I first met #DavidGergen in 1980. He was incredibly wise, perceptive and funny. I’ve been privileged to know him ever since and to work with him at @Kennedy_School What an extraordinary career in public service he’s had. A truly remarkable man. Holding his family in the light.

It’s not going away, no matter how many distractions you throw out. Release the entire Epstein files—no one asked for what you deem ‘pertinent’ grand jury testimony.

U.S. continues its retreat from cultural hegemony. The left and right should agree on this one. nytimes.com/2025/07/23/wor…

Unwavering support for UNESCO, a universal guardian of science, the Ocean, education, culture, and world heritage. The withdrawal of the United States will not weaken our commitment alongside those who lead this fight.

Human's are causing the Earth's sixth mass extinction. 83% of wild mammals have already been pushed past the brink. If nature goes, its taking us with it. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #biodiversity #natureneedshalf #biodiversity

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that if trump weren't on the "missing" Epstein client list, he'd have sued Elon by now, and we'd be looking at the names of ALL clients on that list, both Democratic and Republican. Release the list.
