Greetings from Game #4 of the 2023 #WorldSeries - where the streak continues for an 18th consecutive year! This is my 20th WS game overall, 3rd in AZ (first since Game #7 in 2001!) and 3rd time seeing both the @Dbacks and @Rangers in the Fall Classic.

Among my fondest memories of working in the George W. Bush White House was the Bush to Obama transition. And that’s not because I liked the end result of the election, far from it, but because we were a small part of something much bigger than ourselves.

Can someone explain why headlines like this are necessary? Do we send out breaking news push alerts when cancer deaths exceed 3,000 in a year? Or strokes? Or diabetes? This headline, and @washingtonpost wasn’t the only one to run something similar, screams of sensationalism. 1/2

There is no one who can convince America with a straight face - especially after Saturday - that JD Vance is prepared to be president of the United States. This is Trump feeling politically invincible & picking a spokesperson, not a governing partner.

Meeting with my parents (who came to the US, met, married & had me) in the Oval, President George W. Bush said, “Think about that... two immigrants to this great country & their only child works for the president of the United States.” This is every immigrant family’s dream.
