R.I.P. Stephen Hawking. Among his many profound contributions to this world was this simple sentiment: “It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love.”

Our democracy is in deep, deep peril if a significant number of Americans are only prepared to see election results as legitimate if their preferred candidate wins.

This is actually immensely moving to watch today. After everything he had gone through, John Lewis had such irrepressible joy in him. And he just kept trusting. @jdickerson @StephenAtHome

A flag is not a strategy. Trump is surrounded by sycophants (having fired those who’ve dissented). He has purged Iran specialists. He has abolished NSC processes to review contingencies. He is seen as a liar around the world. This is likely to get very ugly very quickly.

.@realDonaldTrump seems to have deleted his repugnant tweets slamming San Juan mayor & others in Puerto Rico. Sadly US presidents don’t get to delete bad decisions. Impulse control, bad judgment & cruelty have huge consequences.

That @realDonaldTrump thought it a good idea to release this transcript is a staggering testament to the endemic corruption of his administration. He and his close advisers have lost the ability to even see what’s incriminating.

STOP THIS, headline writers. If you want to quote this president in a headline - in an age when many people read only headlines - you must write, “Trump (a proven, serial liar) says...” But best not to quote him in a headline.

As a journalist, activist, and diplomat, I’ve seen the world-changing impact of @USAID. At this critical moment, I feel immensely fortunate to have the chance to serve again, working with the incredible USAID team to confront COVID-19, climate change, humanitarian crises, & more.

We stand with the Iranian people so much that we won’t let them come here.

It is Jan. 5, 2019: we have no Secretary of Defense & now no DoD chief of staff, no Attorney General & no evident guardrails in Trump’s inner circle. The President is unhinged - even GOP zealots know it. Rs inside & outside the admin must stop enabling Trump & protect America.

NBC reporting the Pentagon Chief of Staff has resigned. This within 24 hours of Trump claiming he can call national emergency and direct DOD to build a wall.
