Friends I had the most amazing night taking the #corvette around #NYC and letting people sit in it. Young and old, it brought such joy - and I even got to do this. #Kindness
People were incredulous that it wasn’t some scam. But they got in and those smiles — phew!
Dancing in Times Square
This is not my car, it’s a press car from @chevrolet. I just wanted to make people happy. I drove the crap out of it already.
This kid!
I didn’t turn anyone away. This man is a street vendor. He said he hadn’t sat in a Corvette in 50 yrs since his dad had one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m a journalist folks. I was given a press car, instead I wanted to hear what other people thought about it. The happiness was unexpected. It’s not my car, this isn’t some ego stroke. Jeez.

If you’ve ever worked with classified info, it’s very likely that you’ve taken classified info home with you, so that you can continue to work. Could be as benign as notes. To in any way compare this to what Trump did is an attempt to minimize his actions.
Legend has it that those who’ve gone through certain schools where the study guide was classified, had a copy that was circulated outside of the SCIF so that students could prep. Can neither confirm nor deny.
Biden and Pense probably had some notes or something benign. Not boxes of documents.
I spoke to several “federal senior law enforcement officials” yesterday about FBI inv involving elected and appointed officials. They both expressed a concern about the appearance of the FBI being used to settle political scores. This is concerning for several reasons.
First, there is truth in this statement. We can’t investigate the winner of an election or somebody appointed by opposing parties POTUS, just bc they are on the “other side.” We all understand this.
2nd, what do we do, as in the case with Trump, when the guardrails are gone? There was no objective vetting, for example. Does this mean the FBI has to pick up the slack for what should be a POTUS responsibility? Even if they refuse to do their duty. Sounds like the FBI says no.
What’s the difference between white nationalists and white supremacists? White supremacists believe the white race is superior to all, while white nationalists believe in a whites-only Christian ethno state. One seeks to subjugate and the other to flat out remove.
White nationalists are people who you’ll find in Idaho and Western Washington State, whereas, white supremacists can be more urban based - they are a modern day KKK.
While there ideologies are both racist, anti-Semitic, etc, it’s important to note that they have different agendas and goals. Both, however, have the ability to use terror and violence. Furthermore, in the Trump era both have become emboldened.
Trump is why I was hired by MSNBC. I was paid handsomely, and as long as he remained in the public eye, I benefitted from it financially. No more. I am done with that - it’s blood money as far as I’m concerned. Outrage has always been easier than substance. 🧵
He creates outrage porn, that is loved by the media in its simplicity and cheapness to grab attention. All while ignoring fundamental and uncomfortable substantive questions. Yes he met with a NAZI, but why are there NAZIs? We focus on the former, not the latter.
There are fundamental issues with this country, that are literally whitewashed in favor of something outrageous he says. I don’t want to be party to that machinery of outrage anymore. I won’t feed something that results in no change, just more of the same.
It is absolutely likely that the Chinese and others are trying to collect on the judge and anyone else associated with this criminal case. They are likely trying to dump her and others phones. It is only a matter of time before adversarial forces become aware of that inte.
Russia and specifically China, have robust intelligence collection apparatus IN THE UNITED STATES! Getting on a judges phone is like child’s play for them. This is what we’re dealing with!!
This isn’t some conspiratorial bs, these nations have very well placed collection methods that can easily collect on an individual. That means if she is discussing anything on her cell or laptop pertaining to the specifics of the material, they have collected. This is terrible.
