1/ Congratulations to #RidgelineBacked @eclypsium for raising $25M led by @1011vc! 🎉

[ridgelinevc @ridgelinevc]

It was a pleasure speaking with @rebecca_szkutak @TechCrunch about our $52M Fund I announcement! @mcmahoad @Sam_Ben_Walker

If you're going to try to influence policy by pushing for a controversial measure, I think it's your duty to a) be clear and b) engage the best counterarguments to your proposal, and, if relevant, c) offer some new ideas or specifics on how to proceed. Assertion won't cut it.

Here is a recording of Sunday night @TwitterSpaces discussion and expert analysis of war in Ukraine w/ @KofmanMichael and @RALee85

Based on the demand we are thinking of doing another update this coming Sunday. Stay tuned!

@AerospaceNew @KTmBoyle This is incredibly important. It still feels like the NatSec world and Tech are talking past each other and the myriad DoD innovation initiatives are all too often bridges to nowhere.

@wc_quinn It’s a tough world out there.

@DrJJoyner @EvansRyan202 What does that mean?

Today our team took out a full page ad in the @washingtonpost in support of a #PriceOnCarbon.

An efficient, fast, and just transition will be much easier when we price carbon pollution, and give the proceeds back to the people.

Eight innocent people were killed in Atlanta yesterday at the hands of a white supremacist terrorist. Please consider donating to Asian Americans Advancing Justice as they support those who were impacted. Link in comments. #StopAsianHate

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

A lot of the coverage of GA's Senate races has focused on the wealthier northern ATL suburbs, but if both Dems win tonight, they'll have the much more African-American southern ATL suburbs to thank. #GASEN

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go...but well done!

[Ben Walker @Sam_Ben_Walker]

@GeorgePapa19 So close. One more try?

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Republicans, now is the time to defend American democracy.

History will remember what you do in this moment of crisis.

Speak up or stay silent. Both are a choice and a statement.

[Ben Walker @Sam_Ben_Walker]

What she did in GA is replicable across the country.

[Susan Rice @AmbassadorRice]

Either way this goes in Georgia, we owe @staceyabrams our greatest gratitude and respect. Rarely does one person deserve such disproportionate credit for major progress and change.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Jared and Ivanka have always been entitled, out-of-touch bullies who have never given the slightest indication they have any regard for the American people.

We plan on showing them the same level of respect.

Our full statement:

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

“Ohhh no. I’m sorry. The answer we were looking for was ‘One soldier lost is too many and I will find out what happened. Thank you to our intelligence agencies for protecting those who defend our freedom.’ You lose control of the presidency.”

[Eliot A Cohen @EliotACohen]

This is an example of the kind of moral courage we need from our leaders, in uniform and out. The ability to admit a mistake, a clear assertion of some very basic principles, and a willingness to get crosswise with this president while doing so. @thejointstaff
