Heartbroken to hear of the death of Val Kilmer. Top Secret! Was the first film I paid my own money to see in a theater. Real Genius taught me that me that you could be smart and funny and cool (even if I wasn’t). His performance as Jim Morrision in The Doors was astonishing. One of the greatest.

Hey @ossoff.senate.gov & @warnock.senate.gov: I'm a Georgia voter. Haven't missed an election since I've lived here 20+ years. And y'all would do well to take up the torch when Senator Booker is incapable of continuing.

THIS is why many local police departments choose not to share some information with ICE. This woman's decision to report her assault to the cops led to her being arrested by ICE and likely deported. The message this sends to people is they shouldn't report crimes. That's bad for our communities.

With all the chaos right now, it is good to remember that you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Even better to realize that you can break a whole bunch of eggs and still not get an omelet.

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often the avoidance of loss. So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses not averted?
