Democracy is nonnegotiable.

@alexandrabotez Maybe you and Andrea get some of each others roasts.

[Erik @ErikNorwegian]

@alexandrabotez But can it still be considered a roast when they mistake you being someone else?

@SecBlinken @WhiteHouseGPC @POTUS Women make up 50% of the world - basic ethical sanity requires we don’t tolerate their subjugation or mistreatment. At the same time, torrents of communism exist behind the guise of feminism, gender equity/rights, etc. Countries vary greatly on this. Keep both priorities in view.

@BillAckman Some rich people go a step beyond that and move to a different country in order to avoid taxes. Like come on.

@lexfridman Not everybody is equally insane.

@IAFsite Look into getting snowmobiles.

@davidfrum Hitchens was a perfect example of a Marxist later becoming a liberal (and a liberal hawk). He even became one of the most prominent intellectuals to publicly defend the invasion if Iraq (which deserved more serious debate). Also, nicotine helps make great writing.

@DepSecDef Perhaps the Pacific should have a comprehensive defense pact/alliance, possibly modeled like NATO.

@NeriOxman It’s either an incredible coincidence or it’s extraterrestrials. If it was extraterrestrials, how did they plan this thousands of years before the meter was defined?

[Erik @ErikNorwegian]

… as president affect your political opinions? (I don’t consider Bloomberg similar to Trump; you met both.)

[Erik @ErikNorwegian]

@BillAckman Bill, around the time of previous elections you argued for having more politicians with business backgrounds; at various times you supported Mike Bloomberg. After Trump won in 2016 you said you felt bullish about his presidency. How did the years with Trump…

[Defense of Ukraine @DefenceU]

On the eve of the anniversary of the full-scale invasion, on the Day of Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred, our most reliable partner, the United States of America, sends a powerful message to our enemy: tyranny will not defeat the Free World!
Welcome to Ukraine, Mr.President @POTUS

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Productive call with President Abbas. I reaffirmed our commitment to a negotiated two-state solution and opposition to policies that endanger its viability. Israelis and Palestinians must take steps that restore calm including avoiding escalatory unilateral measures.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Productive call with @netanyahu to discuss regional developments. I reiterated our strong support for a negotiated two-state solution and underscored the urgent need for Israelis and Palestinians to take steps to restore calm and our opposition to escalatory unilateral measures.

@INDOPACOM Today I learned the Osprey can formation fly with fighter jets.

In her #MSC2023 address, US @VP Kamala Harris put a spotlight on #accountability and justice for the crimes committed in #Ukraine.

We know that a range of entities operate objects at high altitudes for purposes that are not nefarious.

But make no mistake, if any object presents a threat to the safety and security of the American people, I will take it down.
