It was a pleasure speaking with @rebecca_szkutak @TechCrunch about our $52M Fund I announcement! @mcmahoad @Sam_Ben_Walker

If you're going to try to influence policy by pushing for a controversial measure, I think it's your duty to a) be clear and b) engage the best counterarguments to your proposal, and, if relevant, c) offer some new ideas or specifics on how to proceed. Assertion won't cut it.

To those at Reagan National Defense Forum #RNDF, if there’s one BLUF you take away from the weekend, you should know: Time is running out with Silicon Valley.

Today our team took out a full page ad in the @washingtonpost in support of a #PriceOnCarbon.
An efficient, fast, and just transition will be much easier when we price carbon pollution, and give the proceeds back to the people.

Eight innocent people were killed in Atlanta yesterday at the hands of a white supremacist terrorist. Please consider donating to Asian Americans Advancing Justice as they support those who were impacted. Link in comments. #StopAsianHate

A lot of the coverage of GA's Senate races has focused on the wealthier northern ATL suburbs, but if both Dems win tonight, they'll have the much more African-American southern ATL suburbs to thank. #GASEN

With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go...but well done!

Republicans, now is the time to defend American democracy.
History will remember what you do in this moment of crisis.
Speak up or stay silent. Both are a choice and a statement.
What she did in GA is replicable across the country.
Either way this goes in Georgia, we owe @staceyabrams our greatest gratitude and respect. Rarely does one person deserve such disproportionate credit for major progress and change.

Jared and Ivanka have always been entitled, out-of-touch bullies who have never given the slightest indication they have any regard for the American people.
We plan on showing them the same level of respect.

“Ohhh no. I’m sorry. The answer we were looking for was ‘One soldier lost is too many and I will find out what happened. Thank you to our intelligence agencies for protecting those who defend our freedom.’ You lose control of the presidency.”
Nobody briefed or told me, @VP Pence, or Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians, as reported through an “anonymous source” by the Fake News @nytimes. Everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us.....

This is an example of the kind of moral courage we need from our leaders, in uniform and out. The ability to admit a mistake, a clear assertion of some very basic principles, and a willingness to get crosswise with this president while doing so. @thejointstaff

It is a mark of how extraordinary - how appalling - the times are, that ADM Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has written this. It is, in a way, a smaller breach of a norm in order to protect much larger norms. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

We’d be a lot better off if people understood the difference between saying someone is:
- a “Russian asset/operative/agent” (e.g. Ames, Hanssen, Hiss)
vs.
- a “useful idiot” (e.g. Gabbard)
vs.
- an easy, incidental means for a foreign power to sew chaos.
