@Keir_Starmer @Bundeskanzler @GiorgiaMeloni — the G20 summit is crucial for shaping future climate finance. Be vocal in calling for levies as a key tool for climate and development. The world needs your leadership. #G20Summit

@ReneeMontgomery Loved your appearance! You are reminding this downtown ATL resident and Dream fan that I need to make it to more games. Tell the parents that Morning Joe is also my favorite show! LOL. Good luck with all your ventures!

@smerconish Probably, as he is just manipulating fears and biases that already existed and are not going anywhere soon.

I assume that someone smarter and younger than Trump will follow him and have learned from his mistakes.

The King is dead, long live the King!

@JustinTrudeau @HonAhmedHussen #Canada can help make #history by eradicating #polio in our lifetime. I urge you to commit CAD$150 million to #endpolio initiatives over the next 3 years. Collective action today will shape a healthier tomorrow for #generations to come.

@Ash_Kalra, the decision to cancel the #AB2924 hearing puts California girls in danger of modern slavery. Will you step up and reschedule the hearing to protect them?

@smerconish What a great question!
That said, I would go with Trump can only beat #Biden as more accurate. #Trump is imploding due to legal and financial issues, before it is over I will be able to beat him.

@smerconish @CNN @cnni @jean_twenge It definitely contributes but there are so many factors.
At 58 yrs old I personally know the modern world overwhelms me in so many ways it did not when I was young & seems to get worse every day.
This has led to my mental health & depression being worse than ever.

@smerconish @CNN @cnni @Deptula_David I am sure I sound like some 60's peacenik but why does everything in our world seem to come down to violence & war?

When AI takes over it will immediately calculate that our species kills itself at such a high rate it is too stupid to survive already & not needed.

@smerconish @ClarkGSULaw I have no idea if Ms. Willis has done anything wrong legally but as a Downtown Atlanta resident within walking distance to her office I think she should step down simply for doing something so stupid. I know I have lost all confidence in her judgement.

@smerconish Mr. Smerconish,

I would like to think, and voted, no. With that said, the election could be a nail biter and you just never know.
One thing I do know, you are going to catch a whole bunch of backlash for a Taylor Swift election question.

Good luck!

Dear @alexanderdecroo @sanchezcastejon :
Sacrificing long-term priorities for short-term migration goals is a risky strategy.

Hello @WBHoekstra @MarosSefcovic @vonderleyen:

Please prioritise the #planet's #future! This #February is the #EU’s chance to set a bold #climate target: reduce #emissions by at least 95% by 2040. Clear timelines for the phase out of each #FossilFuels are needed.
