This is Christopher. The blue check mark was removed today per Twitter policy. While this remains the official Twitter account of Anne’s estate, our community is most active on Facebook, where you can join us among Anne’s beloved “People of the Page”.
This is Anne’s son Christopher and it breaks my heart to inform you that earlier tonight Anne passed away due to complications resulting from a stroke. Below is the statement I shared on her Facebook page moments ago.
Can we start right here on twitter a simple movement demanding that Trump resign, for the sake of the country? No signatures, no tallies, no organization -- just tweets and emails, requesting this over and over again. Let's see what we the people can do.
I want to see the entire unedited Mueller Report in the hands of Congress. When Congress tells me they must redact it for the public, then I will accept that. I say subpoena the Report, & Mueller. Let's keep up the demand! RT if you agree.
Once this Trump nightmare has collapsed, once the Democrats are again in power, we must seriously address the level of lying that came from the Trump WH and from Fox news. We have to take this seriously. We have to legislate to prevent this ever happening again.
The abortion issue troubles me mightily and always has. Those who support the legality of abortion do not seek to force anything on anyone. Those who are against the legality actively seek to control others, and the full heat of their wrath falls on the poor and working class.
@robreiner
You said it, Rob. That is why I feel Trump must not be pardoned. After years of feeling powerless , we need to witness the man being held to account.
America is happy again. People are relieved. I see it. I feel it. I feel safe now with Joe & Kamala. I feel proud of my country & eager to see what the future holds.
Watching "The Witcher." Henry Cavill is one beautiful man. In the opening scene, as he fights a monster, I saw in him, with the long blond hair, a hero like my Lestat. Every now and then that happens for me. It's fun. Henry Cavill is beautiful and marvelous.
I’m on an airplane that’s boarding. A woman walking past me leaned down & quietly said thank you & smiled. I can’t tell you all how much the many kindnesses like that these past few years mean to me. It’s an honor to be involved & I appreciate all of you.
One thought I cannot shake: we must never, never make this mistake again: never, never elect some one as unfit, unqualified, morally questionable, and utterly disreputable as the present occupant of the WH. Day after day we see the presidency debased and disgraced.
Joe Biden. That's my candidate now. I urge my fellow Democrats in Super Tuesday states to vote for Biden. Can he beat Trump? He already has! Think of what Trump did to try to ruin Biden. It resulted in Trump's impeachment & Biden has triumphed -- completely.
@JoeBiden
What are Republicans thinking? I get wanting to defend your man but Trump’s abuses involve national security; his lies support Putin! Don’t Republicans care? Don’t they want safe elections? Don’t they want us to be wary of Russia?
What is it that Republicans are willing to burn this country down for? Destroy the rule of law over? Is it for Trump? Is that the kind of future they want for our country?
Consider coming back to the Democratic Party in 2018. We have always represented the poor, the working class, the disenfranchised, the needy. We have always sought to increase jobs, raise wages, provide health care to as many as possible. That's why I'm a Democrat.
Proud to cast my vote in Tuesday's California primary for
@PeteButtigieg
. Pete is the one we need to defeat Donald in November. I hope you'll join me on
#SuperTuesday
and beyond.
I'm 78 years old, & a great believer in the wisdom of the old. But I don't want a president who is my age. Not when the brilliant, talented, & uniquely experienced Pete Buttigieg is running. He's the person for me. His age is his greatest asset.
When Trump is impeached, I feel strongly that Pence must be impeached with him. We cannot see some one who lies to the American people so boldly and so often become another unfit president.
This is the voice I listen to; the voice I hear. Pete Buttigieg doesn't attack other candidates. He doesn't shout. Rather, he speaks calmly, and with compelling sincerity. He fills me with hope for our future. He's my candidate.
To bring about a better future, we have to know what we’re about. This election is not about anyone running for office, it’s about making things better for the people who trust us with their lives. Together, we will win a better era for our country.
#DemDebate
Pete Buttigieg was for me the perfect candidate for president -- brilliant, eloquent & uniquely qualified. I have no doubt he will remain a vital part of our national political conversation. Thank you, Pete, for all you have achieved.

@MSNBC
This season I give thanks for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the most professional law enforcement agency in the world. I miss working with you every day. Thank you.
I highly recommend Chris Matthew, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Lawrence O'Donnell, Bryan Williams...all of the team at MSNBC for the finest investigative journalism on TV today. They speak truth to power. They are the voice of the people.
I have voted! And I voted for Biden and Harris. And I urge all of you, my fellow Americans, to vote. No matter what your party, vote. And tell folks that you've voted.
What do people like William Barr & Kellyanne Conway think they will do AFTER the Trump administration is history? Do they think Trump will last forever? Is there no thought given to how they will ever live down the stands & statements they make now?
@TomSteyer
@maddow
@hardball
Attorney General Barr is putting himself between the Mueller Report and the American people. He has no place there.
Get out of the way, release the Mueller Report, and let Congress do its job.
Sarah may not understand. Only a minority voted for Trump. His opponent was running against Putin, Comey, Sanders and Trump. And there was a third party candidate siphoning off votes from Hillary. America does not love Trump.
