VICTORY: @GovWhitmer just signed universal background checks & safe storage into law!

This is why elections matter. This is why we can never stop fighting for a safer future.

Michigan leaders followed through on their promises to honor victims and survivors with action. #mileg

The first time I was prescribed an anti-depressant came after a heart-breaking job layoff and brave cross-country move to a new workplace. Unfortunately, it was a place where verbal abuse by management was not only tolerated but en…https://t.co/8IXUEnFL6j https://t.co/OdtEY22WNP

I remember when certain Florida governors would lock out certain news organizations (including mine at the time, Gannett News Service) for writing negative stories. That was wrong, and so is this. Do they think that the news about them will actually impr…https://t.co/4rJJ1AjjHK

When I was a reporter, I noticed that readers didn't really understand the difference between a news story and an opinion piece/op ed. I think there's an opportunity for the #journalism industry to make that delineation. News and o…https://t.co/mH9Z0KfGt9 https://t.co/pUpZ19Ad5p

@lucytimes is an amazing person and journalist, and I feel so lucky to have known her back in my days at the Florida Capitol Press Corps. This shows the toll that reporting can take on people in the media when they follow their passion and mission for tru…https://t.co/CA7HE6mg6H

One of my favorite jobs was being a political reporter for the Nashville Banner and I was crushed when it closed in 1998. I'm thrilled to see a modern version resurrected by Demetria Kalodimos and my former co-worker Steve Cavendish. These are challenging…https://t.co/9o8MUkQOKJ

Try to do something this week to help someone else in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It will make you feel better. And it will be a small but measurable step in helping heal our world.

@MonicaLewinsky Each state has its own laws regarding automatic recounts. For example in the 2000 election between Bush and Gore, Florida law stated that a recount was automatic if the vote count between the candidates were within one half of 1%

@MonicaLewinsky As a mental health advocate, I thank you!

Super stoked to learn at #namicon2020 that #kenburns is doing a new documentary for 2022 called "Hiding in Plain Sight: Our Mental Health Crisis." It's about our youth mental health crisis.

There she was, just like a unicorn. A white deer, right on the banks of the Cumberland River as we drove by in a pontoon boat. Such a rare and magical experience! #unicorn #whitedeer #cumberlandriver @ Cumberland River https://t.co/dfUpNWsuuV
