Thank you, @OmarJimenez, for highlighting @Project_Dynamo1's work in Texas. This tragedy is wrapped in silence; lives lost, families mourning. But Texas grit endures, the Lone Star still shines, and surely Kerrville will rebuild stronger and more beautiful. #TexasStrong
"It's somehow oppressive because you know what you are doing. It's cadaver recovery," says Mario Duarte, currently helping with the rescue efforts in Texas through @Project_Dynamo1. He believes at this point they're doing search and recovery and speaks of the silence in that.
A man of deep goodness, warmth, talent, and charm. He challenged himself in music, art, cinema, spoken word and writing. We did Shakespeare together, crime drama and played dear friends on TV at one point. Art imitating life. Forever youthful, he had a huge capacity for joy but…
A federal judge has sentenced an ex-officer in the Breonna Taylor raid to nearly 3 years in prison, declining the DOJ request that no prison time be given. Brett Hankison is the first person sentenced to prison in the case.

I just got off with a source & sadly have confirmed this terrible news: Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died after a drowning accident in Costa Rica where he was on a family vacation. The Cosby Show star was 54. I met him once & he was so, so lovely. RIP. 🕊️ Thinking of his family.
On @CNN this morning discussing how Putin can be pushed to the negotiation table.
"Russia is the problem, they continue to demand simply the conquering of Ukraine, we cannot permit that to happen," this former NATO Supreme Allied Commander @stavridisj tells me as Ukrainian President Zelensky calls for peace talks with Russia.
President Trump hopes to squeeze 5 more Congressional seats out of Texas with redrawn maps. "Republicans need to understand if they go down this path...they can't expect Democrats to sit back and let them change the rules of the game and not respond," says @RepMcClellan.
A recent CNN poll showed 72% of Democrat or Democratic aligned voters said they're extremely motivated to vote in next year's election, but just 58% had a favorable view of the party. "What's going to matter is what we're doing on the ground," says Democratic @RepMcClellan.
Let us all have a Wolf Spritzer today for the anniversary of this all time post.
Enjoying a Wolf Spritzer at El Presidente restaurant here in DC.
Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans voted to advance the nomination of Emil Bove, President Trump’s former personal attorney, to a federal judgeship. Every Democratic senator walked out, including @SenWhitehouse, who says Republicans were trying to "jam this guy through."
"They're gonna have some challenges" but the first step with Alcatraz is to "assess how real can this be," former acting DHS Secretary @ChadFWolf tells me on AG Bondi and Sec. Burgum's visit today.
"This is just an absurd irresponsible proposal on so many levels," says California State Senator @Scott_Wiener on the proposal for Alcatraz to reopen as a prison. Nancy Pelosi today called it the "Trump Administration’s stupidest initiative yet."
The Venn diagram between Laura Loomer and Senator Dick Durbin overlaps on maybe just one issue, releasing more Epstein files. It's an effort Democratic @SenWhitehouse also supports.
Reporter to reporter, this is what Skyler Gisondo learned about journalism while making Superman. It's a journalism movie too!
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague David Gergen. David was the first person I ever interviewed as a young college journalist. I couldn't believe when years later, I was a working journalist and we would sit on sets together at CNN. He was a…
Skyler Gisondo thought he was auditioning for the actual Superman character. Honest mistake 😂 #Superman
