Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect.  All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.

I want to leave Matthew Perry’s own words here as the way we remember him. There will never be another like him- he lit up so many hearts in so many ways. Godspeed to Paradise!

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

The great Tony Bennett has passed away at the age of 96. He was the last of his kind, a master of the American songbook. He may have left his Heart in San Francisco, but he won all of our hearts, from Sinatra to Lady Gaga. Be at peace, and sing to us now from the stars, Tony.

@NJTRANSIT_NEC Thank you for the update? Is the signal issue resolved?

[Civically Woke 🌊 @CivicallyWoke]

@NJTRANSIT_NEC Any updates on this? Need to be able to plan accordingly

@DrPhilDixon @FamousAmosPhoto Saw whet owls are tiny (only up to 8” tall), so your sighting must have been a different species, but still a wonderful sight to behold, I’m sure!

[Julian Lennon @JulianLennon]

I’m calling on world leaders and everyone who believes in the sentiment of IMAGINE, to stand up for refugees everywhere!

Please advocate and donate from the heart. #StandUpForUkraine

Some of the hardest things to watch are the most important things to see. Don't look away.

MSNBC has a talent problem on its hands. Brian Williams told network management on Tuesday that he is passing on their offer of a new contract. So MSNBC has a big opening at 11pm ET, but that's not all... https://t.co/juwboEyCgw

The last thing before we go…

A message from Brian.

[Katy Tur @KatyTurNBC]

Brian Williams gave me my first break at NBC News and then championed me for years. Yes he’s a great broadcaster but more importantly he’s a good dude. He’s also very funny. I hope whatever is next includes golden technical miscues like this one https://t.co/6tZn8nLfxc

Unforgettable moment the only time I ever played with Hall and Oates…

June 1, 1993: Brian Williams makes his NBC News debut, filling in as Today's newsreader for a week before assuming his role as a national correspondent. Within months, he would also become the anchor of the Saturday edition of Nightly News.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

Tonight, I proudly signed the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework and sent it to @POTUS to be signed into law. This bill delivers a once-in-a-century investment in our infrastructure, creates good-paying jobs and takes a crucial step to #BuildBackBetter For The People.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.

[Chris Vanderveen (yep…me) @chrisvanderveen]

Reminder to all journalists...

This is how Minneapolis initially reported the death of #GeorgeFloyd

[Rey A. Saldaña @rey4sa]

George Floyd’s last breath sparked an important movement for justice. You can't achieve real racial justice based on a single verdict. Justice requires a change in our culture, policies & our behaviors. We must see it in our courts, communities, schools and in every institution.
