Happy 97th birthday, President Carter! Thank you for the extraordinary example of lifelong service that you've set for all of us.

HELP FIND MIYA: Miya Marcano is still missing. We suspect foul play. Person of interest Armando Caballero was found dead today. It appears he killed himself.
Caballero was a maintenance worker at Arden Villas, where Miya lives, works & was last seen.

We grieve for the Americans murdered in Pittsburgh. All of us have to fight the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently. And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.

I don’t want to live in an America with armed guards at every grocery store, theater, church, school, restaurant, and park.
I want to live in an America where everyone takes a background check to buy a gun & red flag laws aren’t controversial.
An America the NRA doesn’t own. – at Tallahassee, FL

Despite what this White House claims, separating families is not mandated by law. That is an outright lie, and it’s incumbent on all of us – journalists and citizens alike – to call it just that.

Those who selectively use the Bible to justify this cruelty are ignoring a central tenet of Christianity. Jesus said "Suffer the little children unto me." He did not say “let the children suffer.”

We should be heartbroken to see families torn apart, but we should not be hopeless. There’s something you can do right now to help.

The test of any nation is how we treat the most vulnerable among us. First Lady @LauraWBush made that case eloquently. nitter.gq/laurawbush/status/1008…
I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.

I still believe in the vision we share for our country. We will elect politicians and enact legislation to protect the most vulnerable among us – but first, we have to address the urgent needs of families at the center of this crisis. Give today. Please. secure.actblue.com/donate/fa…

We should be a better country than one that tears families apart, turns a blind eye to women fleeing domestic violence, and treats frightened children as a means to a political end.

Michelle and I are so inspired by all the young people who made today’s marches happen. Keep at it. You’re leading us forward. Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change.
Do you think these Senators negotiating whether the government shuts down in fifteen minutes would be so relaxed at this hour if THEIR salaries were going to stop tomorrow and THEIR jobs were going to be furloughed???
We call on world leaders at #UNGA to help children outside of families by ensuring #AllChildrenCount in the #SDGs. #Hopeland
