A nice tribute to my friend and mentor John L. Allen Jr. of @Crux and Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, CA. The man towered over the rest of us. I will miss him.
John L. Allen Jr., the editor-in-chief of @Crux whose decades-long career in journalism defined him as one of the authoritative voices on the Vatican and the Catholic Church, died Thursday, Jan. 22. He was 61.

Unearthing this tweet from @evangershkovich, the last one he wrote before his unjust detention. So much has transpired since you were gone. Welcome back, Evan.
Prigozhin has worn out the patience of much of the Kremlin establishment but maintains the backing of Yuri Kovalchuk, a close friend of Putin and a power broker in Moscow, people close to the Kremlin told us. Story w/ @tggrove and @benoitfaucon https://t.co/IM3Ss1Jb1t
Daring to surf Teahupo’o requires a willingness to place yourself at the intersection of an unstoppable force and an immovable object. The most terrifying venue in Olympic history.

Instead of bringing "clarification," Macron’s snap elections have driven France into a political fog. Avoiding a hung parliament will be hard in a lower house divided in three by large blocs with diametrically opposed agendas. w/ @NBisserbe https://t.co/UJvwQ1MvpY
🇫🇷🇮🇹 The far-R National Rally’s Jordan Bardella reminds me of the Italian far-R — the League & Brothers of Italy — for his shape-shifting. Great profile @SMeichtry @NBisserbe https://t.co/elfgrUoYD3
The question now looming over Emmanuel Macron is whether he will go down in history as the man who ushered Marine Le Pen and her far-right party to the threshold of power in France. https://t.co/dsoaX8kMdW via @WSJ@SMeichtry@NBisserbe
Macron’s one time mentor, Alain Minc, has strong words on the “historic error” France’s president has committed by calling early elections. He says Macron is living in a world of “fiction” to think he has a chance of winning. Post-election, the best France can hope for is chaos.
In calling snap elections, @EmmanuelMacron is gambling that Le Pen’s victory on Sunday will produce a backlash among voters who will form yet another “Republican front” at the polls to keep her forces out of office. https://t.co/kuu3m19IFK via @WSJ

France’s @EmmanuelMacron has defied the U.S. and Germany by pushing @NATO countries to consider all options in Ukraine, unsettling the alliance.