Should we pity the ignorance & tragic position of Ivanka & her brothers? Silence from them would be understandable. The shame & humiliation must be suffocating. But they compound their disgrace when they are openly complicit.
My choice: Pete Buttigieg. Just give him five minutes of your time in a news clip, interview, whatever, & I think you'll see why he fills people with hope & optimism. We need someone good, someone smart, someone authentic. Pete is all those things. He'll be a great president.
"I think the magic to his rise is he says, you know, we don't want to get into a big fight just for the purpose of a fight. The country's deeply divided.
Pete Buttigieg's youth and optimism is winning over older Iowans:
This NYT article has it wrong. Conway bombed big time. Her blatant contempt for interviewers, & her nasty spiteful spin served no one. She invited the ridicule she received. Her fall from grace requires a more penetrating analysis.
Amen. I've voted by mail from my home in California for years. Strikes me as a very safe method of voting. Would love to see all voters have this safe & efficient convenience.
@JoyceWhiteVance
Trump has shown more outrage in the last few days about Americans voting by mail during a pandemic than he has ever shown about Russian efforts to interfere with our elections.
Maybe it's time for the three networks and the cable news channels to remind American voters of just who and what Putin really is, and what the goals of Russia are. A solid, well researched documentary or two might very much help right now to clarify the dangers we face.
Look at the abortion issue this way: a rich Republican can obtain an abortion for his wife, his daughter or his mistress with one cell phone call from the golf course. It's the working class mother of four who needs the affordable local clinic ---which the GOP wants to destroy.
I want Mayor Pete to be our nominee. I want his unique combination of talent, experience, and age. Born into a digital world of which I never even dreamed, he has the imagination & talent to be a great president.
@PeteButtigieg
@DeadlineWH
@maddow
This is a joyous moment! The good guys have triumphed and we have triumphed as a nation—and no doubt the world is celebrating with us. We are America! And back to work we go!
Abortion is a class issue in that laws against it target the working class and the poor. Any affluent Republican can get a private abortion with ease. Pro life affects those who need help. The issue is used to get votes from Evangelicals.
Quite a lot, actually, Laura. You might start watching MSNBC. Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Laurence O'Donnell and others are some of the smartest people in cable news today. Their brilliant commentary on world events is priceless. Quite an education.
Sen. Martha McSally, a Republican facing a difficult election race, lashed out when I asked if she would consider new evidence as part of the Senate trial. “You’re a liberal hack - I’m not talking to you. You’re a liberal hack.” She then walked into a hearing room.
For 2 years, I've dreamed of a fresh presidential candidate coming out of nowhere, surprising us, becoming the one to win, unify and restore. All of our Democratic candidates are fine & impressive. But is Mayor Pete Buttigieg the fresh face & voice I dreamed of?
@PeteButtigieg
@realDonaldTrump
Why does Trump continually obsess over Hillary? It's as if he simply doesn't know who he is or what he is and what he ought to be doing.
Let's hope this happens. Vote them out. Vote them all out. The Senate GOP refused to convict Trump of high crimes & misdemeanors. For the sake of this country, vote them all out. RT if you agree.
It has been a year of truly unbelievable shocks. It has been a year in which the presidency was debased beyond anything I could have ever imagined -- a year in which a craven GOP failed their constitutional duty to impeach a man manifestly unfit to be in the WH. But we have hope.
@ChelseaClinton
Chelsea, I admire you & your mother so very much. You have endured a campaign of persecution that no two people should ever have to endure.
I respect and care about Trump's voter. I get that they loved him and believed in them. They are my fellow Americans and I am confident Biden and Harris will be sensitive to their needs. But Trump and Trumpism are finished. Done.
How could this woman say the heartless cold things she said? How could she denigrate the press in this country? Why does she work for the NRA? I found her shocking.
The spokesperson for the National Rifle Association has long used the logic of motherhood in her defense of guns. This week, though, she faced an unexpectedly powerful foe: kids.
Fellow Democrats on the stage tonight: if you think I'll support you if you tear into Joe Biden like a shark, I can tell you now that I will not. Act presidential if you want my consideration. And note, Pete Buttigieg has set the bar for presidential gravitas very high.
I have never known a time as frightening as this one. I'm seriously wondering what IS going on with Trump & the Russians? What is he doing? Is he our president? Or is he working for them?
Yes, & to see Trump convicted on the basis of overwhelming evidence, & removed, would spell the end of an era that has shaken the country, & speed up the badly needed restoration of the rule of law, & true moral leadership.
I can think of no more fitting end to the last 3 years of lawlessness &attempted destruction of the American ideal than the conviction of
@realDonaldTrump
,after his full & fair trial
To have him be the first convicted President would go a long way toward restoring American norms
Pete Buttigieg is clearly winning over hearts & minds with astonishing success. So attacks on him are coming from all over. Pete handles all with humility & dignity. He’ll be a great president.
If, after Trump & his ilk are removed from power, we are ever to restore integrity to our public discourse, Pence and Sarah Huckabee Sanders must be called to account for their lies. Huckabee Sanders and Spicer, and Kellyanne Conway must be called to account.
