1/ THRILLED to share my 1st @BrennanCenter

Government works. And government works, and is worth believing in, because of good people. Government workers are heroes. I'm sending gratitude and admiration to all these people and their families today.
Thank you for this beautiful articulation, @cfishman.

Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday.

Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge.
