1/ When my daughter was five we wore matching Keds and denim jackets, and sometimes she twirled in the evening light as I shared with her the best parts of what I knew.
2/ Now she is 32, a working mother of two children who think she is made of magic. When I recently said I didn’t want to get my hopes up about something, she said, “Mom you always told me, ‘Get your hopes up because you don’t want to miss all those happy moments along the way.’”
3/ It’s true that we never stop being parents, but it’s also true that our kids never stop teaching us things about ourselves. If we’re lucky, they remind us of who we want to be so that the best parts of us can bloom again.

May your Sunday land gently.

1/ Four years ago, my daughter went into labor with her first child. My friend Sue raced me to the airport in record time for two evening flights, w/a short connection time. The airline employee at the 2nd gate looked at my purse & laptop case draped over my arm. "No," she said.
2/ She pointed at my suitcase. “You can’t take that on the plane.”

I assured her that I had gate-checked it on the previous flight, and asked to do that again. “No, she said. “You have to go back to the terminal and check it.” My heart was now pounding.
3/ “My daughter is in labor,” I said, my voice trembling. “I’m trying to get to her in time.” She shook her head. “Not my problem.”

That’s when I heard the stranger’s voice behind me.

“I’ll take it, honey,” he said.

1/ First, a disclosure: I first knew Elizabeth Warren as my husband's colleague in the U.S. Senate. She & I have had some brief, meaningful conversations over the last few years, but I would not presume to describe us as friends.

And yet.
2/ After my brother's suicide in July, Elizabeth Warren texted. Then she called. And then she wrote a personal note of support.

This was during one of the darkest times of my life, and I had no intention of sharing this publicly.

Until now, in response to recent coverage.
3/ This is not an endorsement of Elizabeth Warren the candidate, but an affirmation of who I know her to be. Anyone falsely casting her as angry & antagonistic is telegraphing the limits of their minds, & the magnitude of their insecurities.

1/ “Outbreaks of scabies, shingles and chickenpox were spreading among the hundreds of children who were being held in cramped cells, agents said.” nyti.ms/2YFJd8A
2/ “The stench of the children’s dirty clothing was so strong it spread to the agents’ own clothing — people in town would scrunch their noses when they left work.”
3/ “The children cried constantly. One girl seemed likely enough to try to kill herself that the agents made her sleep on a cot in front of them, so they could watch her as they were processing new arrivals.”

1. With each passing year, people gain a better understanding of what I was writing in my coverage of Trump-Russia before the election. This is the key story, and I am going to begin highlighting things folks now should be to understand far better... newsweek.com/donald-trump-v…
2...now, the quick criticism of American journalism before I begin. The general reaction from the rest of the press as I wrote these deeply reported stories was "Too crazy to be believed." Then they would return to another Hillary email story. But the information was all....

In September, 2016, I heard through the intel grapevine that a FISA warrant application had been filed related to someone connected to the Trump campaign. (This was proved much later.) I...
