Suppressing intelligence on a major threat won’t make it go away. Climate disruption is the mounting global security crisis of our time, and history will judge how we rise to meet this challenge. https://t.co/hljPnoegLx

Tomorrow, I will be in Hollywood to advocate for Georgia women and Georgia film industry jobs, and I will encourage folks to #StayAndFight.

Everyone involved in this sort of thing will go down in history like the tobacco industry executives who buried the science showing cigarettes kill people.

One million species facing extinction in an emergency. Where is the White House on the effects of climate change?

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Today, Trump announced he is opposed to Mueller testifying before Congress. Before the American people.

He also opposes letting McGahn appear.

Barr’s testimony alone — designed to protect Trump — isn’t going to cut it.

They will testify. The American people deserve the truth.

[Ronald Klain @RonaldKlain]

It is interesting that our President is actively monitoring Twitter, but cannot bother to actively monitor the threat of Russian interference in our elections.

@Chas10Buttigieg Indeed, beauty is all around us, all the time. The magic is discovering it.

@gretacarnes What became of the wandering crawfish? Was it adopted? Maybe when Pete is in the White House, freeing one crawfish can be another tradition like pardoning the turkey Thanksgiving. Or maybe "First Fridays" will be a Buttigieg White House thing.

In so many ways, South Bend is our message. Thanks for the encouragement! https://t.co/8YlsbwtyoM

❌ Aiming for 50% of trips taken by walking/biking/transit is not enough
❌ Setting a goal for 2035 is too far away—this needs to happen in 10 years
✅ LA needs to radically redesign streets to serve pedestrians, bikes, buses

It's long overdue for women to be represented in our Constitution. The equal rights amendment is a critical, overdue step towards gender equality. #ERANow

[San Jose for Pete @sanjose4pete]

3 things I learned from @petebuttigieg taxes:

1. He left a high paying job in 2009 to go into public service - a big pay cut to Mayor.
2. He took additional pay cuts to serve active duty in the US Military.
3. He didn't marry for money.

@adamwren My sense is she’s giving people permission to not know how to pronounce his name (which is ridiculous, it’s not hard) while talking about him. I think if Oprah is talking about you in positive terms it’s 100% fabulous.

[Wilder Ells @ells_wilder]

@adamwren And super glad that she’s spreading the word about him to folks like Spielberg who may be into directing his film for the Democratic convention?

"We’re in this tectonic moment where things are changing around us. Something completely different is coming. It could be enlightened. It could be ugly. And people are looking for leadership that takes the long view.”

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

We could have stopped climate change but an entire political party repeatedly revived inaccurate refrains about the environment.

[Lis Smith @Lis_Smith]

Not really one for media commentary, but why on earth is @MSNBC and @kendisgibson giving a platform to a not even veiled homophobe like Chandelle Summer? That was like craziest and most offensive 5 mins I’ve seen on @Msnbc in awhile.

On this, the last day of Passover, my heart grieves for Poway and the Jewish community.

We must stamp out anti-semitism, bigotry and hate—wherever it is found, however it takes form. We must find common-sense solutions to end gun violence & ensure our right to safe communities.
