Always fun to go to a Washington @nationals game and meet new friends. #GoNats!

In “The Situation Room” today, I remembered the legendary Connie Francis and her wonderful music. Please watch.

Yesterday in “The Situation Room,” I remembered David Gergen who just passed. He was a good friend and a special man. Watch this.

Good to have my co-anchor ⁦@PamelaBrownCNN⁩ back with me in Washington for our two hour “Situation Room.” She did really powerful and excellent reporting on the catastrophic floods in Texas. Please join us this morning and every weekday morning at 10AM Eastern.

Good to hang out with my journalistic colleague Clark Kent who writes for the “Daily Planet.”

Great news! My friend and former ⁦@CNN⁩ colleague ⁦@danielsilvabook⁩ has written another terrific new novel “An Inside Job.” And Gabriel Allon is back in action. You will enjoy.

A very nice way last night to start this July 4th holiday weekend with a Washington @Nationals 11-7 win over the Detroit @Tigers #GoNats!

⁦@PamelaBrownCNN⁩ and I welcomed @washingtonpost journalist and bestselling author Sally Quinn to “The Situation Room.” Her new novel “Silent Retreat” is terrific.

In “The Situation Room,” ⁦@PamelaBrownCNN⁩ and I remembered and honored the great Sly Stone who just passed away at the age of 82.

Congratulations to Evan Osnos for his very timely and important new book “The Haves and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultrarich.” It is very compelling and you will learn a lot.

It was 45 years ago today, June 1, 1980, when the great Ted Turner launched CNN, the first 24/7 television news network, and he changed the way people get their news. I’m so proud I have been with CNN for 35 of those 45 years. Thanks to Ted and to all my wonderful colleagues.

Check out why Buffalo, NY is “My Happy Place.” cnn.com/2025/05/30/Tv/…

I went back to my hometown Buffalo, NY, to highlight some wonderful memories and special places, including a visit to the ⁦@BuffaloBills⁩ stadium. It’s part of a new @CNN series called “Mr Happy Place.” Watch my report today during the 11 AM ET hour of “The Situation Room.”

So happy to be celebrating the truly excellent new book “My Russia: What I Saw inside The Kremlin” by my friend and former colleague Jill Dougherty, the former @cnn Moscow Bureau Chief. You will learn a lot.

⁦@PamelaBrownCNN⁩ and I were so excited and happy to congratulate our friend and @CNN colleague ⁦@KatieBoLillis⁩ for her terrific new book: “Death of a Racehorse: An American Story.” It’s a fascinating read.

My first day at @cnn was 35 years ago today - May 8, 1990 - when I became CNN’s Pentagon Correspondent. I thought it would be a slow beat but Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait which launched the first Gulf War. I still get up every day and love reporting the news. Thanks @cnn

Our special coverage has begun. We expect the first votes for a new Pope to be cast today. Please join ⁦@PamelaBrownCNN⁩ and me for our special edition of The Situation Room.

I loved “Just in Time,” the new Broadway musical starring Jonathan Groff as the great Bobby Darin. Groff’s singing, dancing and acting are amazing. The whole cast was terrific. If you love Rock & Roll, as I do, you will love “Just in Time.”

“Good Night, and Good Luck” with George Clooney playing the legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow is truly excellent and so timely to what’s going on today. And I was honored to meet George who was so nice.

“I always thought I was the only one.” That from CNN’s Elie Honig who was named after his grandfather,who survived the Holocaust. But now, a chance encounter with another Elie Honig led him to a remarkable story. Join us in The Situation Room this morning 10am ET for the story.
