“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him.
Kaiser Wilhelm II was convinced that he was brilliant, despite all evidence to the contrary, at “personal diplomacy,” or fixing foreign policy through one-on-one meetings with other European monarchs and statesmen. (He was not). nyer.cm/uzKKMvo
I served with Jim Clapper. Bob Mueller is a combat decorated Marine. Each has had 1 wife (over 100 years of marriage). Rudy Giuliani and @realDonaldTrump had more deferments (10) to avoid facing harm’s way than they’ve had wives (6 ... so far). I know who I trust. @CNNSotu

Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.
It’s bitter cold in parts of the US, but climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann explains that’s exactly what we should expect from the climate crisis. ow.ly/Gdm230hAFv4
Former White House counsel John Dean says former President Richard Nixon might've survived Watergate "if there'd been a Fox News" cnn.it/2CtFqUP
Retweet if you agree it’s totally crazy to suggest that the FBI — having helped sink Hillary’s campaign by revealing that she was under investigation while concealing that Trump was being investigated — has secretly been anti-Trump all along.
This tweet made my day. This might be 2017’s worst!
Churchill was hated by his own party, opposition party, and press. Feared by King as reckless, and despised for his bluntness. But unlike Neville Chamberlain, he didn't retreat. We had a Chamberlain for 8 yrs; in @realDonaldTrump we have a Churchill.
