I always told my journalists, there aren’t two sides to a lie. Yes, you should be non-partisan, but not neutral. Journalists must be biased in favor of the truth and facts. Biased in favor of democracy itself. We protect the press so the press can protect democracy. Let’s do that.

His foreign policy is from the 18th century; his economic policy is from the 19th century; and his social policies are from the 1950s. Moving America Backward.

Just wondering whether this is what people voted for? A soon-to-be $300 billion tax on American consumers that will make almost everything more expensive.

The EU, our largest trade partner, is now making “deals” with Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Southeast Asian nations—and pretty much anyone frustrated by our wild and inconsistent trade policies. America First = America Isolated = America in decline.

Trump’s budget would close 10 laboratories run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that help predict life-threatening weather, including one in Miami that sends teams of “hurricane hunters” to fly into storms to collect critical data. Right now, 30 of the 122.

The expertise, knowledge, and experience of the Foreign Service has no rival. I never knew what party any of them may have been a member of. They served the American people.

The only polygraph and loyalty test the FBI should use is loyalty to the Constitution and the American people.

One out of three US counties essentially has no journalists. The number of reporters has declined by 75% since the turn of the century. Democracy dies in news deserts. The First Amendment protects the press so the press can protect democracy.

On July 4th weekend, a discussion with @AliVelshi about America's soft power, which is not our military might but the power of American ideas and values. We are not defined by a common heritage or religion, but an uncommon set of ideas: that all people are created equal.
