This is something we can all agree on: the atrocities in Syria are in humane & must be stopped. This genocide is happening; it deserves our attention & cannot be ignored. #SaveSyria

We need to get to the truth, & as @RepKinzinger has said, a bipartisan approach is necessary in order to have a full & transparent accounting of what happened on Jan 6 & who played a role in the insurrection. Whether he serves on the Select Committee is up to @SpeakerPelosi .

Really? Members, plural, of Congress sought you out to complain about a lack of gym towels? And wondered out loud to you if it was because of #SchumerShutdown ? That’s incredible. Are you the towel expert? Do you have a part time job at the gym?

The voicemails & calls we’ve received, especially this week, have been off-the-charts despicable & gruesome. It’s sad for humanity that people have such evil in their hearts. Still, we carry on! Big shout out to #TeamKinzinger & to all staffers who handle the phones. 👏👏👏

And yet Assad continues to reign over Syria, brutally attacking & torturing & murdering thousands of Syrians. The atrocities & war crimes of Assad’s genocide are beyond horrific. Thank you @SoccerMouaz for sharing Caesar’s story & continuing to share truth & seek justice.

My time with @AliceStewartDC was not long, but it’s a testament to her nature that she made you feel as though you were lifelong friends. She was light and life, and it was a privilege to be in her orbit. May she rest peacefully, always.

That’s 10 Republican votes in support of impeachment, making this the most bipartisan impeachment in U.S. history. “This is about keeping my oath and honoring that oath.” - @RepKinzinger on @NBCNews with @SavannahGuthrie

During my first year w/ the @SpeakerBoehner Press Team, I wrote a piece on the Lindy Boggs Room. When Cokie Roberts emailed me directly to say thank you for the tribute to her mother, I was floored. A class act who inspired me then, & still today, I’ll never forget her kindness.
