My dear friend and @GoldhirshFdn director @clairedhoffman has a new book coming out soon: Sister, Sinner: The Miraculous Life and Mysterious Disappearance of Aimee Semple McPherson. One of America’s most famous evangelists, McPherson is an LA icon who created the first megachurch. I can’t wait for this fascinating read!

Hey @realDonaldTrump, you can’t trust your campaign, your staff, or your family.
They’re all talking about you — and we know it for sure. You might be the only one who doesn’t.

Carrying the Bible and posing it with was strange. Carrying it and not reading a scripture or offering a prayer made it all the stranger. And made it all the clearer that the Bible was not for reference. It was a prop.

Is my Twitter account just a lazy retweeting mechanism? Yes. Is this long lost story one of my favorites? Also yes.

This is what family separation at the U.S., Mexico border sounds like.
ProPublica has obtained audio from inside a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility, in which children can be heard wailing. propub.li/2JYuTkn

.@SecNielsen must resign. This is not an immigration issue, it is a humanitarian issue. Children are being used by the Trump Admin to create leverage, with a goal of passing Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. I struggle to think of anything more barbaric. #FamiliesBelongTogether
