President @ZelenskyyUa met with @SenJackReed and @SenAngusKing from the US. He thanked them for all the support Ukraine receives from the United States.

We are grateful to our Ally for bringing our Victory closer!

More tributes to the good Michael Gerson: “This world He created is of moral design. Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance, and love have no end. And the Lord of life holds all who die, and all who mourn.” https://t.co/6ON5LsQLzg

I will so miss Michael Gerson's company (his columns that made me a more tolerant & grace-filled person). “Even when strength fails, there is perseverance, & when perseverance fails, there is hope. & when hope fails, there is love. And love never fails.” https://t.co/no6RfPuHoj

Today we have the privilege of voting for those who will represent us. I’m worried that we have lost faith in this institution of our elections, and it’s one of the reasons I’m spending the day serving as an election official. Citizenship isn’t a spectator sport. @VettheVote

[Vet the Vote @vetthevote]

Did we hear @S_A_Cooper is volunteering as a poll worker today? #VetTheVote

This is worth remembering and watching again. In 2018 this video motivated me to do more for my community & my country. @MeghanMcCain your dad's legacy live on. A Call for Mavericks https://t.co/c5wYd0aRrS via @YouTube

I'm excited to join a group of more than 100 leaders across academia, business, and culture to launch @StartsWithUs, a new civic movement to empower all of us to strengthen ourselves & society by practicing curiosity, empathy, & the courage to collaborate across differences!

So, what to write for our first tweet. *twiddles thumbs* Well, we did a big thing today that you may want to check out. 🧵

[Scott Cooper @S_A_Cooper]

An important panel. Looking fwd to joining @JoePlenzler @MichaelEOHanlon @kathleen_belew @BrookingsInst @BraniffBill & @milleridriss https://t.co/n4Nz08K4Lj

U.S. national security can no longer be defined predominantly in hard-power terms. Strategic competition with Russia and China is playing out aggressively in other domains. https://t.co/nmc4WulWe1

Expanding the Conception of National Security "U.S. policy makers misread the threat if they narrowly focus on hardware, hard power, and traditional military might." https://t.co/GD3Af5NdIz

“And nothing that we have done as a nation since has been so catastrophically destructive as what we did when we were enraptured by the warm glow of victimization and felt like we could do anything, together.”

Why I read anything ⁦@PhilKlay⁩ writes. He gives me perspective. He bestows wisdom. And he eloquently challenges me to think hard about what I was part of during my time in the Marine Corps. Thanks, old friend. https://t.co/VQhnJibpmI

“The next time that feeling comes around, remember what it wrought. 9/11 unified America. It overcame partisan divides, bound us together, and gave us the sense of common purpose so lacking in today’s poisonous politics.”

[Scott Cooper @S_A_Cooper]

+1 @DrOz & @ServeUSA2gether know what it means to heal divides by rolling up our sleeves & doing the hard work of citizenship.

"Every 18 year old in America should have the opportunity to spend a year in service to our country in return for helping them pay for their education or get a permanent job." -By @DrOz in @dcexaminer: https://t.co/aAfIcroqLI #UnitedThroughNationalService #NationalService

Literally the epitome of a brilliant, selfless public servant. @SecDef & @DepSecDef are incredibly lucky to have her on their team.

[Senate Cloakroom @SenateCloakroom]

Good to be part of this conversation with @dan_murphy @CNBCi

[Dan Murphy @dan_murphy]

The momentum is “quite concerning” @S_A_Cooper tells me as clashes between the #Taliban and #Afghan forces intensify. @CNBCi

[Scott Cooper @S_A_Cooper]

@dan_murphy @CNBCi Grateful to speak with you!
