start.

    I visited all 58 counties of CA talking to voters during my campaign. I understand the power of those interactions. @PeteButtigieg’s success in Iowa and NH came from convincing voters he’s the right candidate to defeat Trump. Proud to be on #TeamPete

    California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis says Pete Buttigieg’s performance in Iowa and New Hampshire showed her he could win her state: “If you can convince voters on the ground that you're the one, chances are you're going to be able to take it all the way.” cnn.it/2Hlrn3G

    I am humbled to step in as Acting Governor today & be part of history as the first woman in California to sign a bill into law. I remain more determined than ever to ensure that while I may be the first to do so, I will certainly not be the last.

    I have learned so much from this incredible, fearless woman. She’s been my boss, mentor, supporter, and inspiration. Welcome back to California, @HillaryClinton! #GutsyWomen
