Honored to speak today at the @WhiteHouse to commemorate the upcoming 30th annual World AIDS Day. We have made great progress in recent years, but our work is far from over. And that work will continue until we end the scourge of HIV/AIDS once and for all. #WorldAIDSDay
In 15 yrs we've helped save more than 17M lives & prevented millions more from contracting HIV. AIDS-related deaths have been cut in 1/2 since their peak in 2004. @PEPFAR has been one of the most successful investments in healthcare & humanitarian aid in US history. #WorldAIDSDay
Since Pres. Bush signed @PEPFAR 15 yrs ago, the US has devoted more than $80 billion to prevent HIV infections & deliver lifesaving treatment to millions. This investment is the largest investment by any nation to respond to a single disease in human history. #WorldAIDSDay

.@POTUS Trump is the most pro-Israel president in American history, and today, on behalf of @POTUS and our entire administration, I’m proud to say if the world knows nothing else, let the world know this: America STANDS with Israel. #IACKenes
Our @POTUS promised to ensure that Israel would have the resources and tools to defend itself, by itself. And today, American support for the security of the State of Israel is greater than ever before! #IACKenes
While every President for the past two decades promised to recognize Israel’s capital, @POTUS Trump did more than promise. One year ago next week, he delivered – and in May, the United States opened its embassy in Jerusalem – the capital of the State of Israel! #IACKenes

The American people have spoken. In race after race, @POTUS Trump’s leadership & tireless efforts made the difference. This was a great midterm election. Thanks to @POTUS, we made history. In fact, we defied history.
We offer our congratulations to all the men and women who were elected to serve our Nation at every level - and now we go back to work making America more prosperous and more secure.
The American people can be confident that @POTUS & I will work in good faith, with anyone, from either party, who will stand with us to deliver more results & put America First.

.@POTUS Trump promised to fight for better trade deals – and once again today he delivered. After a year of tough negotiations, the United States and Mexico reached a trade agreement that is fair and reciprocal and will strengthen both nations’ economies.
Today marks a new chapter between the United States and Mexico – one built around friendship, security, commerce, and prosperity. The U.S. – Mexico Trade Agreement is a win for American ranchers, manufacturers, and auto workers.
Our nations have agreed to new rules that will maintain duty free access for agricultural goods on both sides of the border. In addition, we have agreed to eliminate non-tariff barriers and take other steps to encourage more agriculture trade between our two countries.

Just resurfacing frm 2wks off over the holidays. Visited South Africa—saw gorgeous 🦒🐘🦁s, birds, seaside towns, & spent time thinking! Highlights from 2018(warning: long thread). It's been a hard yr so both bragging & celebrating. Looking fwd to all that’s in store for 2019! 1/
First, on the research front, we made headway in multiple open directions.

As ML is being deployed in domains like healthcare, education, & recruiting, it’s critical we understand scenarios in which model outputs may be unreliable during deployment. 2/
A key source of unreliability is due to unanticipated shifts in the data distribution between train and deployment environments. Previously, we’d discussed one such type—policy shift—and how these get introduced when deploying a decision support tool: arxiv.org/abs/1703.10651 3/

Enough of mourning friends and playing catch-up when thousands are needlessly infected and endangered, at great cost to society. On this World AIDS Day, let us pledge to take a brave, open and truly global approach to eradicating this disease.
28 years ago, I lost my dear friend Greg Witcher to HIV/AIDS. That was before we had the drug cocktails that keep people alive and well. Greg wasted away before my eyes. He wasn’t 35 years old.
In the early years of AIDS, President Reagan wouldn’t even say the word. Since then, leaders as disparate as Rep. Barbara Lee and President George W. Bush helped save millions of lives through government-funded science, education and prevention programs.

(MEGA-THREAD) A *major* mystery in the Trump-Russia investigation—what type of illegal election assistance Israeli intel-affiliated entities offered the Trump campaign after Trump Jr. accepted their help in August 2016—may have just been solved. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ We know from the NEW YORK TIMES that on August 3, 2016, an emissary from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates—George Nader—offered the Trump campaign illegal election assistance at Trump Tower, and that Don Jr. said "yes" to the two nations' offer. nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…
2/ We also know that Joel Zamel—an Australia-born Israeli businessman who runs two "business intelligence outfits"—was also at the meetup, which Nader and Trump shadow national security adviser Erik Prince had set up. We know Zamel offered his assistance too—and Don Jr. said yes.

I've lately been recommending to people that they read Sir John Glubb's "Fate of Empiraes" in response to various questions about trends in American current events, both culturally and politically.

In this thread I'm going to explain a little bit about that.
Sir John Bagot Glubb, known later in his life as "Glubb Pasha", was of a particular sort of colonialist Anglo polymath England used to produce in disproportionate numbers before the Empire came apart at the seams.

Glubb, born in 1897, was a witness to that dissolution.
Glubb was raised and educated in various far-flung locales around the world, and served with distinction in World War 1, for which he was awarded the Military Cross.

But by 1926 he had resigned his commission and went on to a career in colonial administration in the middle east.
