My advice for young professionals?

Move to DC. Live in the group row home. Build the work wardrobe. Find the free happy hours. Say yes. Walk around mall at night. Take the metro. Chill in Logan Circle. Be a menace in AdMo/U Street.

Move to DC in your early career. No regrets.

Really missing those days when the most dramatic thing to happen on #DCTwitter was Rusty the Red Panda escaping from the @NationalZoo

With this speech, Mitt Romney cements his legacy as a towering figure in modern American history.

[NBC News NOW @NBCNewsNow]

"We gather due to a selfish man's injured pride. And the outrage of supporters who he has deliberately misinformed for the past two months - and stirred to action this very morning. What happened...was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States."

This. The implications on America’s standing internationally are heartbreaking.👇👇👇👇

Will take decades before American officials talk with foreign officials about importance of free and fair elections peaceful transfer of power without having the horrors of January 6th thrown back in their faces.
January 6th will join 9/11 and Dec 7th as days that live in infamy.

If today had been an episode of @ScandalABC, people would have been like “nahhhh nice try @shondarhimes, way too unrealistic”

Petition to declare 1/20/21 the real start of the New Year so we can add coup d’etat on the U.S. Capitol into the dumpster fire that was 2020?

A great piece providing one of the best analysis of what motivated TR's president to convert Hagia Sofia back to a mosque & without any mention of the legacy & significance of the Lausanne Treaty adopted on the same day in 1923: https://t.co/S0u6Exws3e

Fiona Hill: "China should be the skunk at everybody’s party. They don’t want to take responsibility for letting a localized virus become a global pandemic. And now with the US in a prostrate position, they can step in and take on a leader’s role." https://t.co/VEhBHFRp99

How 🇨🇳 is winning hearts & minds in Europe amid #Covid_19 crisis: a medical supplies cargo just arrived in Athens, wrapped with a quote from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (‘friendship is one soul dwelling in two bodies’). This is not without political consequences for the future

[Jen Potvin @jkpotvin]

Incredibly troubling if Palestinian reports of #COVIDー19 in the Gaza Strip are true. Incredibly high population density & I can’t think of a hospital system less prepared for this right now: https://t.co/M1SuE1R810

My new piece in @TheAtlantic is out today:

The Chinese regime *is* to blame, and we shouldn't be coy about saying so. To say that this is racism is absurd. A regime is not a race
