"Juliette Kayyem, you just lowered my blood pressure." @FWhitfield "That is what I am here for. There will be a lot of hot moments between the US and China in years ahead. Let's make sure none of them happen on US soil." A conversation about buying time #chinesespyballoon @CNN

I had the great honor of introducing Franco “immaculate reception “ Harris earlier this year during a special event in Pittsburg. He was as big in life as in legend. So sad and shocked of the passing of #francoharris

A giant in journalism: CBSs Bill Plante. So sorry to hear of his passing. It was such an honor to talk to him in 2015 about his 1965 coverage of Selma. Equally cool was literally running into him jogging in DC 2017. His smile was like his imprint in journalism: Big. RIP

Andrew McCabe and I spent time with @FWhitfield walking through the #Uvalde report and the breakdown in incident command. "There is simply no overcoming that failure in first moments in not creating an incident command or incident command post." Part I. @cnn

I can not tell you how sad I am to hear of the great Renee Poussaint's passing. She was not only one of DC's favorite long time tv anchors, she was one of my idols. I was a college intern at WJLA. She taught me what she demostrated: poise, preparedness and professionalism.
