People aren’t taking the “signal-gate” controversy seriously enough— mainly because no Americans got killed. But this mistake was egregious. And someone very well could have gotten hurt. And that “someone” could have been YOU. Or your family. Sharing sensitive national security https://t.co/92OE5kkEI0

On a dead planet, nobody gets to vote. So protecting nature is perhaps the one thing that should not be about politics. That’s why I’m supporting @ninp_org an organization protecting the natural world in a way that is truly nonpartisan. For too long, environmental issues have https://t.co/RpJv7pTwHl

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s reckless mishandling of USAID puts at risk the lives of millions of sick people around the world. The USA is beloved and admired for delivering life-saving medicines to people who need it. It’s an important part of our soft power. Our allies count on https://t.co/r14am6m35G

I am at Auschwitz, 80 years to the date after the Soviets liberated this death camp from the Nazis. I don’t have words. Imagine a factory for murdering people. I remember the 3,000 Americans whom Al-Qaeda slaughtered on 9-11. We still have not truly recovered as a nation. https://t.co/JAwcqBhn92
