    #JoeBiden was a guest lecturer in 2018 for my seminar when I was teaching at @Penn; #GeorgeWBush and I lectured each other on the campaign trail in 2000. I’ve known both for decades; logged a lot of time with both; been in touch with both recently.

    I guess this is @PeteButtigieg night. This answer to a question on “late term” abortion embodies the kind of decency, detail and respect that we used to think was possible—even required—in our politics. We’ve all been complicit in the decline; he’s a step back towards sanity.

    I've watched @alfranken unfairly bracketed w/ accused serial sexual predators. He & I've been family friends for decades. As a comic, he could be crude. He went too far (& apologized). BUT: he's NOT predatory, adores his wife & family & is a lifelong champion of women's rights.

    I ask again: By what authority and at whose command are these #Trump vigilantes on the streets of #Portland? There is no more urgent question in public life. Seriously.

    This is Howard’s wife, Amy Nathan. I am heartbroken to share my brilliant and extraordinary husband passed away late last night surrounded by those he loved most, his family. He valiantly battled pancreatic cancer for 2 years. He couldn’t have been adored more. The world was a

    I didn’t know this, but someone in a position to know told me that @realDonaldTrump’s morning national security briefing now is mostly pictures, drawings and simple charts because officials realized that he won’t read any text. He doesn’t trust or rely on the briefs in any case.

    Very solid #Dem House leadership source just confirmed to me that @SpeakerPelosi will announce a formal impeachment inquiry this afternoon and imply that she herself favors impeachment of @realDonaldTrump.

    Further: @realDonaldTrump WH called the top #PA and #Pittsburgh officials one at a time and lied to each that the others had agreed. WH did the same to #Schumer and #Pelosi. No one bit. WH also trying to push #Trump into hospital rooms of victims but most want no part of him.

    This picture of #Trump at Andrews after the #Tulsa disaster is unlike any we’ve ever seen. Ever the dime-store dramaturg, he’s undone his tie and put on the look of a defeated man. He thinks he’s crafting a new script as a Comeback Kid. He doesn’t realize that he really HAS lost.

    My God #TreeofLife synagogue in #Pittsburgh is the loving, dignified place where my sister and I attended, and our parents taught, Sunday school; where I was bar mitzah; where my sister wore to class a velvet jumper my mother made; the deep Jewish roots of my own tree of life.

    Best @JoeBiden speech tonight I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been covering him since 1987. Calm, dignified, with his smart and capable wife Jill beside him.

    My best vote-counter source in #PA now predicting final #Biden victory margin of 200K - 300K. That’s a tick up from a few hours ago.
