    THANK YOU to all who reached out in support today, after a guy yelled for me to “get out of his f-ing country” and that I was responsible for this virus. Thankful that in OUR country, the 1st amendment giving him the right to say that also gives us the right to keep on reporting.

    The image of a female VP standing at the tomb of the unknown soldier is not only striking because it's the first time we're seeing it...it's also that the very war during which this soldier died ended before women could vote in this country. @DanaBashCNN @brikeilarcnn @jaketapper

    We’ve been at an active scene in Antioch, TN for several hours. An FBI public information officer tells me teams are executing a court-authorized activity here. Bomb technicians first cleared the property as safe to enter, and evidence teams are going in and out of the house.

    .@Disneyland unveiled two brand new dolls *in wheelchairs* this morning at "It's a Small World"! Similar additions anticipated at WDW and DLP next year. Photos here sent to me by #Disneyland. Writing up this story soon.

    I just realized today is my 3-year anniversary at CNN. I almost didn’t remember, because frankly it feels like March 150th instead of September 5th. Feeling grateful to the people who have shared their stories with me, and to the friends and colleagues in my @CNN family. ❤️

    Replying to @NatashaChenCNN
    Neighbors we spoke to say an RV has been parked at that property. Investigators believe the RV seen via Google Street View at the house is the same one at the center of the explosion, a law enforcement source said, but they can’t be certain because it was destroyed in the blast.

    Congrats to @Acosta on his weekend anchoring gig! We talked about @GovKemp's press conference today, reacting to @MLB relocating its All-Star game that was originally planned to be in Atlanta: cnn.com/2021/04/03/us/…

    I'm devastated. My dear friend and @aaja mentor, @mariamercader, passed away last night from complications with Covid-19. She had beaten cancer multiple times. She gave the warmest hugs and the best advice. She was a fellow Disney fan. And I'll be forever grateful I knew her.

    Huge line of cars this morning outside @MBStadium in Atlanta for a food drive and voter registration drive. Some people in the cars told us they’d been laid off during the pandemic and had never been to a food drive before this year.

    Feeling so grateful for my 2nd dose! And this pharmacist, Warnitra, is the BEST. She gave me both doses over the past month - I’ve watched her handle crazy phone calls, chaos...She’s handled all of it with GRACE, and I’m so glad people like her are helping us all get vaccinated.
